Hi Everyone, To preface: the question is how to raise CSI slightly (and further prevent it from dropping / controlling it in general) as the trend seems to be leading to a negative out of range due to unexpected (and maybe temporary) low CH in fill water. I'll mention that I read many threads...

Hi All, I recently installed a stenner pump to fight my constant PH rise due to SWG, aeration (waterfall / grotto style) and kids splashing "vigorously", I emphasize, everyday. I got the stenner pump tuned and PH is sitting nicely at 7.6 as of a few days ago but i also noticed that ALK is at...

Assuming age cannot be determined, and the lack of leaks and problems cannot be identified when buying used, are used panels a good idea Let's assume they are 10+ years old and maybe even sat in the sun without water in them for longer periods of time. I can fix leaks but will I be buying...

Anyone attempt to build solar panels using PVCs connected with Ts? Say using 1/2 inch or 3/4? Something that would end up looking like the panels that are sold. Instead of using irrigation hoses in loops? It is more expensive but surely sturdier and probably easier to assemble by gluing. Also...

Hi All, I want to prevent my Stenner pump (for MA) from ever running when there is no flow. I read this thread but I want to do it differently if possible and hopefully simpler. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/controlling-stenner-with-a-flow-switch.172656/ I am thinking of using a...

Hi All, I'm looking into Stenner pumps for MA and would like to get feedback regarding my analysis. I have not found other members mentioning using the Econ LD in the forums. I run my Pentair VS pump at low rpm 24/7 all year along with an SWCG at low settings. My acid demand is up to 1 gal per...

Hi All, I searched here and just ordered the RJ60+. But during my search online, I stumbled on the Sunseeker ss40 which is much less expensive than similar sized SWCG. Can't find any threads discussing it so I did not go for it and was skeptical. But I still want to know if anyone knows anything...

Hi All, I am just done SLAMming my pool successfully (thank you for this information) only to be left with this unsightly view (see attachment). You can see a triangle forming from the edge of the pool. The triangle points to the return which tells me that whatever deposited there was being...

Hi, I finished building my pool in 2011 and filled in water in February. In December, Outside temperature was a little above freezing, I turned on my lights and about 15 minutes later the lights were off. They are both connected through a junction box and GFCI. After some time I figured out...

Hi All, I built my pool as an owner/builder with a lot of research and assumptions (hopefully good ones) so if you notice that my setup as I describe it below is not common, now you know why. As for my question, I want to know when to backwash. I know about the increase of pressure by 10 but...

Hi All, I have an umbrella sleeve in my new pool's baja and now that it's time to use the pool, I just realized that putting a pole in there might not be the best idea due to the obvious reason; corrosion. My concern is of course not the pole itself but the pool and it's chemistry. This is of...
