    My Pool Cooler Build - Share your results

    In just a day of use we noticed a HUGE difference in the pool temperature. I don't trust the temp readouts and I was adding a bit of well water but it was actually refreshing to swim today! Glad I took the time to throw it together!

    Trying to get our water down below the 90's here in PA, ugh, hope this works. I am trying a vertical tower design right now but I could cut it down and put the T in and do horizontal if I want I guess, less cutting this way :) Had trouble finding the 1.5" down to something reasonable reducers...

    Clogged Polaris 360 wwll filter

    I took mine out, shouldn't need it with a 360 as far as clogging goes... It should shoot right into the bag in most cases. Other models might have smaller jets which may clog.

    Considering a robot to replace Polaris 360...

    We currently have a Polaris 360 in our pool which is a long lap pool, about 45 feet long, ~11-12' wide with a separate spa on the end that is an additional 5' or so but walled off with a full width overflow. I've run our cleaner but it tends to get stuck in the corners a lot and I have to...

    Trying Caltreat...

    Don't think it went well. I started at 820 and now I'm at 1200ish. I followed the directions brushing daily and keeping the pH high. I'm going to ignore it this season and may do a full drain/acid wash at closing and start fresh with delivered water next season. $250/truckload up to 6k...

    Trying Caltreat...

    Ya right after I posted that I decided I really need to get the CYA up so added 8 lbs... Will re-test things in the morning...will probably need to add a bunch more borax to get the pH high again for the Caltreat.

    Trying Caltreat...

    I tested our CH and came up with 820 or so...really did not want to do a drain/refill so we are trying the Caltreat treatment. However, my CYA is 0...So... should I just proceed and not worry about CYA for now and address it after the caltreat thing is done (~5 days) or should I get the...
