Our pool stores can’t find one & I’ve searched the web high & low only to find out of stock notifications. I know the prices are insane…but this is our vacation rental property that’s fully booked out for the summer so when guests are there we can’t test/add chemicals so its important the salt...

I’d love to know where u found the IC60?! Our IC40 has gone out at our vacation rental & Neither I nor my pool store can find a replacement available.

Wow I wish I’d thought to add a shelf & umbrella hole when we Re plastered ....costing $13k I wasn’t smart enough to know any changes to the existing pool were possible! I’m sure OP is close to completing the pool but we’re also in so cal (north county SD) and the autofill would be...

I’m really excited to start making these!! Our pool is at a vacation rental & the pool heating cost is insane so we need a cover but I could never come up with a solution that was easy for guests to use & wouldn’t cause tripping issues...I think this is it! I cant quite figure out how I should...

From a females perspective I can say the rollers are a huge benefit but of course that also means they need to be managable & after reading thru all this it seems your 18’ length was difficult, so maybe smaller sections with smaller pipes? I can see a hufe advantage to rolling on a pipe &...

Wanted to get your opinion on purchasing a whole house 5 stage water filtration system with our hose fill line running through. There is a deal home depot right now for the same model we have installed at our house and it's amazing (pool is at our vacation rental next door) but am not sure if...

Hi All- I've read a lot of the forum posts on here about solar covers (colors, thickness, etc) and think that's the route we have decided to go with a reel system. However, the property is a vacation rental (next door to us) so the cover will mainly be on during gap days and wintertime. The only...

I'm wondering if you would share who you purchased your home appliance coverage through? We have had to replace the dishwasher, dryer, and have the AC fixed so far and now our pool heater is going out so this type of coverage would have saved us some serious $$ and I would love to look into it!

Our Pentair Purex Triton Minimax plus 400 pool/sp heater is quick-firing. It ignites just fine and the flame is the correct color but it only runs for about 1 minute, clicks off (red service light comes on), re-ignites (service light off) and continues this cycle. So we had our guy out this...

Ok turned the SWG off for now, and adjusted my run time down to 2 hours since the water is crazy cold with all the rain and current weather (but very clear). These are my test results of the day after guest checkout. I see that my CYA is low but not sure that working hard on adjusting it right...

This was the most helpful info for winter I've found, thanks!

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd let everyone know what we did when we built since I had to do A LOT of research. 1) Had the propane line run from our pool heater to the fire pit area *While expensive we went this route since it's at a vacation rental and we are much more...

I didn't know that! What temp is cold enough that you should allow it to warm up? I only ask because I'm in so.cal...Thanks for the info!

Hey everyone- So I've been following all your advice since we resurfaced our plaster salt water pool/spa. I've yet to keep the chemicals at an ideal level for an extended period of time but thanks to all the knowledge here I have had no issues dealing with fluctuations and no longer panic when...

:kim:Woohoo! Thank you for this!

that's EXACTLY how I feel about it! Why wouldn't they have some of the best on staff to take care to make sure something like this doesn't happen? Then to come out and say the things they are about "why" it's happening...when there are millions that know how pool chemistry works....

hahahah right?!

Do you think that's actually what caused it???! Baking soda?? I know the heat is making it worse, and it's a lot hotter in RIO than southern california but come on...isn't there full time staff taking care of that? lol

So what does everyone think happened that allowed the RIO olympic's diver, and now the water polo pool's to turn deep green with algae overnight! They are over treating the pools with so much chlorine the polo players are complaining they can't open their eyes :stirpot: :eye: :mrgreen: :puker...

Wow, I'd say you definitely ran into a HD employee that just wanted to throw around his weight. Living in southern California with the ridiculously strict HOV and chemical compound laws I ran into something similar when trying to purchase it the first time for etching mirrors (long before pool...

Re: Help identify plumbing & Skimmer Suction Issue? Thank you for the definitions; I was reading all the other plumbing questions and getting confused on those. I get it now :kim: So to answer your first post question: -If I turn the right valve (instead of having it cocked like it is)...

Sorry to sound dumb but how do I set it into "pool mode"? The photos show how it's set on a daily with the control unit behind the pump running on schedule. When I manually enable a speed (say 3 for example) & turn it on with the current valve setup is when it sucks through the skimmer as if...

I'm so confused on the valves & plumbing connected. I received basic instructions during setup about which valve to turn & pull when doing the monthly filter flush & which to turn for the spa but other than that he seemed to think it was common knowledge. I've spent months trying to understand...

Re: THANK YOU & Good News It is :) I went to go turn it down/off after asking for help with the FC a week ago and found that it turns itself off when the water temp gets too low. So even though I'm in So. Cal it looks like it will turn itself off during the wintertime until we get our pool...
