Thank you all! Unfortunately its not flat enough to weigh it down. I spoke with a pool guy and he said fill the pool up until it is right at the top and put some of the flex tape or something like that on it so it will have additional pressure until it cures. I'm going to try it. Although, I...

We have a small tear on my top step. (Vinyl covered steps.) I am having some major issues trying to patch it because of the position and the fact that I can not keep pressure on it. We're looking at getting a new liner since this one is 9 years old but it could be a month or two before it...

Is there a way to uninstall the final app and go back to the beta and my history be there so I can back it up then upgrade again? I only had a couple weeks of info but it would be nice to have...

Mine Did it automatically and I lost everything... :( Is it possible to get it back? It is starting completely fresh wanting to add a new pool...

So... The 4 lbs I added yesterday is pretty much completely dissolved by this morning. I think it dissolved so fast that it made the pool a little hazy. (I think hanging it in front of the returns just pushed it out of the socks so fast that its not actually all dissolved yet.) But.. I did test...

I went ahead and added 4lbs of stabilizer in socks in front of the returns. I will test in a couple days to see where the stabilizer is then add what I need to get to ~70... Thanks you all for the help! I will let you know how it turns out.

And that is with the salt cell off...

I'm losing around 1 ppm chlorine in 15 min. Is that holding enough to go ahead and add the stabilizer? I bought the hth brand instead of the Clorox brand cya this time.

Thanks. I will try that.

I read some stuff about possible ammonia in the pool but wouldn't that show up as CC? The most CC I have had in the pool is .5 which is normal since our pool is very heavily used.

It was the Clorox brand from walmart.

Powder in a sock, hanging in front of a return. It dissolved in a couple days.

Sorry for the long post... I have NO CYA in my pool. About a month ago I put 8lbs in my 23000 gallon pool so I should have between 40 and 50 CYA maybe a little more. I am really thinking it should be around 60/70 as I think there was some in there when I added the 8lbs. Tonight when I tested...

I would go for it... As it gets dark you wont have to worry about the sunlight using up any of your chlorine...

WOW! I would have given up... I bet it made you feel good seeing that water going in... Congrats!

If it helps... My Z5 arrived yesterday. My pool had a little bit of dirt in the deep end but overall really clean. I could not believe how much the robot is picking up.. My pool looks GREAT! It doesn't seem to be missing anything! Glad I bought it. It is also super easy to clean the filters with...

I love my speedstir as well. I didn't buy one when I bought my test kit at the end of last summer but I added one to an order I made this year when ordering a test kit for my brother... I don't mind testing my water like I am supposed to now...

Well it doesn't hurt the bank considering running the VS Pump at 1000rpms is roughly 141watts which costs me about $7.80-$8.00 month to run for 20 hours per day with our electric rates. I also looked at turning up the speed a little bit and running it for shorter a shorter duration and when I...

I have a 23K pool with a VS pump and SWG. I have it set to run either 19-20 hrs at 1000RPM with the SWG running between 35%-40% according to how hot it is and it seems to be keeping up just fine. I have two skimmers and it is still skimming fine at the 1000RPMs. I do manually turn the pump up to...

Thanks for everyone reviewing the Oasis Z5... I ordered mine a couple days ago, it will be here next Tuesday... Just an FYI.. if you get it from epicpoolsupply.com it is currently $1199 and if you use coupon code "dolphin100" it will take another $100 off. I paid $1099 for it, didn't think...

I would call Intex. According to which model you have some of them have 2 year warranties. When we had our above ground the salt cell went out and they sent me another one. Then a month later the motor went out on the pump and they replaced that as well. All I had to do was send a copy of the...

I just noticed that google updated it's aerial map and caught my pool under construction... Pretty Cool!

Re: New Pool Build - TX (formerly Red Tape pool dream problem) WOW! Glad to see that you have a way to get your pool! Super excited for you! Keep us updated.

I would take the water somewhere to get it tested. Make sure they test for iron and other metals. We were going to do the same thing but there was so much iron in the water that it would have been a nightmare to get cleaned up. I was told it would turn the water brown when I added chlorine...

How are you liking the Triton? I was looking at one on Amazon and have been seriously considering it.

Nice job getting it dug out! I would have given up after the second wheel barrow of dirt....

Wow! Looking Great!

Thanks Everyone... The pool filled up in a little less than 18 hours... my pool builder came by this morning and turned on the pump and dumped all of the salt in the pool. We turned the VS pump on 2500RPMs. By time I took the pic below the pool was looking pretty good... I could not believe how...
