    Jandy Space Saver Valve Leaking?

    I went out to check on my stuff today. I closed the pool about a month ago. I found that one of the Jandy valves is leaking. It's closed but water is still getting past it. Do I need to just replace the diverter assembly?

    Clorox Products?

    I am seeing various Clorox brand pool products this year. So far I have found Pool salt and stabilizer with the Clorox label. Anyone use them? I am going to try their stabilizer as it was available on Amazon with Prime.

    Anyone install a shade sail over the pool? What did you use for support posts? Anyone have them so they can be removable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plaster/Pebble tec question

    Interesting read. You get sort of a mixed reaction from it. Some of it says yes you can but then some of it says your probably shouldn't.

    Plaster/Pebble tec question

    The builder was showing me pictures of his installs. Everyone that involved pebble had no tile band and pebble to coping. Anything plaster related that wasn't pebble had a tile band. Found it interesting.

    Plaster/Pebble tec question

    Looking at refinishing my plaster pool. Currently it is your typical white plaster and tile band at the top. Had a builder come look and advised we could remove the tile band and pebble tec to the coping. Any one have this design in their pool? Any issues? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    pool monitor

    I totally hear where you are coming from. As they say the proof is in the pudding. Sutro is shipping to their preorder people. So they have devices at least. They said they are still working out their sensors and are swapping devices out as they refine it. As I said they are looking to open...

    Spoke with Ravi @ Sutro tonight. They are working on their sensors to make them the best possible solution they can build. I really like they are trying to make the best possible device and not just slapping together what already exists. They are shipping preorders this year with a bigger launch...

    Sutro is working on such a device. I have had chats with them about it. They aren't using ORP for measurement. They are trying to be better than what's out there now. No chemical subscription required either as of now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    All these systems report back to them through the Internet and tell the, what you need. You shouldn't get anything you don't necessarily need. However, they may push Algaecides and those type things on you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    pool monitor

    Had a little back and forth with with someone at pHin. When I asked the following this was their repsonse: How does your testing compare to the known issues with ePool? What if someone didn't want to subscribe to your chemicals, can they just buy your device? In this day and age and the...

    I meant them not ben. I spoke with Ravi @ Sutro tonight. Very interesting stuff going on there. They couldn't confirm or deny their testing method due to their patent filings, but they fully understand the issues out there with ePool. They seem to be on our side and not trying to pool store...

    Credit where credit is due--Amazon.com

    Amazon is opening a distribution center in NJ that is why sales tax is coming to our purchases. Which kind of stinks. They have a distribution center in PA so we already get everything Next Day with our Prime subscription. I can order stuff on a Sunday and get it on a Monday. It is amazing.

    The Pool Calculator

    I have been kicking around the idea of a web site based off the pool calculator but taking it one step further. It would allow you to log your test results, run it though a calculator bring your the results and allow you to log the chemicals from the results you applied for treatment. You would...
