@Leebo - no problems and no hard feelings at all. Hope my response did not appear ‘grumpy’ or anything like that. Was just trying to be informative :) Internet pricing is tough, feels like a race to the bottom always, and coupon codes can push deals into the red which is really no good long...

Hi guys - just talked with Margaret. The deal is the tfp code for discounts does not apply to ANY pool cleaners or pool cleaner accessories. So that is why they cannot honor it. We should update the forum supporter benefits to reflect that. I still bought the cleaner and filter because I want...

Got it - thank you all for such quick responses, I’ll update what I get to talking with them :)

Hello, I am a recent Bronze supporter, and trying to place an order at Marina Pools for a Evo614iq cleaner + an extra filter, I have the code for them that I was provided for supporting the forum, but it keeps saying it cannot apply to this order. This is an Evo cleaner, not matronics, so not...

I wanted to update this thread yet again! Frankly - the GE Z-wave units were unreliable for me through my Ring & Amazon Alexa applications. It would say that it had carried out the routine to turn them on sometimes - and in fact it had not. I just could not live with this type of uncertainty. I...

I wanted to update this thread - those Dewenwils outdoor smart outlet boxes had a critical failure on me and I have since replaced them with a pair of these Z-wave GE models...

Hi All - I know this is reviving an older thread on this, but it is the top one that came up when I was searching for some follow-up. Here in July 2021 - I reached out to Clorox on their 'Clorox performance Bleach" with CloroMax technology' bleach that I had been buying from Sam's Club to...

Thanks @Katodude - that's my plan, getting my CYA back up to 70-80, and then holding my FC in that 8-10 PPM range.

@TriangleMan - yeah, Flood was my favorite album of their's. I remember that Tiny Tunes video - it is imprinted in my mind! If I recall, that is pretty much the 'official' music video for that song + I believe they did Istanbul as well. Good stuff. And funny with the kiddos I have heard that...

Thank you all for the replies - really helps give confidence in 'trust the #'s' and keep exhaustively looking at EVERY source there could be. @TriangleMan - first off anybody who has a TMBG quote in their signature is a good dude in my book, that song brings me back! Super thorough post there...

Thanks for the replay YippeeSkippy I realize my post was a bit long, but to clarify I am losing way more than the 2-4 sun tax a day, by my calculations with the bleach I am putting in + the SWG runtime, I am losing like 15-20+ PPM a day through this process, every day for a week... On the...

Water chem is as follows: FC: maintaining around 24PPM (lowest it has dropped to during process was 20) CC: 0 CYA: 50-60 (always hard to tell, been running SLAM with 24 target) TA: 70 CH: low 300's Salt: 3200 +/- pH: not reliable now, but generally in the 7.6/7.8 range (water feature tends to...

@chiefwej - those are good points as well. I guess on first pass I am happy to hear it seems I am overthinking it as opposed to underthinking it! I like your approach around the smart switches - I use Kasa for the majority of my switches/bulbs (around 30 or so) and I would love to add more to...

@kevreh - my thoughts on not having the SWG and pump on the same switch was, I could use that wifi switch to set the schedule for the SWG to run a separate schedule from the pool pump. As in - let's say with the new variable speed pump I run a lower rate for a longer period of the day - like 12...

For reference, my current setup - I am 2nd owner on this pool, and bought the house a few years back with the setup. Been real solid and pretty trouble free to date - but my pump sounds like a dying squirrel and rather than just rebuild the old Northstar and continue forward with a single...

Wanted to share some feedback around a policy from Hayward on their SWG cells currently (as of June 2020 at least). Tagline: Looks like online sales for the standard model like a T-Cell-15 is now only 1 year and not 3 years. Background I purchased a cell through Amazon - sold through Amazon...

Thanks @Jimrahbe for the additional context!

Thanks for the response guys, I will look into patching up those crack spots. @Jimrahbe - sorry a bit new to this, when you mention it 'attacking from the bottom' what should I be concerned about specifically? I thought that the job of the coping was mostly cosmetic, but is there a part of the...

Hi TFP team - Wanted to grab your opinion on this - here is an overview of my pool: We have been in the house a couple years, believe the previous owner had it installed around 2008: I have noticed some cracks between the sandstone? surround of the pool in the seams betweeen stones. Are...
