S300 on the way from Marina. By far the cheapest around. I tried an older S300 Demo unit from the local pool store and it worked surprisingly well. Without the "swivel" cord tangles were minimal. I expect the swivel function will be that much better. Unfortunately they couldn't come close to...

I'll try and scoop as much as possible off the cover first. I can put a hose under cover and add water. I actually started doing that and noticed since the cover is so low at this point all the water I was adding was just running through the holes in the cover to the top. Not what I was...

Thanks Allen.. sounds like the only solution. I was hoping there would be a "trick" someone had so all these leaves wouldn't have to fall in!

Hi everyone. Still rather cold here in the northeast, but looking for some help while my pool is still closed. Quick back story, Closed pool for the winter back in October and all was well until my cover pump died. I ended up buying a "better" more powerful pump for my cover. I did reuse my tarp...

I'm right down the road from you in Jackson. Few folks on here from the area that are very helpful. Had above ground pools my entire life until we built our inground last fall. First year with the TFP kit and crystal clear water all season with minimal effort (I do have a swg though). Let me...

Thanks Jason. I ended up massaging to finally get it all to dissolve. understood on the draining of the water. Would you recommend just draining to waste at this point? I just finished dissolving the CYA yesterday afternoon.

Just wanted to update with my new numbers as of last night... coming along. Need to up my CYA a bit more (what a pain waiting for all of it to dissolve). Thanks for all the help so far! FC= 6.5 CC= 0 TA= 70 CYA= 30 PH= 7.5 Quick question, Rained pretty heavy few days ago and pool water is...

I didn't... i just re-read it and must have misread it the first time. I thought the CYA and lowering the PH was the same thing and i only lowered the PH. Time to add some stabilizer... thanks for pointing me back up.

I'm back... been doing OK, but having CYA issues is seems. Here are my test results from this morning: FC= 2.5 CC=0 TA= 70 CYA= Filled tube and still saw black dot clearly PH= 7.8 I know i need my FC slightly higher, but what would be the best way to correct the CYA issue? I'm not sure if i...

Great thanks. 21" I'm assuming? Install from inside basket and wrap elastic around to outside? Sorry newbie questions. Lol

Are these what you guys are using? 3M Disposable Hair Net 407, Spunbond Polypropylene, Universal, White (Case of 100) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFEDLBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_B619Ab6A7RJYQ

10-4... Thanks yet again

The blue kit within the TF-100 has PH.

Water is currently clear. Will perform OCLT tonight and report back. Should I hold off on adding stabilizer overnight tonight while performing the OCLT? Steps say check FC 30 minutes after adding any chemicals. Not sure if stabilizer is included in this or if it just means chlorine chemicals...

Great. Stabilizer into the sock shortly. Thanks. Should I keep my FC's high at SLAM levels while the cya is doing its thing or let the FC's level off? Also, should I keep my swg off at this point or turn her back on? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the input. I did start reading pool school, just a lot to absorb in a short time and didn't want my pool turning green. Lol So added what pool math told me (Walmart 6% bleach) and retested after 30 minutes. Here are my results. FC= 11 CC = 0 PH= 8.2

Hey Everyone, Had my pool built late last year and didn't have a chance to use it before she was closed for the winter. Finally opened her up a few days ago with TF-100 kit in hand. Great and thorough kit, wanted to run my numbers past you guys and see what you think. FC=1 CC=1.5 CH=75 TA=70...

I had an intex ultra frame up for 4 years. Kept it full. Just winterized it and covered it at the end of the season. Brought the pump into my garage for the winter. Never had an issue with the NJ winters. Only reason I took it down last year was to have my inground pool built.

I'm in nj too and they just finished my pool. I'm not worried as the cold is not significant enough to freeze yet and damage pipes. Should be fine for the next few weeks into December.

Thanks for the input peirek. We have a large deck that spans the length of the house and also a paver area for entertaining /outdoor eating where that walkway comes from. So the pool deck area will be for some lounge chairs, umbrella or 2 and a small table with just a few chairs (bistro style)...

Very true. As an example, the narrow walkway will save me roughly $1500. Removing the slide pad will save roughly $1100. So it definitely adds up, but I do agree with you.

Hey everyone. Pool is in,back filled and getting ready for concrete. I'm trying to stay somewhat on budget and looking for some input on where I can cut to shave off a few bucks. I know it's best to put as much stamped concrete now, but need to shave somewhere. Quick sketch with dimensions...

Electrical was put in place Monday, equipment pad and liner went in yesterday and they will be back filling tomorrow. I'll post some more photos in the next few days. Hope to have some warmer weather this weekend / next week to jump in!

Walls up, floor down, plumbing roughed in and concrete collar poured. Some photos.

Thanks. They were here today and I ended up going with the extra panel. The run was 200' from my house panel to the pool pad. $700 was for the new subpanel and 50' run. I ended up paying a little more than $700 ($1400 actually) for the longer run and panel, gas heater hook up, SWG hookup and...

Not sure. They have told me for my pump, light, gas heater and extra outlet a regular 20 amp circuit like in your kitchen would be sufficient.

Thanks everyone. Just found out my existing panels were full already. Electrician said we could "try" the double breaker option but may not pass inspection depending on the town. Plus the double breakers cost more already. I think this made my decision to go with the additional 40amp panel much...

Thanks for the feedback. In your experience, do you feel $700 is a reasonable cost for this upgrade or a bit too high?

Very good question. I'm going to reach out to him and find out for sure. Thanks!
