I drained my pool equipment before the big freeze in Dallas and protected all of my equipment. However, my waterfalls are in a raised beam and above my valves. Clearly the valves retained water which of course froze! Next time I will know to remove the face of the valves. Only one valve body...

Hello all it has been a while since posting on the site. Sorry for the disappearance. I am looking to change out my single speed pump motor with a dual speed motor. My ROI is two years at current electricity prices (.09/KWh). I have one lingering unanswered question. Will I have any issues...

Hi gang, I am trying to help friends move to SWG. I just concluded a SLAM process with them and explained why their pool guy was failing them dumping liquid chlorine in their pool once a week...... They are ready to move to SWG and fire the pool guy. Pool is ~20,000 gallons per original pool...

Is there a way to change a thread title? I have a thread, Refurb - Sachse, Tx, and I am doing a bi-carb startup. I would like to add that info to the thread title for future reference for all.

Hello all, I have been reading all of the great info and following some of the builds & refurbs completed and in process. I was truly inspired to strongly consider the O/B Bicarbonate Startup (see JamieP/Brian bdavis466 thread - Getting ready for O/B Bicarbonate Startup). JamieP's pool just...

Hello all, I stumbled upon and have been surfing this site for several weeks. Pool School and Pool Math are amazing. I recently purchased my first cases of Liquid Chlorine and Taylor K-2006 FAS-DPD and have shut off my auto feeder based on what I have read here. Unfortunately my CYA level is...
