Hayward and hardwire it is. Appreciate it jblizzle.

Thanks for the response and advice. I currently have a plug in unit, but I can hardwire if need be. Are there any plug in units that are any good or should I just hard wire and get something with a good track record like the Hayward?

We've had a Jandy Aquapure EI for 3 years and the control unit died in year 2 (fixed under warranty) and again in year 3. Entering year 4 it's time to cut my losses and replace it with something reliable. I have an above ground pool installed partially below ground. I'm a little confused as...

I replied to the above poster via PM but I wanted to post here in case anyone else had questions. 1. We purchased from patiostore.com. They were very easy to deal with and worked directly with Radiant to customize things exactly as we wanted them. 2. We have never had a problem with the skimmer...

We put it on for the first time last night. Pool was 84 yesterday and it is still at 82 this morning (air temp dropped to 67 overnight). We will use it every night from now on unless we get another stretch of 90s/100s like we had for the last 6 weeks. This spot in our yard faces SW and gets...

Down to 78 degrees today due to a pretty cold overnight low. Considering breaking out the solar blanket. I never planned one but the radiant guys asked me about it so I assume it's a possibility. Not sure this is the case with all round pools but the deep end would have to be the middle the...

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. The 33' Radiant Metric is $7100 at the two authorized online retailers. We did some preliminary investigation of pools last year and one of the first ones we saw in a showroom was the Radiant Metric. The pool itself was a few thousand more in...

Thank you. We are in Elk River.

Thank you. It turned out exactly as we wanted it. Lots of help from family and several weekends from a carpenter friend.

Thanks. We had my sons 7th birthday party on Saturday and we had more than enough room for 20+ people. We also have a huge sandbox and big play set but not a single person ventured further into the yard than the pool- ha ha. We will see how well those trees serve us in the future, but so far...

99% finished deck and pool

Gorilla pad and equipment pad.

Excavation and installation

I wanted to wait until we were completely done to post but it will be another year before the plants grow in (and perhaps 2 before I get around to finishing the railings :lol: ) so 99% complete will have to do. This is what I have spent the better part of my summer doing and lucky for me it has...

So simple yet such an eye opener. I never thought to check the concentration of muriatic acid. Thank you. Most of this stuff is making so much sense now that I have a real pool, it is nice to find the answers to my questions fitting into my newbie conceptual framework.

Alkalinity is between 280 and 300. I was going to try adding the muriatic acid/ aeration trick (homemade pvc aerator) but it doesnt seem to be working. My PH is always at the high end of the test kit even though I have not aerated in about a week- 7.8 to 8.0 or more. I added 190oz of muriatic...

Yes it has. I just started the pool last week and backwashed a few times to get the rust out of the filter. Now I plan to let it run normally. It might have to do with the plumbing. I didnt plan to have to leave 12 inches between elbows or to have 30 inches between the sensor and the cell...

Maybe I will call Jandy and see what they say. Thanks.

Thanks. Tough to justify re- plumbing without knowing for sure.

I just installed my first pool. When I fired up the Jandy Aquapure ei I got a no flow message. I flipped my 1 hp pump from low to high and immediately the generator started to work. I am guessing the flow rate at the SWG is too low to run on low speed. Do I have any options other than...

I am glad you found humor in it- most of this stuff gives me a headache :-D. Less and less so now that I have actual water to experiment on. I grew up with lake water- weird that treating pool water makes me more nervous than green algae on the shoreline.

Thank you. Where has that SWG guide been all my life. I think I read it about a month ago but lost track somehow. Yes chlorine was measured with the FAS DPD test. I just added bleach per pool calculator instruction. I also orderd some CYA and it should be here Saturday. I guess I better to...
