Getting replastered and am told the Tahoe Blue color is also known by the names in the title. My question is about tile decorations set into the plaster. I've looked at pools with the grey plaster, and they look darker, which I like. When we went to a tile store to look at tiles, we saw some...

So, there are no 6" models that are serviceable and can come apart?

I just sent those pics of my lights to a replastering company. They said those are 6" spa lights, not standard 10" pool lights. I asked how he could tell, and he said he used the 3" tile that you can see in one of the pics as reference. Would you all agree with that? If so, looks like I need...

The waste of time and effort is what would bother me most. Thank you.

Ahhh, I see. I'm not sure I want to be that "adventurous". 🥵

I'm not sure what you mean by "adventurous". Could you please elaborate here? Do you know if this ColorSpash bulb fits the Amerilite housing (or whatever you call it)?

Thank you! So, the Amerilites are a possibility for me then. OK, so where do I get info on replacement bulbs? They don't seem easy to locate on Pentair's site. Edit: Oops, looks like I found replacement bulbs, but not LED. Will LED, in fact, work in those housings without having to modify my...

That makes sense. I guess they wouldn't be crushed and deformed by the elements if they haven't been installed. I live near Sacramento, where we never "close" our pools, and my pool is smack-dab in the middle of our backyard, so it's an attention-getter. I also like the ambience of colored...

I guess in my haste (due to the shock of the cost of replacement lights), I mis-read that. Thank you for straightening me out. :goodjob:

What do you think, are these transformers?

Thanks for that. I forgot to mention that the lights stopped working one by one over time. Never took them out to see why because when I attempted to take the housings out of their niches, it looked like the screws and where the screws go were so old I was afraid I might not be able to get them...

Thank you for such a quick reply. Sounds like you're suggesting I buy a new housing with incandescent bulb, then buy a new seal and an LED bulb, and retrofit the new housing before I install it. From what I can tell, the PoolTone style of light would also be a serviceable housing, but would...

Bought 1992-built house in 1999. White plaster pool was already in the ground, with some mottling and a stain. Sine 2022 a few plaster blisters started showing up, and I am now in the midst of getting replastering quotes. I almost had a heart attack when I heard the cost of basic color-changin...

Maybe I can't read my own writing on my jand-written log (surgery was recent so still on meds), but I stopped going to Leslie's for testing, too, but the last report from them on July last year was 75.

Looks like I missed that reply about TA. I have been able to do all tests yet due to my health and that darned surgery, but my last TA test before winter was 128.

Oh, that's good to know. I just went out and tested again for today and it's 7.6,right where my target it is. I know I am testing correctly (how can you screw up a pH test), and I swear for two days straight in read 7.0. Is it possible that the rainstorm could have caused that?

I typically have to add acid every few days to bring my ph down. In fact, if I let it go a couple of weeks, I will exceed 8.0. I recently had a surgery and, as, expected, during the time I was away, the pH crept up to 8.0, so over the next few days, I added a cup of acid to gradually lower the...

I'm not sure what it's called, but I thought it was just regular plaster... not a Pebble Tec or anything like that. I just want the "normal" plaster and in a darkish color, like a blu-ish grey. Thank you for all the links. I will need to digest them. I was actually wondering if it could be done...

When is it NOT OK to replaster a pool?

@shbatm : I'm wondering the same thing. Although I have experience writing code, I'm a bit confused when you mentioned using a "Note-RED to Home Assistant interface". For clarification, can we do something directly from a PC, and not need any other interfaces, aside from the serial USB adapter...

I just looked at that Lutron switch you mentioned. I never thought of just using one of those types of switches as an on/off switch. I have a manual Intermatic timer, and once in a while want to turn it on and back off outside of the normal on/off schedule. Having the ability to do that remotely...

Yep, that's Schedule A-1, I believe. I've tried them all and have come back to this one, too. It sucks that they have all those other programs, but they all run this "variable" speed pump for too many hours on high RPMs, which defeats the purpose of having a variable speed pump as a main pump. I...

Try as I might, I don't see mention of a "century connect", although I do see mention of an "upgraded board" compatible with some other systems. There is also no mention of anything that indicates it will be able to simply be programmed without needing to be integrated into another system.

Nope, they wrote back and said they forwarded the message to the proper division, but never heard back. I am sorry that I trusted Inyo Pools' recommendation of this pump motor. While it is able to be set to run at different speeds, if you aren't able to "vary" the speeds to meet your particular...

At first, I felt let down, like a hihg school quarterback being teased by a cheerleader. But, then I perused the links you referenced. I'm going to have to devote some time to try and decipher what everyone is doing on those threads, i.e. what adapters, boards, cabling, etc. they're using, and...

I don't necessarily need wireless. But, if that's what works, I'm willing. Where are these apps you speak of? Where can I get the control codes?
