Thanks! ordered some vitamin C tablets this morning to give it a try. Funny enough we had some last week but my wife cleaned out the old meds.

Hi Fellow TFP'ers! I doubt anyone can identify this but I just noticed I have three or four marks like this at the vary bottom of my deep end. I can't scrubbed them out with a brush, but was able to remove most of the mark with a magic erasure sponge thing. Very odd marks, almost looks like a...

Btw due to wood prices we put this project on hold until at least next summer! I definitely would do the gas insert for sure. We decided to buy a hot tub (installed last week) and put a metal roof on our house. I could not justify the increase cost of what the project should be.

Hi Folks, I am thinking of add on a covered patio similar to this design but a bit longer, and making the end a solid wall to help with wind/privacy. I love the look for a real wood fireplace but since I am in the frozen tundra of Canada the amount of heat it will produce in the early...

Never thought about amazon.com. I know that our amazon.ca the prices are insane. Last time i checked they did not ship over the border from amazon.com for some of the solutions so checking again.

Hi Folks, I've bought two TFP test kits over the years and love the kits! I need a new kit as some of my chems are getting low. I am in Canada (i know my name would never give it away!)....so I can't get the kit shipped to my house as the pool test kits are not eligible to be shipped to Canada...

Sorry folks. You were all 100% right. it did heat up today, just didn't that warm coming out since it was so cold out. got in the traditional may 24 swim....we'll my son did and his friends. I was doing work on my truck installing new headlights and grill.

Thank you for the reply. It is definitely not producing heated water like it should! I am not sure what is wrong with it but hopefully still under warranty.

I am hoping to troubleshoot my heater. I noticed that the heater is running and the water coming out is not hot/warm. Usually you'd feel the water would feel warm at the jets but it just feels luke warm. I have the temp set to max and rebooted my omnilogic and the heater. It is a hayward 250...

There is a pool in this pic.....

I’m in Canada.... your good don’t worry lol here is mine....

As a fellow Canadian who is located near you I read this and was shaking my head going...."is his pool still open?" "is he thinking about the spring time and replacing it?"...then I just read your sig...indoor LOL. Good thing as that water would be hard to work in if it was outside right now! We...

About -10 our first snow ...global warming in affect!

Notice my PH was creeping up due to some rain we have been having. So grabbed what I thought was my PH down bottle....nope was my PH upper....argh. So now to lower it....made my pool cloudy too. Folks always read the labels. No alcohol was involved either. Not my finest pool moment....

I have the omnilogic system and i got so frustrated by the wifi option i went hardwired and have had great performance since. I'd get dropped signals and lost connections constantly with my dual band router which was so close. I'd get a 5 bar out of 5 bar signal at the omnilogic when i had my...

Re: Not Happy with our REALLY tall concrete deck. Thoughts? This thread is one of the reasons why I love this place so much. Such great advice and help.

Just and update....I did fix this issue. Was pretty simple the omnilogic had defaulted back to the standard flow rates of a minimum of 1500 rpm and I set it to 1100ish and the waterfall is back to normal! sweet.

This is pretty odd and no idea how to diagnose what the issue might be....so you'll see in my sig my full setup...omnilogic, vs tristar pump...etc. So I've noticed this year on the lowest setting on the omnilogic either at low or at custom setting for pump speed that the volume of water that...

Thanks for posting these. I am going to check them out they seem like good ways to hide it. I noticed that today with the rain (such weird weather in Canada) that the chips don't look bad when there wet/coloured by the water. But some spots do look off due to the aggregate you can see exposed.

I can see why you're family has been in business this long. Even on the net you're providing excellent service.

Thanks Pyrodav for all the advice! Much appreciated. To be fair I have no idea if it is the release or colour hardener. I know it was a powder they put on after the concrete was poured.

Here was the powder application... - - - Updated - - - Thanks! I should do this in the spring or now? It is -5 here. I will need the contractor to give me the colour too as I want it to match. - - - Updated - - - This all makes me feel better :-)

Thanks for the quick replies! It was a powder they put on after to get the colour. It is pretty deep at some points where it is has chipped out too. boo.

I should add every anchor looks like this....

To say that I am impressed would be an understatement.... you can see my full build here in the thread. New Build Ontario Canada Was just outside and saw this. I hope this is an easy fix. To be fair we have had three freezings and thaws in the past month so rare for my area.

Did you swim?! Very brave! My pool is still open but no way I'm swimming at 52 which it is. Safely cover goes on next week.

I have Hayward colourlogic LED lights and love them. They're very bright and like changing the colours. Only had them 3 months so can't comment on long term.

Thought an update was in order...the pool is functioning well. I still have a few things with my contractor that need resolved such as a temp sensor that definitely had a cold solder joint as it sometimes provides some wonky readings. I'll do an entire new thread about the omnilogic system as a...
