Hello everyone! I was hoping someone might have some guidance on what is an acceptable loss of pressure when building. I read quite a bit and the information seems to be all over the place. They plumber came out and replaced a makeshift cap they had placed in the skimmer while waiting for the...

Well we are building our second pool after having moved to our new home. We are strongly considering glass tile including the waterline, spa spillway and raised rear wall. I have been reading stories of difficulties with glass tile. It seems like a lot of the problems stem from smaller tiles...

We have the Hayward Omnilogic with Colorlogic lights and we love them. I do have one question and am curious if others have the same experience. When I change the color from one color to the very next in the line of colors on my Omnilogic app, then the light flashes once to the new color. If I...

Is it ok to add muriatic acid while the heater is running? Daughter’s 5th bday party today and we are warming up the pool for the kids but thanks to a torrential storm last night I’ve got some last minute water balancing to take care of.

I got my SWG up and running last night and I am shooting for 3100 ppm. I added enough salt to get to 3000 ppm according to pool math (starting at 800 with first test before adding salt) last night and tested tonight. It registered at 2600. I used pool math to top off the salt to between 3000...

Just ordered an S300. Kudos to Margaret at Marina! Couldn’t have been easier. Should be here this weekend. Will enlist the kiddos help in naming it! Any stories or tips for the S300?

Good morning everyone! Our pool was completed over the Christmas holiday and we are getting to the point where the water is consistently at or over 60 degrees during the sunlight. I have a few questions regarding my startup process. I have enough Salt to get the salinity up to the recommended...

Good evening everyone. I’m in the process of learning what my pool needs are regarding my pump run time. So far I am experimenting with 4 hours at about 1035 RPM and 2 hours at 1550 RPM. So far so good though I expect to bump the run times up a bit in the summer. Will also be turning on the...

Below are my first test results about 3 days after complete fill. FC 3 PH 6.5 TA 30 CH 250 CYA 10-15 I did go SWG but with the cooler water temps I am planning on bleach until I start up the SWG. The builder added tabs for now. I am thinking I can use those and still add about a gallon of...

They have started installing our equipment and I noticed that they installed the flow switch in a different section of pipe than the SWG. Is this ok? Edit: I have no idea why the first picture is upside down.

Is there a recommendation when it comes to skimmers? Is it based if sq ft?

Good afternoon everyone, I am going to have our PB add a SWG into our pool build. We are going with Hayward equipment and I am trying to determine the difference between the AquaRite and the AquaRite 900. I would appreciate any information you may have. Our pool will be a freeform 30.5 X 21...

Good afternoon everyone. We are in the beginning stages of our build and have decided to remove the Polaris 280 the PB was including and buying a robot most likely from Mariana. Our PB mentioned we can still go ahead and have the pool plumbed for a pressure cleaner but I am curious if there...

My wife and I are in the initial research stages for our potential new pool and I stumbled across this website, which I hope to make use of plenty in the future. We are getting quotes from builders and exploring financing options so I figured I would make a new post to ask you folks whom are...
