Thanks to all. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Attached is a photo of my pH reading. My question is whether I should be looking at the darkness of color or the “pinkness.” I would call this as 7.4 and 7.6. But that’s because my sample is not as yellow as the lower readings. Am I doing this right?

I’m pretty sure it’s not a leak because the water level doesn’t go down at all on weekends when it’s covered 24 hours a day. On weekdays the pool temperature is 95 degrees for 8 hours and we have a dehumidifier that maintains the relative humidity at 52%. Actually, I only have to add water for...

Thanks. I think I will go with an auto fill from Rola Chem. It’s $78.00 and I think it’s easy to keep an eye on it.

My pool requires addition of water almost every other day. I have a cheap hose timer made by Green Thumb, but it frequently doesn't shut off as set on the timer. This has twice caused my pool to overflow. I am wondering if there is a better controller/timer out there that people have had good...

I just called Florida Sunseeker and spoke with Kory. He hadn’t seen the photos so I sent them over again . He is sending me a new light ASAP. They are very good people

Thanks all. I will call them again tomorrow.The woman I spoke to was very helpful and she did say that they received my email with the photos. She said that she would give it all to the proper person in charge of this and I really thought they would get back to me. I actually think that these...

Florida Sunseeker Pool Tone lights So I started out with Pentair GloBrites in my pool and one of them failed in about a year so be I gradually replaced them with the Pooltone ones from FL Sunseeker. All was well for about 1-½ years until last Friday when one started making a popping sound and...

I have a Hayward C3030 swim clear filter I installed in June, 2020. It came with the genuine filters. Since then I have put in 2 sets of filters I bought from Amazon for about half the cost of the genuine Haywards. Amazon wants $240.00 for a set of 4 plus $69.00 for shipping. I just replaced a...

I have a Pentair Intelliflo XF variable speed pump that’s working fine. Installed new 2-½ years ago. Used in a 10,000 gallon non-salt water pool. It runs 24/7 at 2250 rpm for 8 hours and 650 rpm for 16 hours. Any idea how long this pump will last? Also, what are the symptoms of a pump that needs...

Ah, got it. I never knew about the not changing color after the last drop.

I have always wondered how to read the Taylor TA test. I took these photos this morning after putting in 2 drops of 0007, then 5 drops of 0008 then 8 drops of 0009 (first photo) and 9 drops in photo 2. Is this sample 80 or 90 ppm total alkalinity?

Thanks. I was primarily worried about putting screws into the coping so I won’t do that. The box is now held in place with two concrete screws through the back of the box. What do you think about putting two vertical pieces of stainless steel that could attached to the vertical wall through the...

This box has 2 buttons that push air through tubes to control an underwater treadmill made by Hudson Aquatics. It’s mounted as shown but it has picked up water and I have to replace it as water has made its way into the tubing. It arrives next week. I have decided to mount it on the pool deck...

Thanks so much. I will ask the Plumbing and Heating people who installed it to come out and inspect.

I have a Hayward pool heater, H400FD in my 10,500 gallon indoor pool. This is a very large heater and I installed it new in June of 2020. It has a safety feature that won't let the heater fire up unless the flow rate is above a certain level, around 2200 rpm (this is a good thing). I run the...

I posted a price a few months ago for LC here in Alaska of $15.95 per gallon at Alaska Pure Water Products in Anchorage. At that time, it was the only source. I previously bought LC at Ace Hardware here in Homer for $7.99 but they stopped supplying us over a year ago due to the pandemic. I am...

You can see the Badu massage hose in action in the videos on our website: www.KPTHomer.com

They use the Badu Inspiration every day. When I open the pool at 8:00 am, I always turn it on for about 5-10 minutes to thoroughly mix up the water before testing. The pump runs 24/7 (850 rpm unoccupied and 2250 rpm from 8-5). The Badu also helps avoid cold spots in the water. The Badu has a...

Thanks, AJ, I think that I'll just continue as is. The PH is going up a bit faster this week but it's not a problem. The water looks very good now so I don't want to fool with it.
