Evening all! Yes, another "what pump should I buy" question! My 1HP single speed pump died. Initial reaction was to replace with something similar, however, I did some reading on the dual/variable speed pumps which has me intrigued. Location: FL 11,000 Gallon Pool 2 inlet jets / 1 skimmer /...

Morning! Our pebble remodel was completed at the end of June. Since then, I've been testing the water daily for pH and FC and a full panel weekly. Prior to the pebble remodel, I would utilize maybe a bottle of acid once a year. Since the remodel, I've gone through about 20 lbs of Baking Soda...

I was under the impression that our PB had transferred complete control of our remodel back to us for chemical balancing. I came home today with the following results: FC 1.5 CC 0.0 pH - Yellow TA - 0 (no green color) I pushed some baking soda to raise TA first since I'll see a bit of a raise...

Evening! Our family is looking to resurface our pool from marcite to PebbleTec/PebbleSheen. We've asked a few PebbleTec authorized retailers to come by and give us some quotes for resurfacing in addition to other items on the wish list. I wanted to run a few things by the group since this...

Somehow I ended up with a bit of cash and some broken pieces of equipment therefore leaving me with no cash and hopefully some newer, more durable pieces of equipment. I'm looking to purchase a new telescopic pole, brush, and skimmer basket. Pole: Looking at this on Amazon - Anodized...

When raising CYA, I know it's recommended to place a sock filled with stabilizer in the skimmer basket while operating. Would there be any harm in placing that sock inside an in-line chlorinator? Since moving to BBB, we don't use pucks unless we're on vacation. With all the rain we've had and...

Hi all. Now that Tropical Storm Debbie has wreaked havoc on what was a crystal clear pool, I noticed while draining due to overflow something unusual but something that I've suspected for some time. Attached are photos of what I think is the integrity of in ground pool compromised. I found 3...

I'm trying to label our pumping station so that it becomes a bit easier to diagnose later in the future if needed. Here's a few photos of the station. Overall Setup Jandy Valve Close up of inlets I have 2 questions with the setup which I believe are related. I can follow flow from pump to...

We currently have this channel running along our pool deck filled with rocks. What we've noticed is that it's fairly easy for weeds and other plant materials to grow from those rocks therefore requiring some regular Roundup / pulling treatment. I'm curious if anyone knows what we can do to...

Hi all! I took some photos of some cracks we're seeing on the pool deck. I'm not entirely sure what's the best way to take care of them. My dad wants me to get some cement type paint and seals the cracks in that fashion but I'm not sure if that's kosher. The goal is to fill in the cracks (if...

Happy Memorial Day folks! I'd love to be swimming in my pool, but there are a few reasons we can't, even though it's just been a brutally hot spring here in Florida (there's that tropical storm too but we've seen worse.) First, the setup for our family pool includes: Built in 1991 I believe...
