Anyone see these new Aiper S1 Pro models?

Hi All Anyone care to share any updates on their experience with the Freedom? My booster pump AND 280 are pretty much done so I’m in the market and considering the freedom or the P40.

We are leaning gray also. Our pools look similar in size. Do you put the cover on yourself or have someone do it (wondering if 98/99 is much heavier than the 20 year old loop loc I’m getting rid of)

Would you have a recommendation as to 99 vs 91?

I believe the density is how much light will make it through. Example: 91% blocks 91% of UV etc

Hi All, I am looking at either the Latham 5000M PoolTux Mesh 91% density mesh or the Latham 7000MS PoolTux upgraded 99% density. My current Loop Loc has shredded so I need a replacement and Latham is currently offering free shipping and templating. Does anyone have any pros/cons of the two...

Thank you everyone.

I also did not realize you can use salt for water softeners as pool salt. Wow thanks for this.

I had read somewhere that diamond salt has a tendency to stain?

Local Ocean State Job Lot has this on sale for $10/40lb. Anyone use or know anything about it? Looks like 99.1% or greater. https://www.oceanstatejoblot.com/pool-salt-40-lbs/product/197043

Hey All, Personal preference is always a hard one, I know...but does anyone have a recommendation between a Raypak, Pentair or Hayward Natural Gas heater? I need upwards of 330k BTUs. Sorry if this is too generic of a post and admin can remove if necessary.

Thank you! Sometimes I find myself trying to find the dot and staring too long. I am going to retest again today.

This is very helpful, I don't know if I knew about these extended test kit directions. I will go find/read now. So then my TA is 70.

I commend you for catching that. I use the TF Pro Kit. On the TA test, I measured to half the value between 60 and 70 based on color change intensity. Is the test complete on the first sign of change? Then it would be 60. Thank you.

Hi Everyone, NY is going to be experiencing a heatwave over the next few days and it has me thinking if there is any proactive measures I should be taking for my chems. My latest log is below. I think everything is in order (maybe except CYA needs to rise a bit), can I get any advice and...

ok thanks, and sorry to pester you about this. Was just a bit worried and lesson learned now.

I just went out and checked again. No stains and no solids. Liner looks ok. I am assuming staining is within 2 hours?

Thanks for your help.

There was nothing larger than specs the size of pin dots (nothing clumpy or solid) ... is that what you meant?

solids the size of dust? what do you suggest I do? I brushed it, but can give it another brushing...

I added in front of a return jet (which was what the bottle instructed) and slowly. I added about 3/4 way down and then diluted and shook well and repeated. I brushed very well after it? Think I am ok or should I go brush more lol (I am paranoid).

Hello All, How long after adding liquid CYA do you have to wait to swim in the pool (specifically kids if it matters). Thanks

Is there a proper way to dispose of old unused Taylor reagents?

No, but I have not had to fill my pool all year really (just opened May 2). But can't hurt to try as well.

It’s the alk reagents I’m thinking may have gone bad.

I’m awfully close to that. May need to purchase a new set and retest. Think I’ll do that.

Thanks. The only other thing I’m wondering is what the shelf life is on my reagents? I am wondering if that could be a reason (faulty test)?

I would need at least three full gallons to get from 25 to 60 based on my pool math calculator but I understand this thought process.
