Helping in laws with their new house that has a de filter. It’s a nautilus fns 36. We ordered a complete grid assembly from amazon. The kicker is the grids inside were 24” making it 48sq ft. Are the grids suppose to sit on bottom? The 36 ones we bought are sitting off the bottom due to the...

So we have a pool with a rolled beam at the top. This has caused the pebble at the waterline to crack in several places. Anyone in Phoenix have any recommendations on someone who can chip out old pebble, put new waterline tile and remove the rolled beam. So far I have received two bids and...

I was swimming yesterday and noticed that at the bottoms of our rock waterfall there was a little algae. Now this part of the rock is out of water but water movement makes it touch. Water looks perfect will do an overnight test tonight to see but these were my numbers around 5pm FC 5.5 Ta 80...

So my wife wants to have out water softener hooked back up ( brought it over from out last house). My question is what kind of effect will this have on my pool? The softener can use potassium or salt but we always used potassium. At the old house we did not have an auto fill so I would shut...

So I recently added a circupool 45+ and was wondering is it better to run the pump longer with a lower % swg setting or shorter run time and higher? This is in regards to prolonging cell life I currently run it at 30% from 2am-11am and these were my numbers that I tested around 6pm yesterday...

Swg is a circupool Was thinking of a vertical build like the kit they sell but wondering if I can get some other opinions Couldn't find any unions in sch 40 at the box stores but thought about adding them at the end of the pipe just in case if I ever need to remove the swg I can just get a...

Here are my tests using tf100. I am installing a swg and started doing a partial drain in my pool a week ago (20%). I did a cya extended test and still had around 180. This time remove about 80% and here are my results Tc 3 FC 3.5 Ph 7.2 (was 8.0 last night before acid) Ta 150 (was 180 last...

So I believe I have narrowed down my decision to one of these two systems. The price of the systems are within my budget. The hayward is a name brand but only has a 3 year warranty. The circupool has a 7 year pro rated warranty (not sure how it's pro rated ) and can get the 40k cell for price...

is there something that I need to change in tapatalk I am only getting very few forums and when I click on some of them it says no topics exist

so was out testing my water and decided to check my cya (tf100) since I had not done it in a while. I was a pretty upset that the level was well over 100. I had just done a drain/fill maybe 1.5 years ago and had it around 60. Of course I have been using pucks and forgot how much they add...

Was getting a bit off topic on my last post so here goes I recently installed 4 new pleatco filters and after doing so I have 8psi on my filter. When I open up the return to turn the waterfall on it drops down to 2psi. I have never replaced the filters before so don't know what the psi should...

So I need to get new filters. I cleaned them and after a week pressure was back up and suction is down on my cleaner (mx8). I have been putting this off since I bought the house 3 years ago and now pretty much all the bands are broken. Is there certain brand or type to stay away from or get...

I replumbed my pad last year and appears I have a leak, well two now. One at the elbow after the pump going to the filter (probably not enough glue). And the second one appears to be coming from the threaded insert that goes in the pump. I used dope on it last year and wondering what could be...

I was cleaning my filters today and decided to throw some lube on the pumps drain plug. After doing do I overtightened it and it snapped off with the plug inside the threads :hammer: Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging the threads?

Reading another thread got me curious to see where everyone keeps their test kit. I keep my tf100 in the pantry :party:

I recently bought the sony strdn1030 at costco but now that I am looking at it closer not sure if it does what I need it to. I need a receiver that can support 5.1 for my great room and also 2 speakers in my backyard (100ft wire run for each speaker if it matters). I would like to be able to...

So last year I ordered the tf 100 test kit. I need to order more of the R6 and 14 that chemicals that are in the blue case (also the ones for TA but see those on the site) but do not see them on the site. Do I just have to order a whole new kit? My neighbor who just moved out and is having the...

Hi Guys, I cleaned my filters yesterday and at start up psi was around 8-10. After a couple of hours I noticed the PSI was already up to 20. Now I do not know how old these filters are since they have been here since I bought the house (2 years this august). Second some of the bands on...

So I have been battling extremely high cya . I had 3 stores (2 of same one) test it and two of the stores said I had 99 but they only test to that but the other one not a big chain store tested it at 151. I moved into the house 2 years ago this august and not sure if pool had ever been...

over the last couple weeks we have have had a growing number of bees clinging to to the water level (rolled pebble edge). My house backs up to a canal and then its just state land (desert mountains). I have been working with the company in charge of the canal and they hired a bee person to...

So I have a 3 way diverter valve going to my pump and a second on the return side. The Gaskets are worn out and I can not find a replacement for them. I have a waterco valve and a caretaker valve. The valves are the older style that the handle is riveted on so you can not just remove the...

Anyone know what kind of paint or materials to use when refinishing some faux rocks that I have around my pool and what our waterfall is made of. Or is it better just to hire someone to do it? Here are the pics I uploaded

So we bought our house in middle of the summer last year. We have been getting it to the shape and potential that we want to have. The deck is chipping flaking etc. We got an estimate for some granite looking stamped decking for around the pool and our patio. It would look something similar...
