Would appreciate any inputs.

Hello, I have some fairly basic questions about building a new pool. We currently have an old, large, kidney shaped pool in a poor location in the yard, so we are closing it. Currently debating having no pool vs. getting a small 8'X16' (Modpool like pool) or a pool kit 10'x20' (from some online...

Thanks for your reply. I doubt I'd have a temperature problem at this time of the year in the Bay Area (Northern CA). When I rebuilt the Polaris last year, I did replace the wall disconnect and I have the blue disc in the wall. Couple of days ago, I tried swapping that out with the 'red' disc to...

I did - and I'm not getting any RPMs.

I'm not sure what pictures you exactly want to see but I've posted a few here: polaris 380

Hello TFP experts - having a rather strange problem. I have a Polaris 380 that has been working great all these years I've had it. I'd rebuilt most of the insides last summer and haven't had any problems since then. About 3 weeks ago, I decided to replace the leaky old school booster pump hose...

Makes sense. Thanks. Great! Thanks again. Hope to start this project soon.

Hi - thanks for this great post. I'm attaching a picture of my pool (to help explain my question a little better - there's no diving board anymore BTW - which is the white rectangle on the right edge of the picture). I got a 20'x40' 12 mil cover and threw it over the pool and cut it to shape...

Not sure it's a great idea to resurrect old threads. But thought it's better than starting a similar duplicate. Nabin - how did you finally resolve this? I recently rebuilt my Polaris 380 and it was working fine for a couple of weeks and suddenly now the wall disconnect keeps popping off (from...

Hi zea3 and others: Here are the numbers using the Taylor K2006 kit: FC: 5 CC: 0 CYA: 40 TA: 100 CH: 250-275 (somewhere between 10 & 11 drops * 25) pH: 8 (or more). But it needed just a drop (from the acid demand test) to bring it down to ~7.6 Should I just lower the pH with HCl and then...

Thanks. The draining fixed the CYA and CH levels. I lowered the pH and completed the SLAM process. I used Cal Hypo since the CH was fairly low after the drain/refill (almost 200-225). Now my FC levels have started to drift down to about 6-7, CH is about 275. CYA is about 40. Question I have is -...

Hi - I'm so glad I found TFP (thanks to all of you folks!) last week after I decided to stop my pool guy and do it myself (about 4 weeks ago). I got a solar blanket for the pool and he said that he wouldn't service unless I removed the blanket every week before he showed up. To avoid the hassle...
