I understand .... i expect chlorine levels will need to be at least in the 1.5-2.0ppm. And yes i am in a situation where i have low use, a cooler climate and a high turnover in the water every year so minerals are somewhat flushed. Locally zodiac seems to have disappeared from the market and...

I misspoke .... I was typically running with cholerine levels between 1.5ppm and 2.0ppm

You can't really reuse them .... once the salt water gets to them u have one season's use, then they start to deteriorate. That's when you will get particles in the pool. I opened a few ..... mostly to get the top 2 inches of plastic cut off to use as a "blank" to put it back in place, and run...

I am interested to hear if anyone is running a ClearBlue Ionizer System ..... my Zodiac (~12 years old) is on its last legs (leaks) and given that i'm on my 3ird pump and 3ird pool heater in those 12 years I'm making a move to the ClearBlue. I have loved the SWG Zodiac but since my Pump and...

I use the Talyor K2005, easy to use. Seems accurate as compared to what my pool shop results are. They use Taylor regents as well, although I didn't buy it from them and they mark up the regents brutally .... so I buy direct, when replenishing. Maybe, choose your kit based on ease/cost of...

Yes, its probably the easiest of all to maintain. Maybe my kids and their friends (6-8 boys sometimes) splash out too much. Caught them one year using various floating lounges etc trying to imitate a tsunami .....lol. I usually need to add 2-4 large bags per summer to maintain. My CL generator...

Hi, Decided to bite on one of these (search on ebay for salt-3000) ..... seems to work OK, but I haven't confirmed readings yet with strips and my pool shops measurements. The strips cost $1.15 per test now locally tho results seem close (+/- 300ppm?, if fresh) compared with my shops results...

Re: Is lol .... the quote of the week. Yes, I got several sample packs with my pool install 4 or so years ago. And for the life of me couldn't determine the ingredients ... even after visiting their website. Added them then, but never have since. KC

I received a letter after our pool install 4 years ago that our Zodiac Duo Clear Salt system cell was not to be powered on, if the pump was off. So the pump and cell are on the same power line .... both either off or on. I believe the cell needs a certain amount of flow through it to cool it...

Ya, thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for, and at a decent price .... but they don't ship to Canada. KC

Hi Forum, Every year i seem to burn out one or two of these ..... are their drop in replacement LED bulbs for these very common, Halogen 12V, two screw lamps. I think my pool store charges ~$30 for one standard halogen PAR56???? I see a lot of those electronic multi-color LED PAR56 bulbs but...

Poolrite Stingray Automatic Pool Cleaner ..... anyone on this forum ever had one .... if so, what do you think of it. KC

As you can see in my signature i have the Zodiac Duo Clear 130 .... this is my third summer. Balancing has been a breeze in spite of the fact this is my first pool. I noticed after the first 1.5 seasons it was running hot to the touch ... a tech came over and found a screw was too long and...

It indicates "HPi" ... that's the company that makes/sells them .... not sure if there still around. Also related to Yard Guard products .... i have sent them an email. KC

I have these caps for the recessed posts but over the last 3 years some have broken or gone missing .... i can't remember where i got them and i need more. Anyone recognize these and know a brand name i can Google? Got a better suggestion? Thanks in advance. Kurt

Sure, you can borrow her any time .... but i must warn you .... Styrofoam Quail isn't as tasty. KC

Decided , coming into our third season, to open the pool myself this year .... it was as easy as i had hoped and will continue to do so in the upcoming years. I decided to document the process for my family so they could help, or do it in my absence, if required. Also had some help from the...

Re: zodiac duoclear preferred water chemistry readings I have a newer pool as well and am in Ontario .... i have decided to skip the mineral cartridge replacement this year (its second season) after reading up a bit on them. I just have left the old one in place. I have a 18x32 pool (62500...

These units have an unusual feature in that they have a replaceable cartridge that spits out small silver/copper particles allowing the chlorine levels to safely fall to .6ppm (so they claim). Probably the same technology available in several washing machines you may have heard about. I have...

....oops, a wee .......cover ! Well, the swimming season has ended for me this week and I'm going thru pool withdrawal. It has been a somewhat disappointing summer this year up here in the great white north (rain and cool weather). We can usually count on 4-6 weeks of 30 deg C temperatures but...

Here's the latest from this past weekend .... added a few solar lights, focused on rocks, for the evening hours.

SOD in !

Landscaping finally started ....

.... oops a wee rock Sorry but it looks as though my provider has switched my IP address as of last night or this morning .... the former IP was 12-18 months old i think. Must have had a few hits and my provider doesn't like anything that ties up bandwidth .... i believe they want a commercial...

Crud .... i forgot about that ...... sub in ................ (deleted) KC

I only considered the idea about a week ago after cruising through this Forum and another ....... a few have had them built in but most just rely on the usual circular Iron base. I did not have enough time to scare up some of the purpose built sockets ..... so i used these narrow profile metal...

That would have been nice but i don't think it was possible ..... the stamped and colored concrete has to be wet when the powder color is thrown on ..... and it was right up to pool edge. Unfortunately it was a high wind day as well, so it went everywhere. You then wash this powder off the next...
