Perform a backwash or filter bypass to confurm your pump is actually working. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

If your inlet is moving water counterclock-wise the skimmer would go in the 1 o'clock position. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

. :whip: :rant: Go to Kamadoguru.com when you get some free time. Great bunch of guy's and some great info . . .just like here :cheers:

Sounds like a fantastic plan. That kitchen will start begging you when the time & $$ is right. Time to enjoy the fruits of your frustration for awhile first.

There ya go. :goodjob: Looks awesome now! :party: Might I suggest a Kamado Joe to go along with your "Pool Life" :cheers:

That looks FAN-TAS-TIC!

Breathtaking! Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

Is it full yet? :-P Look'n Good. I see palm trees and a pergola with firepit in your future. That empty yard in the background is begging to be worked on. Thats another thread though. Is it full yet? 8-) Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Congrats on your successful build. I really like the color combo and the slide. Who get's the "first" slide? BTW . . . keep the fill pictures coming, these are exciting times!

Hi Xdxsc. . . . Welcome to TFP! :-) Are you using one of the approved test kits to get your results? You need to add your pool equipment in your signature so the experts can help you solve your issues. Your location-region, state, etc. helps as well. Check your ladder or remove it from...

OK, I read back through the post. It looks like I said it would take 5-8 day's max to test your water. What I "meant" was 5-8day's for it to dissolve. :hammer: My bad. Actually I started this on the 18th, 10 day's ago. It dissolved in about 3-days. My CYA is still CREAPING up . . . ...

It helps to squeeze the sock every now and then. Walk out with a flashlight at night, turn your pump off and squeeze the sock in still water. You will see the cloud This will give you a visual of what is going on. 5 - 8 day's max.

:wave: Welcome to TFP! You have come to the right place to get this resolved. I recently went through the same thing but mine looked worse. The "Doctors" will be by shortly but I can start with a few pointers. You need a test kit to test yourself. The Taylor K-2006 or the better bargain...

tcat, I sent in my warranty registration .pdf this morning and made a contact. I expressed our sentiments to them via mail. No reply yet we shall see. . . If I hear back from them I'll let you know about the outcome. check your pm :whip: Later

Great progress on Saturday. Man that is exciting! Looks like a great design as well. A good size pool as well. Hope the weather holds out for the liner install Monday. Keep the pics coming!

After reading this series of post I bought the Breeze 4WD. I have never had a robot before so I have nothing to compare it to except a pool pole-vacuum head-50ft. Of hose-time. The robot wins hands down! So, the one thing I noticed is that debris get caught between the screen and the intake...

I didn't want to confuse the post by asking this before it was resolved. :wink: Now that this is resolved I have a question for learning purposes. :?: The request was for a Hayward S240 pump manual. The S240 model number is for a sand filter. Was there a specific pump sold with this sand...

First, welcome to TFP! Looks like the s240 is a sand filter, not the pump. Look on the motor and see if you a model number. Try the filter body and get a series name if it hasn't worn off yet. Report back, you'll find someone on here that has the manual.

Hah, That's funny . . . I worked over the last week to convert my green swamp into a TFP. I am about 1 day away from passing OCULT. I too have been tracking my activity . . . with Excel. Just this morning as I was performing my test I was thinking about a computer log. I also anticipated...

Yep! Coming along nicely. Keep the pictures coming. It is great inspiration for Us and a lot of support for You. :goodjob:

Congratulations on the new pool and welcome to TFP! :-D That was a great gift to your wife as well. Can't wait to see pics of the install. BayScoutTim

This is a lovely sight! I see you already have a pool. Are these older pictures from your install?

Well, I knew it was a long shot. The link to the types of chlorine is what I was looking for. Thanks again. BayScoutTim

Does anyone know of a source for Pure Chlorine tablets in any percentage? Sound like a good idea but I have not been able to find them anywhere.

Congratulation on Your new pool. Looks great! I really like the shape and the liner color. Hope You have a TF-100 test kit to keep it sparkling and clean. Looks like ya'll will enjoy the pool.

OK, Performed the Vitamin-C pill test. It scrubbed the stain right off so . . . . I have iron stains. This is, I guess, is from my well water or the rusty debris that chipped/fell off of the top trim rails. Now I'm doing 2 things with the well water. Test it With the TF-100 test kit and...

This thing is great! My next purchase will be the Sample Sizer Measuring Tool Hi All, I didn't disappear . . . Just been working with the TF-100 test kit and balancing the pool. I have everything under control for now. The water is relatively clear and the numbers are good. Built an...

Nate81, This is getting out my realm of knowledge but just looking at the chemicals being used and your report of "dirty water" tells me you have a water issue. Those sound like chemicals used to treat industrial water for use by boilers and other process equipment, not for drinking. I...

OK, it's hard to tell by the photo but you do have a carbon bed. The two small tanks are for bleach in one and should feed the carbon bed. The other small tank is for salt and should feed your softener. Not real sure why you have the metering pumps on top of those two smaller tanks. It...

Nate81, Does your softener have a carbon filter? If so, and I'm pretty sure it does, you have to be careful about restarting the system. The carbon bed grabs and collects, filters, the micro-organisms from your well water. That carbon filter should be "regenerated" every 1 1/2 to 2 years...
