Newdude -I hear ya about the weathermen freaking people out. However it is going to be -3 here where I am. Which is truly 35 below freezing….🥶

I have a concern about the heater coming on in such cold temps. Perhaps @ajw22 can confirm if you should bypass it altogether. FWIW I have a Jandy JXI heater. I did speak with Jandy customer service. They advised to either keep the heater off and the pump running in freeze protection, or heat...

Im in KY! Where it will get to -3 and —20 wind chills…. It will be well below freezing for 5 days. I do have a whole home generator so power should not be a problem. iAqualink freeze protection is on. I also have my heater set to kick on if water temp goes below 37. Current water temp is...

I have an 18 x 36 rectangular pool. Unfortunately the skimmers were built only about 1 foot from the corner on each side. See attached photo. Skimmers marked in red. I have always had the water circulating couter clockwise but had someone recently who swore that the water should be...

Thanks guys, right now csi is -0.44 Calcium at 190 TA at 55 I will bring calcium up some more today. adding salt this weekend PS i have been battling rising PH for 15 years haha. I buy muriatic acid by the case

Okie dokie, all is going keeping water balanced daily. By this weekend I will be ready to add salt. Looks like I am going to need 13 bags of salt. Do I dump all of that in at once? Someone said you should not let undissolved salt sit on the bottom of the pool? I don’t see how I’m going to add...

Maddie I will add some calcium. Ok to dump it in or do i need to add to skimmer/sock etc ?

Filled out signature line. Thanks for reminding I am using a Leslie's K2006 knockoff teat kit but its a few years old. Going to replace this weekend. this morning FC is 3ppm and CC is 0 Ph is 7.2 My plaster guy has s telling me calcium should be 150 but test kit recommends 200-400. I have...

Ok Thats for heads up about the CYA in the skimmer. Below are this mornings numbers. Not sure why FC is not higher. I added a gallon of 10% liquid chlorine last night which should have resulted in about 5ppm no?(approx 20K gallon pool) also not sure why PH isn’t rising faster but maybe...

Ok 1 gallon of HDX Chlorinating Liquid from Home Depot added. (10% Sodium hypochlorite). And 5lbs dry CYA added in skimmer. Pool math app downloaded and linked to account. Thanks again for the help!

Thank you so much for the response. I have put in 5 pounds of CYA And on way home now from Home Depot with chlorinating liquid. Will report back

New Hydrazzo put in two weeks ago. Pool has been handed over to me to take care of. current readings are Chlorine 0 PH 7.0 Total alkalinity 50 Cyanuric acid zero Calcium 40 Not much plaster dust when I brush although it’s hard to tell it hasn’t been vacuumed since it was filled two weeks ago...

Well Its finished and I’d say my satisfaction level is about 7 out of 10. The ecofinish on walls looks great but Hatteras Gray Hydrazzo is not as expected. To my eyes he did not expose enough of the agregate. He skipped the polishing phase. He said hes done it so many times that polishing...

Thanks Casey - My pool guy told me only get a 1hp because my pool is plumbed with 1.5” pipe and anything more than 1hp will put too much pressure in the lines. Any thoughts on this? I am looking at buying the 1.5hp assuming I can set it to always run at 1hp or less? I am looking at pentain...

Hey guys, below is a picture of my current setup. I am getting ready to make some changes and looking for input/advice. I am planning on removing the booster pump for my cleaner and going with a newer cleaner that operates from an electric outlet..any draw back to this? I have an old 1hp...
