No the potato stone are behind the shed. The big ones are armor stone. They way a half ton to a ton each.

So last July we moved into our new house. We moved 10 houses down the street from our old house and doubled our lot size. We went from a 40x105 lot to a 77x179 lot. So we put the pool in late last year and closed it right away. Before diggining we were unaware that we had an almost 4' slope...

I patched the hose for now. I cut the collapsed piece and added a pvc joint piece to it. then drilled another hole for the sensor and for now all is well. If I do replace that piece with a hard pvc pipe, where do i put the sensor? will the temp sensor seal on a solid piece of pvc?

It is just a plastic piece, looks like a solid screw with no threading, its under a 1/4" round. It has a small rubber gasket on the end and it sits in a drilled hole in the line. It is held there by a metal hose clamp. I have wiggled it around and tightened it a bit, and it is very small...

I just went and did a back wash and when I turned the pump back on, I discovered a really bad leak. I am worried with this weather and the tech said they cant come until Wednesday or Thursday. So I am worried that the water will turn. It is leaking from the line that goes between the pump...

I am happy to report that it was just low water. I ran the hose for 4 hours and everything fired up well. Thanks so much for the quick replies. It calme my stress level down!!

ok thanks, that is what I will do. Over the past week I have set my pump to the built in timer on my prologic. It runs at night only for 12 hours, due to peak useage in my area. I really hope that me not running the pump for 24 hours a day will have something to do with this. My hydro bill...

Sorry for the caps on the title, but this is my first year of ownership, brand new pool. I just went outside and the pool sounds like it is burping. The pool runs fine for like 10 seconds then the skimmer sounds like it is sucking really hard like when you have a full sink and the water is...

Re: I want to know about pump running time and turnover time 5 or 6 for one turn over then? So maybe just run my pool from 7pm to 7am. That will cut my hydro well over half!! That should give me 2 turn overs a day, but will leaving the water not moving for 12 hours a day cause issues for me...

Ok, I have read as much as I can, and found a post from 2009 relating to my situation. As so many others have posted here, I too am effected by peak hours of hydro consumption. In my area of Ontario Canada, my rates are as follows 7pm to 7am low peak 5.9 cents per kw/h 7am to 11am mid peak...

I was wanting to do this as well. I want to run mine from 9pm to 8am and maybe an hour from 11am to 12pm or 5pm to 6pm to avoid premium hydro rates from 12 to 5pm I have the pro logic system and apparently I can set timers. Does anyone know how to do this???

I just found the tftest kit website, looks like it is from this website. I tried to purchase a kit, but when it come to billing I cant put in a Canadian address. I need to add the Canadian address for billing and then I can give my US address for shipping. Is this something that anyone has...

I live 30 min north of the border and have a shipping address in buffalo. What's the best site to order from

Oh and pool is crystal clear by the way

Well like I said I need to order a new kit. The one I got with the pool is not going to cut it and the pool store is getting annoyed. I can't tell difference between FC and CC. So I am not sure if cc is below .05. I will hit it again tonight and I will need to get a kit right away. The pool...

Ok so I think that I finally understand shocking. Last night I turned the SWG off, the pool had recieved 2kg of oxyout on Sunday night. I also had the SWG set to 35%. After reading all the posts, I shut the SWG off and last night I measured my FC. I was at 15ppm so I added 560oz of bleach...

Ok that is good info. I am trying to get my cya up to 70 so FC will be 3ppm right? My pool is 18,000 gallons so I will try and figure this out.

Not a matter of trust. I'm just trying to learn. I have read the shocking procedures but I really am confused on the dropping 1ppm over night and re teasing etc. I take all advicebut had a jug of oxy so thought I would give that a try first. Why not use what I have already? I trust info...

I appreciate all the advice and take what I can get from everyone. I have spent the past 4 hours reading various sites trying to grasp an understanding of pool chemistry. I trust the pool store and yes chemicals are costly but I'm new to this and need to understand. Things that I have...

Ok so the local pool store said to double my salt % and add 1kg of oxy. So you are saying shut the generator off and shock then? Does that rule apply to oxy?

I just went through my pool kit that I got when the pool was installed. I have a 3kg pail. The pail says to add 1kg of oxy-out per 75000 L each week. So how do I shock this to bring my 2.0CC down to zero?

I was just told to use a product called oxy-out. Does this make sense?

I'm going to buy a jug of liquid chlorine right now. Tom what I read my swg is not going to create enough chlorine to shock. So how do I figure out how much liquid chlorine to add to shock the pool? And what do I do with my swg % during this shocking with liquid chlorine

Ok so I went to pool school and I now know why they were worried about my CC level. So if I am in the middle of breaking something down, I increase my salt generator to like 30% for 24 hours. Will that burn my CC level down? I know that my FC level will increase. The water looks perfect and...

I'm trying to get this pool water right and here are my results today. Free Chlorine 0.6 Total Chlorine 2.6 Combined chlorine 2.0 pH 7.4 Alk 107 Cyaniric acid 60 Copper 0 Salt 3100ppm Ok so my question is how does this all look. They said that they had some concern about my chlorine. I...

Ok he is going to get water tested and chemicals today. I will post once I have some info. I didn't know that the water could go bad that quickly

My friend just had his pool installed. They filled the water on Thursday and on Saturday the electrician came and wired it. Everything looked good water looked good so we added 8 bags of salt to his pool. It's 12500 gal inground vinyl liner. Full Hayward system cartridge filter, t15 cell...

Just out of curiosity how many people try to be efficient with their pools. In my area off peak is from 9pm to 7am, mid 7am until 12pm. High 12 to 5pm and mid 5pm to 9pm With that said here is what I am thinking. I have an 18,000 gal pool. I would like to run my pump from 9pm to 9am (12hrs)...

Ok so why shock a pool then? And how do you do the bleach way that sounds alot cheaper

Ok quick question. I have an 18,000 gal inground pool. I have a t-15 Hayward cell and I keep my chlorine generator at 10%. That keeps me at 3.5pm with chlorine. My friend suggested that I turn the generator to 15% for a few hours after a heavy swim load to shock it. If I let the generator...
