It looks great! I love the colors.

Casey, I have spent the past couple hours reading this entire thread. All 46 pages. I just couldn't stop reading. You are amazing. I remember seeing you on here several years ago when I was devouring everything I could while we were building. I came back this week to look at spa threads. Saw...

We bought an A7L in 2015. We went and wet tested several different ones in the showroom that day. The Bullfrog was the last thing we tested and all I remembered. Bought it on the spot. Well, ordered it. Our spa sits on a level concrete slab poured specifically for the spa. Full sun all day...

We went the standalone route to save money. Plus we built a vinyl liner pool and I just didn’t like how the “spillover” spa was going to look. We bought a Bullfrog spa and love it. Going on year 4 and use it frequently still. I did find out later that Bullfrog can also do their jet packs for...

I am so happy you posted! I can't wait to see this finished. I love your colors! It is going to be beautiful! :)

Any updates? I was really enjoying your thread. :)

Wow! What a difference in the water color! Keep up the good work!:kim:

I did too until I saw your comment. Then I went back! LOL!

#coolestthreadever Seriously, you guys are awesome! I can't wait to see the pool filled with water and you and your family enjoying all your hard work!

On the TA test - are you adding reagent #0007 - 2 drops first before you add the green drops? I have no idea why the water would be turning pink instead of green first...is your pH still 6?

Eek! I think you did the right thing to start with adding chlorine. But I would also be concerned about the pH. However, I don't know what that means when the TA test doesn't turn green. Hopefully the experts will be along soon to get you going in the right direction.

You will run a complete set of tests and then use the CYA/FC chart. The link to that chart is in post #15 here in your thread. One of the best things you can do while you wait on your test kit is read pool school. The link for that is on the top of this site.

No way would I add the powder shock. It will add extra "stuff" to your pool that it may not need. And this is probably not going to be a "fast" process. Be patient and wait for the test kit to arrive so you know exactly what your pool needs. Add only liquid chlorine and brush, brush, brush...

So I have a dumb question...if you regularly run the robot do you still need to brush?

Heard back from our salesman today - Bullfrog is replacing our spa. He apologized - his sales rep actually had the replacement approved from the warranty department within 48 hours of seeing the photos I sent - but our salesman forgot to let us know that. Couldn't be happier about the results!

Best. Dad. Ever. Seriously. Make those memories! That's my one pool regret - that we didn't do the project when our son was younger. He will definitely jump in when friends are over, but I have to nag a little when it's just us. His little sisters on the other hand are little fish! Happy...

This is amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you so much for the update! I remember reading this before. What a beautiful setting you have there!

Ok - so I took 3 water samples to the pool store for metal testing. 1st sample was pool water 0.1 iron 0.1 copper 2nd sample was water directly from the hose 0.4 iron 0.4 copper 3rd sample was from the hose with my pre-filter attached 0.1 iron 0.2 copper So - based on those results I don't...

That is beautiful. I love the tiles. I would not get a thing done! Just staring out those beautiful doors to your beautiful pool! Good job!!

Love it! It is a very GOOD thing to be "the" house where all the kids like to gather. I wouldn't have it any other way! Good job!!:D

I've been thinking about where the metals have come from. I'm going to the pool store today to have 3 samples tested. One from the pool, one from the hose, and then one from the hose WITH my metal trap pre-filter. Will be very interesting (I hope) to see what the results are. We live back about...

What a difference a day makes! The pool definitely looks a little better this morning. But what surprised me most is that the hair nets that I keep in my skimmer baskets have caught a lot of the iron! (I think.) Here's what the hair net looked like just now when I changed it out, and how the...

Ok - just got off the phone with the fella @ Jack's. He doesn't think the "other" stuff I put in will have an effect. I'm off to Amazon!:wave:

Yes sir, we do. We initially filled it with trucked in water from a service...haven't had to top off much at all lately because of all the rain... - - - Updated - - - I was afraid of that. The fellas that built our pool were just out a couple weeks ago to repair the flow switch on the SWG...
