    CYA Confusion

    I'm having a hard time with a CYA issue. I think the PB overstabilized the pool before starting up my SWG about a week ago and now the CYA level is off the chart. The TF test kit won't measure it, so I got a Taylor strip test and it reports close to the 150 range. I know it should be down to...

    Programming the SunTouch

    I have a pretty simple pool: it has lights and a water feature. No solar, no heater, no spa. I have a 4x160 and the Intellichlor. I am trying to program the SunTouch to operate the lights and water feature along with the pump. I have The Pool Cleaner suction cleaner as well. If anyone has any...

    Getting bids, need some reviews

    I've been researching some things and was hoping to get more input for the pool that my wife and I are getting bids for. First question is about the Hayward Phantom. One PB was big on it, but he also said that he can get the Polaris 280 for us as well. Is the Phantom a better cleaner than the...

    Thanks for having me!

    This process of building a pool is so overwhelming that I'm thankful this site exists. I've been lurking for some time, and register a couple of days ago. My wife and I are in the process of getting bids for our first pool. Living in the middle of California (inland, mind you) is too much...
