I called the Pentair dude (actually the PB called) and as soon as I started talking, he said he would be over with new filters. He said that the filters in the last year or so, have been garbage. He replaced them the next day. I was surprised, no argument, no explanation, it was actually...

Umm...The TFP method id for you to accurately test the pool yourself. The pools stores are not accurate as well. I felt the same as you did, until I tried the TFP method and always have the same accuracy because I am utilizing a standard method every time. I have tried test strips, and if you...

Welcome! Sounds like you didnt keep up with the FC on the SLAM. The reason it has to be high, is too kill ALL the Algae. If it came back you never back..

Welcome! If you have read the pool school documents? The 1st thing you are going to be asked is to get yourself a proper test kit (TFT100, K2006, and a salt tester). the test strips are not accurate (or reliable enough) for the TFP pool management. Hope this helps! Curt

I live in North Vegas I I get Walmart chlorine for $4.63 per gallon, and no expired. How much do you guys get yours for? Wondering if its worth the drive? Well, not really probably cost an arm and a leg to get there to save a couple fingers... Curt

Hi, Who can I contact to remove some of my old userids? I just checked and I actually have 3 userids and only need one. Can I post the userids here or a personal message? Thanks

Nope pool cover needed for me and I live in North Vegas. If the PB knew in ordered to pass inspection he would have quoted the price of a cover in the beginning. I had to build up my wall by 1 row, and the gate had to be childproofed, and all that was in the original quote. I got it all for free.

Got a good phone number?? My PB is supposed to come out next week to inspect, seeing it was the 1st time I was cleaning filters...his company did all the assembly and filter clean after the 30 day startup!

Thanks a bunch!! I'm starting to get dangerous!!! At least thats what the wife is saying...stop tinkering and jump in the pool!

I was thinking the same. When the pool builder first setup the spa/pool valve, he took off the handle and then moved the valve (with the 1 or 2 switch), and when he got it to the "proper" spillway, he locked something mechanical inside the valve. So when the valve rotates to pool, the valve...

That's exactly what my pool is setup for. When the pool is in spa the valve is sitting at about 1/8 open just to allow the water to circulate from the spa to the pool. you can adjust as little or as much spillway be adjusting the valve. ( I got to figure out how to rig that valve so I can slow...

Finally got some photos off my phone...same damage as the OP. I was thinking the top of the manifold was rubbing, but am thinking was it possible that the cartridges were not put tightly in the bottom mounts? I would think the cartridge's would settle in. Like I said in my earlier post, I...

Hahahahaha...so true...the wifey was saying they are so cute maybe we could keep them...I was like you can do what you want, but your jumping in the pool to clean all the poop! She shooed them away....I just showed her your picture....she mumbled something but wouldn't repeat it...guess no...

Not sure if this is the right place....I walked out onto my deck and saw these ducks hanging out in my pool. I am over 20 miles from any water, and there are like 5 pools in my area....Luck or curse??? Thought I would share!@ Curt

Following this thread. My cartridges are 1 year old as well. My cartridges look exactly the same...like someone said I think the top cover was sitting on the cartridges. I turned them around, and will se next time I pull the top off. Please post if you get in touch for warranty! Curt

Hi, I am trying to see if I can change the attached pictured return jet to the adjustable eyeball. The current jets are not adjustable (I actually had the whole inside mecahnism drop in my hand while trying to adjust. I need to get the "special spanner screwdriver" or aC clamp pliers to screw...

Can you show a picture of the "built-in" clock? I'm betting its a timer and that's how you would turn it on and off...

Of course it works now...loolol I guess I cant see it when I am typing the thread...too funny!

please see attached, it is my signature I just updated, and I am trying to see if the signature shows up on a thread. If not any suggestions??

That was from Pool math app...the only recommendation it gave was to add the 17 oz of stabilizer (why cant they just call the stabilizer chlorine?).. Would that be enough for a 10K inground? Trying to make sense of the CYA/FC. When read the chart it says I should be in the 5-7 PPM range, and...

Hi, NewDude stated in the post above, "At closing I would give them a good soak/bath and the downtime didnt matter. They were good as new to start the spring.". What is a good soaking agent? I was thinking is Simple Green bad for the filters? If so, then what is the recommendation? Curt
