Wow, 94K gal pool...how do you sanitize your pool? Either way, I would recommend having a separate breaker for all VSP's. I would also highly recommend a Surge Protector in your pool panel. If that panel is full, you can add one to your house panel that feeds the breaker that powers your pool...

Call Sq D tech support. If their panel states Siemens compatibility, then let them trouble shoot it. I have a Hywd automation panel and have successfully fitted both SQ D & Siemens DP 20amp GFCI breakers. The SQ D has a 5mA max rating while the seimens has a 6mA rating. That extra 1mA seems...

Golf, contact tech support again at pool parts and ask them for other clients w the same configuration as yours that's working fine. See if you are able to compare notes/pics/etc to ascertain of there are any differences? What would be ideal is if you could find a pump just like yours that's...

I'd rather be smart for free...but I have all daughters and will never be invoice free ;-]

Thanks again for everyone's comments, suggestions and feedback. I changed email providers and they are tough on allowing forum message notices, even though I have "provided safe domain notes" in my junk folder. Just now seeing these comments.... From the board, I learned that MA is pretty...

Yes, when I pour out my MA, it's always clear.

Never added a borate, or anything else except CL, M-Acid & baking soda. Obtain my CYA via periodical pucks.

always 31.45 Maybe I might buy from another place and see what happens Pat, glad you are not experiencing any major delta's I never measure my acid additions. I just stand at one end of the pool and pour for 2-4 sec's pretty much the same every time. Always make sure when I pour, I am...

Hello to all, Not sure if this is just a local issue [Houston/Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery counties] or more widespread, but was trying to discern if any of you in these areas have experienced weaker or less effective Muriatic Acid? My TA is always in the 50-60 range. It seems like in the...

I was just informed that the dial/o-ring is not removable by manufacturer so I would have to replace the whole thing...what kind of xxxp is that? Might have to speed up the SWG sooner than I thought....

Thanks James - I was but bc I am going to have to redo the equipment pad now and need shoulder surgery,, I wanted to wait until the temps are cooler and I'm fully ab le to do so...so for now, I want to plug this leak...thank you AND PS James - you have a very good memory !! ;-)

Here’s the other 2 pics..due to size, having to split btw 2 diff posts/ thank you

Hello to All, I use the puck feeder only to add CYA as needed and a break from periodically pour CL. I called CMP technical support but they didn’t even know their product. The dial that determines the flow rate (CW fully open, CCW, Closed) is dripping when it’s moved CW to dispense. If i...

I’m trying to determine if pool is 90-95, the air is 102-104, how is going to cool going from 90 to 104?

Anything over 83-84, I might as well take a bath....75-80 is my range...it doesn't take long to get acclimated to 75 degree water...but going in temp's over 85, it is virtually. at least to me, like taking a mild bath.... Thanks for everyone's comments

Chillers, cost-effectively, work when you want to keep 85 degree temps to 80ish. But when water temps are 92-95, it would be running all the time which is not what it's made for or built to do...the best way to cool off is backflow about 1/3 of 800 gal spa, add 4-5 home depot 5 gal buckets of...

Great info Mdrag...really appreciate it... our pool runs S-N and winds are predominately from the S, so a winds sail might end up sailing...we had a microburst 2-3 weeks ago with 75MPH...there were pool tools in my yard from 3 houses N of me...m-burst came from the NNW...I am going to build a...

Our temps are going to be even more off the chart next week, but it's already crazy now. However, I heard Las Vegas is going to be 117-118 next week. We will get to 106-7 next week, but our humidity starts at 85-90%. The heat index was 120 degrees at 103 with 78% humidity... Marty, what type...

Thank you to all...bucket test shows same evap rates....w the winds higher than normal and highs again this week of 101-103, it's just blowing away...the water is getting into the 90's in the aftn too. Can't wait until fall, but have a looooog way to go !

Anyone else in TX that has been impacted by the heat and winds of the high pressure cell experiencing rapid water level drops? Filled the pool up to the drain line and w/in 2 days, looks like it has dropped an inch+. Haven't done the bucket test yet. Our pools longer length runs N-S w...

than bp and marty....I might just buy a 25lb bucket and go w name brand..the 50lb bucket I have is prob at least 3+ yrs old...as I stated, only going for the CYA and a temp bleach pouring relief

Hello to all, Hope everyone and your families are all doing well. I've always kept a stash of 3" pucks for the sole purpose of CYA addition, and the added plus of not having to add CL for a short period of time, esp if I am traveling. Like everything else, what used to be $145 for 50lbs is...

That i will indeed try if all else fails. Since both sides of a natural stone can be used, i can still use it later if only one side is marred

Yes James...I made sure I got extra tile types of every stone we had installed, and from the same lot...I always test on those stones first, but since I keep them inside the garage covered, there's no stain or similar on them...the drainage it pretty good, but hard to do anything that will...

Thanks for clarification. I do not think ours is oil from sunscreen or similar. But with all the freezes we have had over the last 2-3 yrs that have either killed or stunned the palms, my nbor back of me has 5 very tall mexican palms..when the chainsaws start up, I've seen a huge oil sheen on...

Thank you James and WJ. WJ, I have underlined a comment you made. When you stated "helps", I am gathering it does not completely remove, but lightens it. Can you pls provide to what % it "helps". It is barely noticeable or other? Yeah, I am not using acid....it will effectively etch it...
