    New to pool water testing/plaster question

    I’m having trouble finding the info on recommended test kits. I thought I saw a recommendation for a TF-100 or a Taylor K-2006. Maybe it was on another site. Any specific test kit recommendations?

    New to pool water testing/plaster question

    Hello all! Not sure if I’m posting in the correct thread. My plaster is about a month old and I’m seeing some “blotchy” spots. We used Radiant Fusion to plaster the pool. The plaster guy is telling me it’s a water issue and to add Muriatic acid. As far as I know, the water is balanced but...

    Pentair Heat Pump

    Just wanted to post an update in case anyone comes across a similar issue. The thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) was replaced and now we’re back up and running!

    Pentair Heat Pump

    Ok. The HVAC service makes sense then. Something to rule out

    Pentair Heat Pump

    We’ve been trying to reach out to Pentair and they’re supposed to send out an HVAC guy to look at it. Does that make sense?

    Pentair Heat Pump

    No, the VS pump is at 2800. Should we try running it at a higher rate? 3000+? The 1800 is what the DE filter is currently reading. Yes, the HP clears the wall by about 10 inches. Should we run the pump above 2800? Any potential risks to doing that?

    Pentair Heat Pump

    Hi! Yes, we have a VS pump. We have a Pentair DE 60 gallon filter. The pressure is at 1800. Variable speed for the spa is set at 2800. Not sure about the heater bypass valve.

    Pentair Heat Pump

    We just finished our pool build which includes a Pentair Heat Pump. It worked beautifully the first day but now we keep getting an error message that reads “alarm prior # 1 high refrig.” We called Pentair and are not getting anywhere. Anyone here experienced this or can advise me what type of...

    Spa tile

    The tile around my spa went in today. I’m doing a pool owner build. I love how it looks but just got told by another contractor that this much tile under water is bad. Does anyone here have a ton of tile under water? Can you share your experience? My tile guy said he put a layer of...

    Spa tile

    Does anyone know the correct product that should go behind the waterline tile for waterproofing? My guys says this is the stuff and also used it behind the tile on the front of my spa.

    Waterproofing

    That makes sense @Desert Dog. I’m thinking that the stuff he wants to put on my shell is not the right product but might be ok at waterline tile.
