I suppose if I go to Maytronics directly they have it, but Amazon doesn't. Amazon has everything. :)

I'm trying to find an s300i at amazon and elsewhere, but they don't seem to be found anymore. Has this unit been rebranded or remodeled?

Jason, if you were a first time borates adder like me, which method would you recommend? The boric acid route or the borax and MA route? Both seem very similar in price.

It was super quick and simple to replace. I certainly got lucky on that find. The funny thing is, the pump sounds quieter this year.

I agree, sounds like I shouldn't care much. :) I have got to ask, just in case I am missing something. Thanks fellas.

The AquaRite manual wants there to be calcium in the water. I am not sure if this is just general pool thinking like Leslie's will tell you. If the AquaRite really needs it, I would like to know since I just switched to an AquaRite SWG. Do we really need the calcium up to their recommended...

Pat, thanks. I found several places that had this online, but had no way to tell if they are reputable. Luckily a local pool store that I deal with, has a used housing and is getting it to me for cheap.

Hello All, My whole pump with housing has the model number: 1UMF-S It's a Jacuzzi Magnum Force. Just the strainer housing is cracked. Is there a good website or any pool part dealers that are members of this site that can help?

I have a TF-100 already, and a K-1766 Taylor Salt test kit and borates test strips coming in the mail. The my own testing hasn't been done yet since it got done filling at 10PM last night and I've been at work today. It makes sense to merge the two. Thanks again.

Re: New Water and Liner and New Water Numbers I merged your threads to keep your story together. This makes it easier for the frequent responders to keep people straight and provide help. jblizzle I'm the guy that posted yesterday about getting the 22lbs of CYA in my pool as soon as I can. :)...

New Water and Liner and New Water Numbers Hello All, As the title suggests, I have a brand spanking new liner and virgin water. Water just got done filling at 10PM last night. I have not gotten to do my own water testing, but my wife just got back from Leslie's and here are the results of my...

So true on the over estimation thing. This is my first virgin water expedition in the the pool. I am going to start with before and after number, when I add half of each chemical. With those numbers I should be able to calculate how many gallons I have with a small amount of error. I have always...

You guys are awesome and quick. Thank the both of you for being such a wonderful reference for the non-pool professionals like myself. I will not be trying to do all 22lbs at the same time. :) Okay, I am going to get at least one skimmer sock. I have two skimmers, is getting two skimmer socks...

Hello All, I have searched and found multiple threads for adding CYA. My new liner was finished up yesterday. Pool should be done filling tonight. I will test the water to be certain what amount of each chemical I will need before adding anything. Knowing this water is tap water, I am assuming...

What would you use to drain the pool? I have 2 levels in my yard. The pool is on the higher side. I will pump from the higher to the lower. Just don't know what to use. I assume a rental pump would work.

The water table shouldn't be the issue. The issue is how long this pool has been leaking and how much rain we have gotten.

I am planning on paying someone to do this. I have no idea what I am doing.

All, My pool liner is in need of replacing. I want to drain the pool, but the ground is really wet and saturated around the pool. Can I just simply drain the pool and ignore how much water is in the ground around the pool? Also, what type of pump should I use to drain this thing?

Ha, I am new to the site and I am running into this very same issue right now. In fact, I am feeling exactly like the animation. ;)

I agree with your suggestion about manual addition. Even if I were to go the pump route, I would read about it until I was blue in the face before I ever purchased anything. It will be months before I do that. :)

Rambler, thank you. This forum does seem to be quite awesome. The TF-100 test kit is already in the mail from TFTestkits. I got my tracking numbers in email on Friday. :) I am very excited to get this BBB method working. Somethings I am getting my head around at the moment. I see some people...

Rambler, I can't seem to find the right search criteria to find info for my next question. Since will will be replacing all of my water with a new liner replacement, I will need to know in what order to get my water balanced. I have read all the basic stuff on this forum. I can't find a sticky...

Thanks, sounds easy enough. However, if it can be screwed up, I sure can find a way to do it. ;)

Sorry, still new to site, I just updated my sig. 20'x40' IG vinyl liner, chlorine pool with sand filter. When asking around, is there anything blatant I should steer away from?

As you can read from the subject line, I need a recommendation for a pool/liner installer in north Alabama. If not, I will just call around. Thanks for any input.

Re: Testkit Taylor k-2006 vs. k-2006C vs. TF-100 (bottles, O Brilliant, thanks. Absolutely loving the site.

Re: Testkit Taylor k-2006 vs. k-2006C vs. TF-100 (bottles, O New to site, who is this Dave we can order from?

Do they make pucks for chlorination that don't have the stabilizer built in? If not, why would anyone want the feeder in the first place? Seems like it would only get you into trouble with CYA levels.

Awesome, thanks Richard. I am going to love this site.

I guess I am looking for ease of use to the pool. I coach two rec soccer teams and a club (travel) soccer team. We, the family, are traveling quite often. I am looking for a good balance of ease of use and cost. So before I install my 320 for pucks, I have been reading about the Liquidator...
