Pat has been a tremendous help already . I will start bringing PH up this evening , and tomorrow , i guess to be on the safe side , i should not run my pump until tomorrow , or when I get the ph up to around 7 ? I do not have a heater , but i do have a swg , that will not be turned on until...

So I did the acid start up on my new plaster . Dropped my ph to 4-4.5 with muratic, and have been brushing 2-3 times a day for 3 days now . The dust really does not seem to be changing . More or less just acts like a layer is just settling on the bottom . I stir it up when I first make passes...

I have installed three of the Savi sol p series 28 watt in my pool , (was supposed to be 4 of these) but my illustrious builder failed to give me a long enough 1-1/2 pvc in one of them , so my only option is throwing a 6 watt one there now . I also have a 6 watt on my suns shelf. Hoping that...

That is one of the reasons that we did not go with the lightstreams, we didn't want to be the reason for anymore delays . i must say that we are super happy with our tile choice , although next to the flagstone it was definitely the hardest decision. we too are soo tired of the mud as well as...

So I poured in my MA this evening , and started brushing , this is a lot of work ! had a function to go to for my son , got done a few hours later , decided to brush again. i called my builder , and he actually answered . Commences to tell me that I need to go buy a SS bristle brush, an brush...

I cannot thank you all enough ! i have my brush , MA Bleachand went ahead and took the bag of soda just because I had already called in( and it was $18 but will grab some borax as well!

Great , so do not buy soda ash ? i will be running a SWG when it's time also

indeed I am in a very strange predicament , but , again it is my own fault . My wife would have rather just called a company and have them tells when they were done and we can swim. Me on the other hand has to overthink it , and say buy doing this this and this , we can maximize features ,size...

I spoke to him briefly about procedures , and he said that normally the pool companies that he worked for took over once the filling process began . I think his two main accounts are blue haven and another large builder in my area . I will ask him, when I pay him . But as of right now , I am...

I do have the test kit , and I am on my own . Problem is , I used a somewhat free lance guy , so basically did it to myself I guess . i am fuzzy on the start up page . Sorry to be so sketchy . i fill the pool completely, then add my MA right away , (approx 38k to 40k gallons ) so I am going...

Plaster crew finished yesterday afternoon , diamond brite bahama breeze was used pool is now filling , and since my builder has pretty much ditched me , I am on my own. Plasterers added sequestrant (4 bottles of startup tec) I have several questions , I'm assuming the acid startup is the way to...

Wait .... What ? First you say the ones with " handles " can climb and scrub walls up to the waterline . Then say keep in mind if there's a "handle" it will only do floors ?

You talked me into it ! Ordered mine today !

Looks like the 140c is the commercial version , and the 140 is the consumer . The commercial is just a little harder to find , and a little more money

Ok , so I'm looking at the Pentair TR140c and the Pentair TR140c3 c3 says commercial , and has flanged fittings instead of threaded . so I'm guessing these won't be overkill?? Will have to do some more checking to figure out what valve goes on the 140c3

Was pretty much dead set on a cartridge filter , but I really think I want the ease of a sand filter . what size should I go with ? Thinking the Pentair 600lb with 2" plumbing . Any other recommendations? Would like to stick with Pentair .

Having trouble attaching a pic . Someone want to message me email address I will send ?

He did not mark any of the pipes , I guess that I will figure out what goes where by using compressed air on one end . i am pretty sure that all of the skimmers are on dedicated lines . im not a plumber by any means , but have done quite a bit of Pvc repair . i will go and snap a picture , but...

I could use a little help on the technical side. I hired a local fellow out to help me with my pool , and it seems that he has kind of hung me out there. I had a feeling something like this would happen , but i said all along that if i could get my shell in the ground , if i had to , I would...

savi did have the Pentair designation in their line .

Are these the same as the SAVI pool lights ? They look the same ! do they have a model that will work with the Pentair controllers ?

this scares me, we are really wanting to go with the darker plaster . We both really like the onyx . And as of right now it is our first choice.

This is the same story with my wife and I . We are doing more of a natural look and I did not want a diving board . I too thought that it would stick out like a sore thumb . My choice was a rock as well . I do have three young girls under the age of 9 that were rallying against me , so I was...

I looked at the site , and it looks like the accent tiles are reversible but not the waterline tile sheets. But i have been wrong before !

I honestly had no idea that it was reversible?? spoke to the rep today for a bit and he never mentioned it either. any link you can post ?

You are correct ! We placed our order today for the blue steel for waterline tile , and did the terra for all of our steps /benches hoping the two colors will tie together well with the flagstone coping and decking that we are doing !

Thank you for the compliment!! I lost more than a couple of nights of sleep over the decking , and had a really hard time making my mind up. for one it was the cost , 2nd my wife wanted stained and scored concrete . Either I finally convinced her that it was worth it , or she got tired of...

Thank you all for the response ! Decided to go ahead and install , decking has commenced , working our way closer to plaster !

Definitely using some of the same names. Some differences in configurations . Pebble tec sells buy linear foot , L/S sell by the square foot . Seems that P/T comes out a few dollars cheaper . Thinking of pulling the trigger on the terra color tomorrow for my waterline , and doing steel blue...

Has anyone tried the pebble tec pool tile ? Cannot seem to find much info on them ? Did find it strange that they were using some of the same names as lightstreams . any help /pictures would be much appreciated!
