Tony. After Tony Hawk because it looks like it grinds the circular part of our curved seating in the shallow end.

I have not seen shortages in general. HD, lowes are out of stock a bit quicker than normal, but Leslie's here gets in two shipments a week and always seems to have some. it a bit more expensive but I do what I need to keep it TFP clear and clean.

Hello from Helotes, TX

up to 76 today... tomorrow we have 97 deg. temps forcasted. I'm thinking a swim tomorrow after work....

69. Clean, clear and ready for swimming ( for me anyway) once it warms up another 8-10 degrees. My daughters boy friend has already been swimming several times over the last week or so.

this is great!

I'm just curious... Did anyone just remove the plugs, drain the equipment and leave the lids off the pumps, etc and actually fair well through the freeze? I wondered if that was the best route through all of it vs. trying to keep it running all the time with rolling blackouts or in my case...

use your part number off the pump and order a new volute housing and replace. it doesn't look overly complicated if you are mechanically inclined. there are also youtube videos on how to do this as well.

In Helotes, TX just outside San Antonio. same.. still running pumps full time. all is good so far... we are expecting snow/ice late this evening into tomorrow AM. I also have blankets over the equipment and a tarp around my pool equipment.

Like you, I have the same setup. If you have the Screenlogic app, you can also enable freeze protection for the pumps under the Screenlogic setup app, under Setup Circuits- turn on "On with Freeze" by configured circuit. Alternatively, since the weather will be at freezing or lower until mid...

I also use a timer. I plumbed it into the manual pvc fill line. in the winter, I replace the timer with a piece of pvc with the proper threaded ends as the timer says not to leave out in the freezing weather. The water evaporation is so much less in the winter its manageable once or twice a week.

Same happened to me on my last home depot purchase.

One year ago yesterday, we filled our new pool. Since then, I have followed the TFP way and have enjoyed wonderfully clear and clean water. At first, I was intimidated by the thought of having to add chlorine daily, but once I got in to a routine, it was no big deal. For those who are not...

faulty temp sensor maybe?

Same here... I just cut it off and let it float around.

Update on this: I finally took the bag to the PB. They said the collar does not come off and suggested I order a new bag with the snap ring collar. So I did . Now that I received it and replaced the assembly on my cleaner, I decided to take apart the old one . This way, if it broke I would...

I completely agree with you Akropp.. i have a Pentair whisperflo for the water fall and it is anything but "whisper" quiet. Knowing what i know now, I would have gone with a variable speed pump. Even for the waterfall. I do have a Pentair VSF for the pool and its great. As Jimrahbe said...

I ran full set of tests, brushed the pool walls,etc. Went for a swim this afternoon. Pool is at 77 deg.

I just just bought some this evening at Home Depot. 1 Case(3 gallons) of 10% chlorine. $9.98. I bought 4 cases and got $1.00 off each case at that quantity. ~$3.25 per gallon.

I have this same issue. Mine always reads between 10 and 15 higher than i really is, only when it's hot outside. Like you said, I assume its the sun shining on the bricks under the control panel where it is mounted. My backyard web cam always seems to be accurate so I use that for outside temp.

73 today..

Our local home depot has plenty of cases on hand. I'm not sure about limits but at three gallons per sealed case and multiple family members, it seems you could get what you need.

A big take away from my build was not letting the pool builder decide something for you or to push you into a compromise. Your family has to live with the end result. Your pool company sales team will be long gone after you finish.

This situation almost sounds to good to be true. A $180 price difference between board types is a significant one based on a single resistor being added. As someone who has many years of soldering experience this is tempting.

We had 71 on Monday/Tuesday until another cool front came in. now at 67. my daughter and her friend jumped in Monday and swam around a bit.

^ I do the same thing. I have the hardest time differentiating the color above 7.8

We purchased the 'ION" brand they sell and the battery didn't last but 30 minutes, and didn't even sound as good as our little JBL for half the price.

I ran into this same thing. I tried to get receipts from the builder with no luck.

We have a JBL Charge 3. It's small yet has great sound. https://www.amazon.com/JBL-JBLCHARGE3BLKAM-Waterproof-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B01F24RHF4 it doesn't float and I wouldn't submerge it but it can get wet.

Nice pool. We also thought our yard was too small for a pool but were amazed at what they did with the space.
