I am pretty diligent about keeping my pool clean, brushed, vacuumed, and balanced…but I still found what I believe are beetle larvae at the bottom of my shallow end where the pool jets are today (both sides but more so on the side closer to grass). I typically have a few beetles in the skimmer...

Ah, good to know, thank you!

Yes, I have a heater I was concerned that the calcium was too low and would start harming my concrete. Is 180 high enough? I have read I want it closer to 250 but that feels like a lot of chemicals to add to the pool. The highest we ever have it is maybe 85 degrees.

I have a vinyl liner pool and it has been raining in the north east on and off for days and will continue to do so. I need to add calcium. Can I do this while it is raining? This morning: FC 3.2 Alkalinity 70 Ph 7.4 (will keep rising due to rain I’m sure) Calcium 180 CYA 50 Salt 3000 About 23k...

Thank you. I always avoid spraying near the pool so it won’t impact the chemical balance in the pool but looks like I might have to rethink that.

Thank you! Definitely springtails.

I have these in my pool (see photo). I bought a better net attachment to get them off the surface and I’ve shocked the pool but they still show up regularly in my skimmer every morning. What are they and how do I get rid of them?

My Taylor kit doesn’t test for salt, I used a stick test.

I’ve seen a couple of posts that may address this but wanted to get advice on when to start adding salt to my pool. Vinyl liner, SWG (Hayward AquaRite), opened this week but the water is hovering between 50 and 60 degrees (around mid 50s). I turned on the SWG a couple of times and it’s flashing...

Thank you! Fortunately the lawn is only on two sides of the pool (other sides are rock landscaping) although I wouldn’t put it past anyone to spray across.

We have grubs in the lawn around our pool. Normally I don’t have the lawn inside the fence treated by the pool so that it doesn’t impact the pool chemistry but in order to save this lawn (which was new sod last year, so I really don’t want to have to replant a new lawn), it will have to be...

Yes, I was looking at polywood online site. It’s hard to tell what they look like in a real backyard. Good news is once it’s in place, there it will stay year round!

I have looked through here for a thread specific to Polywood couches but didn’t see one. I am interested in feedback on these/do you have one, which one, thoughts on colors/cushions? I have polywood Adirondack chairs, nautical chaises, and the side tables, but we’d like to get a couch, too. My...

And now I’ve spent more time with the box with pump on and off Pump on: 3200, 84, 25.7, (pic is not legible), 50p, -3300. Generating light is on. Pump off: 3200, 84, 31.4, 0, 0p, -0. Generating light is off. So it seems like the flow switch is working. My concern just remains that the...

Further, the AquaRite box has the Power and Remotely controlled lights on when the pump is off.

I just experimented and if I shut off the pump (which we don’t typically do, I run it 24/7 at a lower speed and just increase it when needed for heater), the chlorinator continues to report it is on but the pump is off. Since I have the OmniHub, I think my app display is always a little odd for...

No, it indicates the pump is off but not the chlorinator

I also have four more Adirondack chairs in navy and white and the side tables on another part of deck. The navy cushions get HOT! So something to keep in mind if ordering a dark color if you don’t have shade for them. I have tan seat cushions for the chairs but we never really use them. I leave...

Thank you. I think the issue is my OmniLogic App is communicating with an OmniHub, so the OmniHub for whatever reason doesn’t communicate the diagnostic info to the app nor does it allow me to turn the SWG on/off via schedule. I found another thread from last year where two people had the same...

The readings on the OmniLogic app now make sense to me given the OmniHub setup since it appears it was known that the full info is not available yet on the app, which we were told would have been resolved with the most recent upgrade but apparently not based on further reading. It looks like I...
