Roger that. Thanks!

This may seem like a silly question, but... My CYA Mixing Bottle label is crooked. Instructions say to fill with pool water to bottom of label, then add R-0013 to top of label. Since the label is crooked, it's a question of where is bottom, and where is top? Either way, what I'd really like to...

"Nothing". Ugh, that's not giving me the warm and fuzzies. That sounds great in theory, but after 17 winters, actually even before that, I had anchors stuck, and I don't consider myself incompetent. When I say "stuck", I don't mean irretrievably. I'm referring to the ones that are difficult...

Hello all, hoping for some advise. I have a 38x18 + ell pool, recently replaced concrete patio with pavers. The pavers are installed on RCA, not a concrete base. Now that fall is here, I need to install my winter safety cover, which means cover anchors. I bought the 9" anchor in pipe from the...

Haven't gotten any further responses on this, so I thought I'd chime in on some other info I found here. In this post Plumbing Configurations it looks like tees are being used in numerous locations with the "branch" as the inlet. I know those are only diagrams, but I don't see any other way to...

Hey all. In-ground pool, replacing the 18 year old 1-1/2" flex pipe, and liner, wanting to use 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe all around. I have a few questions, hoping a pool pro might help me out. 1. Skimmers are Hayward SP10851OM. According to the drawings, there are two outlets, one (rear) is...

So my REAL question (which kind of got lost in my original post) is about the use of a TEE. One installer says to use one tee for each pair of eyeballs, centered between them, with the main return water line going into the branch (bottom) connection of the tee, and then feed out to the two...

Like this? Seems like that will create quite an increase in head, almost five-fold if my calculations are anywhere near correct.

Hopefully this works. 1st one... 2nd one...

I've got a question about plumbing that I have not been able to find a direct answer to. Short story long, we are re-doing our pool patio after 18 years. Original was concrete with paver bullnose coping. New will be pavers with bluestone coping. Pool is 18' x 38' rectangle with an 8' ell, steps...

Are you needing assistance, or offering? LOL.

If you're getting rid of your old oil heater, I might be interested in it. Maybe we could work something out? I'm also on Long Island.

Yeah, this is a tough one. Thanks for the reply.

Joe, If you want to stick with an oil heater, I suppose it would help you utilize your current infrastructure. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be too many options. I'm in the same boat as you, found these guys. Thermo-Dynamics oil pool heaters I sent you a PM. Dan

Thank you.

What reel is that, anyway? I'm in the market for a new one, and that one looks kind of nice.

You could probably get a sandbag or two on there, but the real problem is that once a wind like you're talking about gets under the cover, a sandbag isn't going to stop it. That's why I did the wood thing. It actually worked pretty well; stopped the edge of the cover from being lifted in the...

Floatmaster, you made the right choice. Most importantly, with the pool being properly bonded, it will be safer than the same pool not bonded, whether it is required or not. As you said, safety first!

I've occasionally had similar issues in the past; found that a well-placed sandbag helps. Unsightly? I guess that's a personal preference. I've also been known to lay a clean piece of lumber (5/4" cedar decking works well; don't use composite, it will probably sink) across the edge of the cover...

Hi folks. Long time lurker here, finally joined a few days ago. I'm wondering if anyone out there, probably in the North East, has a working, or is familiar with, a Teledyne Laars XL-3 (DP3000) Oil Heater. I have one, and it's in sad shape. I'm looking to resurrect it, and could use some...

100% Cyanuric acid is 100% Cyanuric acid, so if it's there at HD, it should be fine. Again, I can't speak about the pricing; convenience is also a big deal to me. FYI, I've been using their PoolTime branded stuff, and no issues with it at all. pH Up (or Plus) has been 100% Sodium Carbonate...

Welcome, Labrashark. I just joined the site today, but I've owned my pool for over 15 years and have been lurking around here for a while, finally did the right thing. Anyway, for chlorine, maybe there is a Home Depot nearby? They sell HDX brand liquid chlorine at just over 3 bucks a gallon, 10%...
