    How does the skimmer work?

    I was more confused why there is a return for the skimmer when there is no suction. The picture with water has a jet shooting out a hole on the other side. No suction.

    How does the skimmer work?

    Just had a quick question. When I close the skimmer return nothing seems to happen. Is there actually suction in the slimmer based on the pictures? It appears the jet shoots out the hole on the other side of the pool, but no suction. Just confused why there is a return for the slimmer.

    Advice for 2 week old pool

    Advice for 2 week old pool

    I do have the salt test and did it a few days ago. It was 400 ppm, so based on the app i need to add 300lbs to get it to 3000ppm. Probably going to add 200lbs at once and check daily and add a bag at a time until I get to 3000.

    Advice for 2 week old pool

    Ok I had a few more questions, if you don’t mind. My pool is coming up on 30 days old this week. I was planning on adding salt to it, mainly just to swim in it this weekend. See any issues with this? I am pretty sure I need to keep the SWCG off and continue to use chlorine, but any reason not to...

    Advice for 2 week old pool

    I just ran some new numbers. From what I can tell I am looking good. TA is a little high, but not much. Probably going to at some Muriatic acid in a few days to get me towards 7.6 PH. Any issues? FC 2.5 CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 110 CH 300 CYA 30 Temp 58 CSI .11

    Thanks for the follow up. I am using the pool calculator app and didn’t know how to get the CSI number, but realized I was just missing temp. I add the 52 degrees and my csi is -.52. I will let the ph raise up some and monitor. Thank you.

    New Pool in Round Rock Texas

    Ok I need some advice. They were going to install the travertine yesterday behind the sheer descent and I saw the opened travertine and it looked really bad. The stone was rusted and breaking apart so I called an audible and had them use the glass tile we had for the waterline instead. Now the...
