    Tried vit C

    And this rust is back in full force. Not sure what is causing that. Our coping is concrete. And as an added bonus if anyone knows what’s wrong with that white plant with the velvet leaves that would be much appreciated. Just bought it last Sunday !

    kind of in a little bit of a panic mode - power has been off for 24 hours

    yeah, well, we got a new heat/AC system instead of the generator. if we had had THAT, we wouldn't be having this conversation....sigh....and we still don't have water. some has come back in the house but we are under boil orders. I am so incredibly disgusted with the State of Texas right now...

    kind of in a little bit of a panic mode - power has been off for 24 hours

    I am in Houston. We lost power Tuesday morning at 4:30 a.m. We had been running our pump 24/7 (plus the waterwall) to prevent freezing. it's been below freezing every day since the vortex hit. now what? the pump has been off . We got our power back but am VERY concerned about the pipes...

    pool return issues?

    1. One return has no flow period. How do we fix that? 2. We have a lot of junk floating on the surface of the water - very small stuff it’s gross you don’t see it until you get in and you want to push it away. 3. We have a SWG and the pool builder set the second time to run from 9-4 to...

    pool return issues?

    I am hoping this is the right forum to post this. We seem to have a pool return issue. We figured out last year that one of them doesn’t work at all. The rest do not seem to all be working evenly. When the pump is at 2500, only a few you can see water moving. At 1875, barely anything coming...

    We need to restain our stamped concrete....

    We are having a heck of a time finding someone to restain our concrete. OMG. We tried two companies who wanted to tear up or put on top of new concrete, nicely padding the bill. How do I find someone to come out and restain/seal it? Any places to look?

    how do you change the CLOCK on the Hayward ?

    I am talking about the panel. All i see when I go through the menu is timers and backwash, etc. nothing about the clock. The clock, for some reason, is off in time. like it's 11:34 a.m. now and the clock says 11:15

    adding a heater

    SO solar covers DO work? Everything i had read about them before said not really or no or something. Before the hurricane, the water was 92. 5 days later it was 72. Yesterday it was 82 and I could swim but I could not stop moving....

    adding a heater

    I have some questions. 1. How big a deal is this and how expensive is it to add after the fact? 2. We have Hayward equipment and we have gas to the house. 3 is it worth it? 4. How long does the water stay warm after you turn it off? after the storm it was 72F. Now it's 80. SO if I had...
