My Dolphin S300 had just died after 4 years and 3 months. In its first year, I was removing the unit after each pool cleaning. Probably was putting it in the pool 1-2 times a week depending. After the first year, I left that sucker in the pool all the time only removing it to clean the...

Yeah, it was just like that when we got the house years ago, no backwash valve on the filter. Thank you for the feedback.

So my pool got replastered with mini pebble last summer in July. Since then, I began managing the pool on my own for the first time and let go of our pool guy. It's been going great. Since summer is around the corner, I'm wondering if I now need to clean my pool filter. I have a Hayward Pro...

Shot was taken with a friend’s Mavic Pro 2. So far, he likes it a lot.

Does this setup with a GE smart switch work if there’s a GFCI in the mix?

Niiiiiice!

I retested my CYA a couple days ago and I measured it at 60. Using the TF-100 test, I made sure I completely could no longer see that black circle dot in the test tube. So CYA 60 I believe is the accurate reading I got. With that said, I've been trying adding liquid chlorine to keep the FC...

Judging by how much debris I actually get in my pool, I think I'll be using it twice if not once a week. I was confused with the timers making it seem if it was meant to just be left in the pool. But I'll just pull it out and clean it after each use. Thanks for the feedback. By the way, I...

Proud owner of a new Dolphin S300 pool cleaner. This is my first time owning a pool robot cleaner. Got it all set up and cleaning the pool currently. Already, the Dolphin S300 has cleaned up all the debris at the bottom of the deep end in the first hour of cleaning. So far, it's looking...

It took about 3 days for them to do all the work in the pool. 4th day they acid washed the mini pebble then filled the pool back up with water that day.

It was set up that way when we bought the home. That's the goal, to hopefully not have any algae outbreak. I think I'm ready to let go our pool guy.

Thanks! I'll stop using the chlorine tabs in the inline chlorinator. Liquid chlorine it is. One thing though, my DE filter doesn't have a backwash valve from my understanding. Should I get one installed? Also, not sure where I would drain that water out to where my pool equipment is...

TF-100 Test kit came in and here are my results: FC - 8ppm pH - 7.5 TA - 150 CH - 300 CYA - 65 CC - 0.5 Hopefullly, I tested with some accuracy for my first time. I think CYA is a little high, since it needs to be in between 30 and 50 right? Is my TA high? How are the rest of the water...

A local business who does pool fences installed it at our pool. It cost about $1k. So far its been holding up a great for the last 4 years. A year ago, I called for the guy to come out to fix one area of the fencing when one of the pool gates wasn't lining up and closing properly. He came...

To be honest. I have no idea. When we bought the home, the pool and deck was already like this. It's really nice. It looked a lot better without the pool fencing, but we had to put that in when we had our little one.

When we bought our home, the plaster in the pool was already deteriorating in several spots and it increased over the years. 6 years later, I decided its finally time to resurface our pool. We went with Stonescape Mini Pebble, Tahoe Blue. We also replaced our pool light with a Pentair...

Should I have not gone with the Pentair Rainbow 320 in-line chlorinator that uses the tablets then? Well, its already installed. In terms of liquid chlorine, is it just simply pouring it in as needed? Also, any recommendations on the vacuum if needed and what type to use?

My pool is currently being service once a week by our pool guy. I've seen through our Ring camera in our backyard, he comes for about 10 minutes. He checks the water chemistry and then nets the pool. Sometimes he brings out the vacuum. All in all, I essentially want to discontinue the...

Thanks! I got a basic test kit that does chlorine, Ph, Bromine and total alkalinity. It was $16.99 on amazon. I guess I should return that and get the Taylor Service Complete Pool Water Test Kit K-2006C that about $100. Looks like that's what I really need to test all the chemistry of the...

Home owner of over 6 years with a pool but always had a pool guy servicing our pool once a week. Pool is a kidney shaped, lagoon style pool about 30' long x 14' wide. Estimating about 16,500 gallons (I think). I just got my pool refinished with Stonescape mini pebble, Tahoe Blue, and...
