have you resolved your issue? I have been considering a new pool cleaner. I see you are in fort worth. we could possibly work something out on my old cleaner. Its a pressure cleaner that is about 4 years old. Has new bag and has been repaired a few times. email me at...

ohh yea.. haha sorry... - .5 And FYI I updated my signature. I have a SWG now. - - - Updated - - - correct. Ok, I will see about raising it some then.

Hey everyone... I took some readings. CH 90 total Alkalinity 80 PH 7.5 CYA 50 Temp 83 When I use the whiz wheel in my kit, it shows me at a -5 saturation index. I'm trying to decide what to adjust... I am going to bump up my PH a little to 7.7 - 7.8... my ch is low according to the book...

Thank you for all the replies guys! The value I gave was from a test at leslies... My kit has a test for CYA which I intend to do soon.

My CYA was at 35, I have added about 4 lbs but have not measured the change so far. Chlorine test done with the leslies test kit

great advice guys. I did the diagnostics on the easytouch and it said 4600 PPM, no faults. At the time of my OP the green light on the unit was flashing (indicating high salt) however when I turned it on this morning and did the diagnostics, the light is no longer flashing. I tried to...

Jim, The cell is reading 4600 PPM.... the pool store says 3200. The cell wont kick on (presumably because of the high salt reading) Furthermore, holding the "more" button I get a reading of 20%... a single green dot for remaining life on the cell. Even when it was new it could just barley...

Hi everyone. I need to replace my salt cell as it seems to have bit it after only 2 seasons. Can the IC60 cell be dropped into place of the IC40? will it need to be re plumbed? will the power supply be sufficient? Thanks

The easy touch system is basically just a bunch of relays. There is an easy touch model number with the swg power supply built into it w which is what I installed. If you don't have that version, you will end up connecting power cables to the swg power supply to one of the relays. Typically...

Hi everyone, We just finished having eco finish installed. Here is a time lapse of the work which took 3 days to complete with a 4th day of filling. The color is Mediterranean Blue. The initial fill had a green tint from th tap water which quickly disappeared once I fired up the pumps...

"hrm, is that dark thing the dot, or the reflection of my head!?"

Thanks for the replies guys... The stuff was just too hard for the drain snakes. I ended up clearing it out while the pool was empty for an ecofinish reno. Poured acid down the pipe at both ends about 6 times and was able to dissolve it out.

I am not sure what your setup is exactly, but I was having the exact same issue and it turned out to be the O ring on my filter basket housing. I replaced it and lubed the new one and all my issues went away. Might be worth the 6 dollars for a new gasket if you are not certain it is not the...

Just FYI, I just signed a contract with gold medal pool myself for ecofinish. It was a little over 2 thousand more than plaster which I found fair. I don't know what you mean by "top beam". How much of those extra dollars was for the top beam? If that top beam (whatever it is) really needs...

HI everyone.. I have an ongoing issue I have been working on and I have made some progress but am still stuck and in need of some fresh ideas. When I first got this home, the pool was a swamp. When I emptied and cleaned it I discovered that both the relief drains (one for main pump and one for...

Hello everyone. I am wanting to build a solar heater. Mainly to extend the swimming season (start sooner end later). I want to also design it in a way that will allow me to push water through it at night and blow air over it so that I can cool it off during the really hot days. Is there any...

Bdavis, I dont have the measurements that were taken... however the pool is Kidney shaped, approximately 35' long, 12 feet wide and and 9 feet deep in the deep end. 105 linear feet around the perimeter.

I dont have any advice for you, but CONGRATS on your future pool!

I wanted to give an update on this thread... First off, In reading back through this thread I see that some took my post as a gripe thread about cost. A lot is lost in translation with the written word (well, my written words anyway) and that was not at all what I was intending to do. The...

Wow, that would cost me 4000.00 in water alone.... I would be furious

thank you for the reply... I was interested for a variety of reasons. I did expect it to cost more, but not 60% more. I still have not rules it out, but will be getting multiple quotes.

Yes I saw his well written post... The quote I got for the plaster job is from a well established and very reputable place right down the road from me... I am pretty sure that if I shopped around I could beat their price by quite a bit, but I am willing to pay them for the piece of mind knowing...

Brian, Actually, I do have some questions that if you could answer them would help me tremendously. 1. How much DOES one of their application machines cost? (they have 2 models) 2. What does it take to become an approved installer? 3. Do I have to be an approved installer to purchase a machine...

Thanks for the reply Bdavis. I actually have not made up my mind. I knew that it was going to be a bit more for the aquabright, but this is definitely more than what i was expecting. Also, Its not that no one answers the phone at Ecofinish... they answer... then I get transferred to voicemail...

The pool is 11 years old... The house was a foreclosure and the pool sat half empty and turned into a swamp for 3 years. The sun did a lot of damage to the areas that were exposed and also the algae stained the plaster so deeply that even acid washing did nothing. Unfortunate, but I got a...

Hello everyone... So I am need of a re plaster job on my pool. I found Aquabright and it sounded like a good option at first. However I have received a quote for $5500.00 for a Quartz re plaster of the pool. Compare that to an aqua bright quote of $8500.00. I know I am one cheap dude (...

Why are you not considering a DE filter? it is the BEST filtration and they aren't really that hard to clean. I dont backwash at all and only clean/replace the DE 2-3 times a year unless we get a lot of rain. It cost me 10 bucks in DE and about 30 min total.

Try getting some shade umbrellas and if you can make a sprayer attachment for your cleaner, have water spray at night... the evaporation will do a LOT of cooling... My stepfather had a salt pool with a dark bottom that got up to 96 degrees one summer... I made a sprayer that attached to the...

Yea, im still gonna spend 50 bucks every 2 years or so to seal up my stone.
