Do you have a variable speed pump? I had a duh moment when I was complaining about the pump not heating that fast then my one 9 year old said dad doesn’t the pump slow down later in the day. I run it at 1800 from 4pm to 7am. While enough to run the heater the water was just not moving at an...

I have a medium blue liner and my chlorine for two years was around 6-8. I figured it was easier to keep the swg setting the same as I travel a lot for work then risk the chlorine dropping too low. Liner still looks new. This year with less travel I have it at around 4. I think the sun does more...

Thank you

Just to comment on your pool mfg. the town will have your building permits and they should have information on the pool builder if not the manufacturer itself. All you need to provide is your address to the construction department. If they only have the builder it is a starting place to call.

Thank you.

No water features.

It was to early when I typed. 50 and 60 not 55 and 60. Vinyl Liner pool. Salt water chlorination.

I used a scoop (extra one from chicken feeder) and put in 55 pounds. Most of it dissolved quickly. I put in the deep end walking around the back edge.

I tested my water using the Taylor test kit. I must have accidentally added an extra drop in the TA test as I thought my TA was 66 and twice now I tested it at 55. When I thought I had it at 66 I added the Boric Acid. Pool now sits at PH 7.4, FC 5, TA 55, CYA 40 (will increase in a couple...

I put boric acid in on Friday from Duda55lbs and 28k pool, FC was 7, TA 66, PH 7.4. It went in and I brushed it to I could not see anymore white granular clumps on the floor. It was similar to when I add salt with the cloud it kicked up. I then left for a work trip retuning tonight. I looked...

We have a dolphin and liner and never had an issue. If you had the dolphin that long I don't see why it would suddenly have an issue. I do agree on it getting hung up. Our dolphin gets hung up at times on the bottom drain.

We looked at the arm rests and opted not to have them. It was too restrictive and the rests were too low to be useful. So it wasn't worth the cost. We found the best price/ delivery on wayfair.

Thanks. They are only a few inches below the water line. I’ll shut the power off.

Same size cover, but free form. Paid just shy of 5K for a Dover cover installed. The install was not great as they did not core drill and in hindsight I should have used someone else to install. I used mesh because the solid cover is like 700 pounds for my pool.

First year with a pool. Our liner is too big so we can't drain it too far. As a result, we can't drain below the Treo LED lights. The builder installed them after the pool was filled with water. I went to pull the lights and the connection is not coming out and the line is tight so I think...

We used to leave a pump on the cover. Then turn it on with puddles. It worked, but we still had to pull it back. Became a pain so we did a safety cover.

I. NJ. We are. Kids were in today. We have a heat pump. Temp is 84.

The calculator is awesome as a guide. It gave me a good starting point. I ended up lower than it said I needed to be to get the FC level I wanted. But finding out was much faster with the calculator.

We are almost finished with our build. We used a large builder and paid more as I wanted someone with experience. The process was tough— constant chasing, showing up when not expected, etc.. we never saw the builder here except the first day when he told me we had to pay more for a drywell we...

Thanks. It was early and I meant Total not combined. I thought the OTO also had to be .5 and that was killing me. The CC is .5 just tested again. Had I put that number in I would have caught myself earlier and avoided all of you the trouble. I am guessing I can let the FC fall back to normal...

Sorry. I have been saying combined. I meant Total Chlorine. Using 5 drops r 600 in the TF 100 I get a dark orange.

I thought I was doing the test wrong too. But my neighbors who use the TF100 for a while ran the tests and confirmed the results and were just as puzzled as I am. Neither of us can understand why it is almost orange in color when doing the CC and FC for 5 days has been at slam level or higher...

One other thing. I am also passing the FC and clear part of slam. Making this even more confusing.

Hi all, I have insanely high combined chlorine and it seems the more FC I add the higher it goes. I have a new pool that was green two weeks ago. I had a slightly green pool before the PB started the system (vinyl). For 1.5 weeks now I have been slamming testing every 2 hours except at after 9...

Thanks everyone. This is the first time my wife is fine and I am not. Lol. She is tired of the builders and wants to be done. I just didn’t want to spend 60k on a pool and then another 5k and deal with a liner repair place in another 3 years. Glad to know wrinkles aren’t something that will...

We're in the process of concluding our pool build and we noticed a large wrinkle off the top step and onto our sundeck. An 1/8 to 1/4 high and 8-10" long. My wife has told me to deal with it as it isn't noticeable and she does not want to deal with any more construction. My father in law said...

Thank you.

We are building a pool. The Poolbuilder uses a skimmer SP10841OM, but it is round and appears to be for a 1.5" pipe fitting. This skimmer is not available anywhere it seems. I spoke with a hayward distributor who helped me in the past with my old pool. They told me that if I did not care if...

I just saw this. I am in NJ and was told the same thing this afternoon by my builder.
