    WaterGuru - A Test

    Thanks for your input. I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered one. My pool is pretty easy/reliable as it only needs acid about every 1.5-2 weeks and have to adjust the SWG minimally based on swimmer load, temp, etc CH, TA never seem to change. So I think this will be nice to glance at...

    WaterGuru - A Test

    That is kind of annoying. Seems like it would make sense to be able to input your own numbers so their CSI/CYA are accurate, especially since the app allows for notifications

    WaterGuru - A Test

    Question, if you test on your own (such as monthly calcium, cya, etc) can you input those numbers in the WG app?

    DIY Solar Cover Roller

    Mine are 12 ft long and I'm glad they are not any longer. I think the 1.5" ABS pipe would have trouble holding up 20ft + cover.

    Here we go! Help with decision plz.

    Thanks Sollace, we just got a bunch of rain and didn't see the sun for about a week. A new little creek popped up behind our house, but we didn't see any of the wind.

    Here we go! Help with decision plz.

    I would say yes on the SWG. And here is this week's reason why. Tropical Storm Eta hit us twice. Once when it was passing southern FL and again when it was headed up Tampa's way. It's been nasty off and on for a week. I usually try to pamper my pool every Sunday by doing a chemical check...

    Travertine vs concrete pavers

    Good points bbqjosh. I have little ones and they run even though I'm constantly telling them not to. They have not slipped on the pavers either. If I had a slippery surface I would be in trouble. Def a consideration with kids.

    Travertine vs concrete pavers

    I don't find our pavers to be hot at all. They get warm, but never have they been too hot for my bare feet. Our pavers are a tan base color.

    Small bubbles from the return line

    LOL, I had this same issue and it took me MONTHS to figure it out. I thought I had a leak for the longest time and I even tried to use shaving cream to find the suction leak. But yes, you will see small constant bubbles from SWG AND my bubbles didn't go away right after shutting off the SWG...

    Tired of Manually Adding Liquid Chlorine

    I have a SWG in FL. Works great. I check my pool one time per week. It's affordable too if you have someone that can do the plumbing and you buy the SWG separately

    The absolute best granite sealer

    Is this good for indoor countertops? I need to reseal mine at some point.

    Disabling SWG

    Ha ha! I know the feeling. I have almost 4 year old twins and they don't listen to a word. Stop running, stop hitting your sister, blah blah blah. They hear for 10 seconds, then forget and resume activity.

    Disabling SWG

    Can't you just turn the power off on the console? I can turn mine completely off with just the "power" button (edge model)

    What happened with the light issue?

    M.Acid Feeder with SWG

    I have a SWG and I test my pH weekly and it's almost always 7.8 (after 1 week of acid addition). I always need the same amount - 12oz per week. My point is the acid demand is not crazy so I agree/support wJimrahbe.

    Construction just began- will I regret not going bigger?

    We have a 9500 gallon pool with the deep end being 5ft. Our young kids are very happy and it's enough for what you described (lounging/floats).

    My New Old Pool Dig Out

    I'm not a builder or even pretend to know anything about building. However, I had my pool remodeled last year and they did the coping first, then the pool tile. When they grouted the tile, they sealed up any spaces between the coping and the tile at that time.

    Stonescapes Mini Pebble - Still does not look right

    Did they do an acid wash the day after plaster application? It looks like too much creme (I think they call it). The acid wash the next day exposes the pebbles.

    Skim Around for a Skimmer

    Mine works as advertised (vortex effect), however I have to keep my water level in a specific range (mid skimmer). If it's any higher than mid skimmer then it doesn't work and I have to throw a rock in the bottom to keep it from floating. At this time of year (rainy season), I just throw a...

    Maybelle the Dolphin Nautilus - I'm gonna miss her.

    Awe, nice memory and name. Mine is just called "Sucky". So impersonal, but we can't change it down. It's learned it's name already.

    SWG run time calculations assistance

    So just to contribute to the conversation because I find it interesting. I have an edge-40. I had the toughest time getting it dialed in with a few SLAMs due to erratically dropping FC (FC would hold for 2 days then drop suddenly). I finally treated for phosphates (tested at 2500+) and it's...

    Is it time to replace my salt cell

    Just to add to your post. I have a SWG and couldn't get FC levels stable. My pool would hold FC for a few days then drop. I SLAMMED over and over again. I passed the overnight CL test many times. I couldn't figure anything out so I broke down and treated my pool for phosphates (my numbers...
