    Skimmer basket nets

    I've been using the hairnets for a few months and think it's the greatest thing. Cheap and very effective with pine tree pollen and all the other small mess that would otherwise get thru my skimmer basket and cleaner's leaf basket. I've had the same pressure reading on my filter after 3 months...

    Signed the contract this morning, New build Orange County, CA

    Don't be negative about your build, your project isn't finished and once everything is done you'll sit back and enjoy. I really like your stacked stone and pool design. I ran into this thread for the first time and saw your pictures of stone and tile choice. I have the same stacked stone and...

    Suction side port for cleaner not enough pressure

    Suction side port for cleaner not enough pressure

    I recently added a side suction line. I can't get enough suction to power my new pentair warrior from the side port. When I hook it up to the skimmer it's more than enough suction and have to turn it down. I have the side suction valve opened 100% but it's not enough suction. Am I missing...

    Confusing OTO test results

    It's a poolman 5 way OTO test kit. I'm awaiting tfp kit in the mail to do a fas/dpd test and check cya levels. I was getting frustrated that I couldn't get to 5ppm based on the color chart but now I'm afraid I've gone too high so I didn't add any bleach since last night and this evening I...

    confusing test results

    I think I may be having a similar issue with my OTO (waiting for my TFT fas/dpd test to come in). When I mix the sample it get a nice bright yellow which to me looks like 2-3 ppm but if I add more chlorine and test within 1-2 hrs it's the same color and not the orange color that you would get...
