    CYA test

    Hello! Thank you all so much for helping us become TFP wise! I have a question about testing. When doing the CYA test, the instructions say to read the test when the black dot “just” disappears.

    Flow problem?

    We haven’t cleaned it since the pool builder did it after they finished the concrete. Our gauge is still green so I didn’t think of it, but we’ll do it now, and test the water. By the way, does this gauge look right to you? Thank you!

    Flow problem?

    Hello! Thank you all so much for helping us learn all about our new pool. It was installed in January, and I have some questions about our equipment. I have a Hayward VSP. Typically it runs between 1600-2300 all the time. Even on 1600, it is enough to flow through the heater and the SWG...

    Smart Switch for lights

    Hello! Hello, Mikes61! I am ready to report back. So we did order this light from Amazon, D215S Decora Smart Switch, Wi-Fi 2nd Gen. It DOES need a neutral wire. It was easy to connect, and it works! From the Leviton app on my phone, I can power the lights off and on. Just like with the...

    Hello all! Our new pool came with three Hayward LED lights. They are connected to a switch that we manually flip to change the colors. I’d love to be able to do that from my phone. Is there a certain “smart switch” you recommend that would allow me to turn the lights on and off and change the...
