A couple times in the last year my pool equipment has tripped a fuse (during freeze). Luckily I noticed that the pump was not on. Is there something I can do to let me know that the pool is not running (weather in program notification, smarthome add-on, etc)?

You are correct. It is a 3900(not a robot). Essentially I'll put it on the other side of the pool and gets stuck on the stairs. It never happened during the summer, I just noticed recently.

Question...my pool robot keeps winding up in on the same step of the pool every day. Is it broke or?

Looks like stains from leaves...gurss I couldn't depend on the kids swimming out while I was out of town.

Success !!!!

how do I find out which aux control the lights are on.. .read? [emoji52]

I've been looking but cannot locate a way to set lights on a schedule with my pda or phone. Does anybody know how? This has to be an option.

I was told to run atleast 10 hrs a day. I can cut back to 30 minutes?

The cost for quartz was about $2000-$2500 less (if I recall correctly). I put that differential into travertine and vsp.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner....My ph is Always off the charts (with the spillover). Any suggestions on preventing or cleaning it? Should I powered it or put a toothbrushto it? .... decrease the spillover time...gallons and gallons of MA?

I was told the same thing about quartz (why I changed from pebbletec). But either my kids have the most tender feet next to new-borns or it like fine-grit sand paper. I'd hate to see what pebbletec does to them....I assume it will get better with time because they are in it everyday for 3-4...

Could somebody tell me how I should clean this off my spillover? And what did I do to make it happen?

Yep, spigot would be the word.

well it's near my hydrant and is covered with dirt on the same side as my pool equipment.

what does this pipe near my hydrant do? does this add water to my pool?

No it's not pebble. Initially had selected pebble but a few unexpected overages moved me down to 80/20 quartz ....plaster. platinum is the color.

there's a crack in the grout. the on said that happens with settling and they'll fix it.

Is this suppose to be happening to my spillway already (2 weeks in)...or is this an issue at all ?

1. how do I calculate how long it takes the water to cycle through the whole pool (13k pool/spa)? 2. if I use borates, can I keep the fc levels close to 1.0 3.how long after the pump comes on can I test? 4. what order can/should I put bleach & muric acid in the pool? 5. could someone send me...

The chlorine is a and easy fix. And I'll rectify the ph this evening....not really happy about dumping a bunch of water to fix the CH. Can I do that slowly?

Now that makes sense. I've been freaking out (new pool and all). Surprised they didn't know that. I will act accordingly

ok, I'm all over the place. I've started using my test kit and comparing my numbers with my local pool store...numbers are close/same but the range on "ok" are contradictory to pool math. They keep telling me my FC is high. Is there a reason why I targeting number so much higher than my local...

I like the contrast too....color is a little uneven. but I was told that will clear up

Alrighty, just completed pool school and had my polaris installed...will this this be in the way all the time (ie can I push it to the side or...)?

so should I continue to post my questions / post-fill timeline in this topic or....?

thx. Now I'm rushing to catch up on maintenance "do/don't"

Finally I can get the kids to burn some of that summer energy off. They were ripping the paint off the walls.

My PB in passing told me that I can hook this into my sprinkler system. They said that Texas PB's aren't allowed to connect but they do install the line. Anybody know about this?

Ok the pool company has sent out a tech to startup, initial chemicals and brush the plaster. the question is; how do/should I begin the transition into TFP. Especially considering I have pool school, chemical school etc coming from my builder over the coming weeks....do I ignore or supplement...

Pool is finally full after 29 hours of incredibly weak water pressure.So now that's over....
