There's is a thermostat set to 68 mostly, maybe I kick it up to 70. Honestly, no place in my house is goong to be as consistent.

Hi All, I could have sworn I saw this on the forum somewhere, but my search skills have failed me over the past 30 minutes. My apologies for the duplicate post. My pool is closed for the winter, so I am about to put all the "pool stuff" away. I was going to store the Taylor Kit in my basement...

So, I keep reading about how I should cover the pool heater (or not cover)...i get not covering all the way down for the mice, but now I'm worried about covering that LCD panel and containing moisture. I already replaced the panel just after 3 months of use. I was thinking of wrapping the...

I said the same thing, but the guy closed the valves on one side and plugged the other side...i think I have some of those rubber plugs laying around...

Finally closed the pool and had a reasonable company charge what is now a reasonable price ~6k. I was a little shocked to hear that they didnt use any antifreeze after they blew out all the lines. I am not even sure they used any chemiclas, so I am going to double check that with them. They did...

Hello, About a week or two ago my pool heater LCD display does not come on when I press any of the buttons on the panel. I am reaching out to Pentair and my pool builder as it is still under warranty. However, I want to see if there is something I am missing that maybe I can easily do myself. I...

Thanks for this! It looks like I just need to make sure to get the R-0004 when I reorder since I have Taylor K-2006C-SALT kit.

I guess I mean, should I be aiming for TA of 80 or higher? I see the ideal range for TA for a vinyl pool with a SWCG is 60-80, but I guess I want to confirm that is TA and not "corrected" TA. I have also read ranges of 50-90, whixh seem to include acceptable minimums and maximums. Laslty, I have...

I wanted to share some comparisons with my Taylor test kit to Leslie and the huge differences. I have to admit I recently added Calcium Chloride (Snow Joe Melt) and CYA over the past couple of days, so I can only assume that is why I am seeing a spike in FC and Salt from 9/1 to 9/3. However, is...

I have received more reasonable quotes of approximately $6,500 from several other pool comapnies. They also charge half the price for opening and closing. It may come down to deciding between the super dense mesh and this new aqua xtreme. I couldn't find much technical specs to compare besides...

I have seen other estimates for about ~$1k in installation, but I also thought that ~$3,200 was a little too high. When I questioned the price, I got the following response "...inclusive of the new grommets for the new pool cover that are drilled into the stone and the winterization of the...

I am trying to determine "value" for a quote my pool builder gave me for a pool cover. I have in the past seen quotes ranging from $4k to $7k for the pool covers over the past few years (as recently as last summer). My current quote is about ~$9k for the cover and then another ~$3,200 for...

I am confused as to how salt would diminish that much over a season. I opened the pool in early May and got my salt to 4000 (added one extra bag cause I miscalculated how long it takes for salt to fully dissolve). It has been a steady 3800 since June. We have had a lot of rainfall here in the...

I reached out to Leslie's and In the Swim for their SDS on their Calcium Chloride products. They both say their composition is a minimum of 94%, but In the Swim's product goes as high as 100% while Leslie's product goes as high as 97%. I have been using the Snow Joe ice melt (94.8%) for the past...

Now that I am running the pump 24/7, I am finding that my FC keeps increasing. I have gone from about 55% to 47% to 43% to 35% and my FC is still approaching 10. Today I set my SWCG to 30%. Does this make sense? One way to look at it was that 55% at about 14 hours a day will produce the same...

Thanks for your patience while I take my time to post results and picture (please ignore the fence - the work was just recently completed for backyard renovation). Test 7/11/23 (Taylor Pool) 7/11/23 (Taylor Fill Water) FCL 9.2 N/A CCL .2 N/A TCL 9.4 N/A pH 7.8 7.5 Alk 80 60 CH 180...

I am going to pull the trigger on this ice melt for my pool. It happens to be the same exact ice melt I use for my sidewalk and driveway! I also have purchased other winter products from this website (i.e., snow blower). I cannot find any 50lb bags, which is what I usually buy, but that has to...

I came here to find better alternatives to buying pool store/brand Calcium Chloride. Interesting about the snow melt products... In my experience, my loss in CH or inability to significantly raise it came down to two things: 1. A leak in the pool or plumbing 2. Inaccurate testing - bad kits...

I cannot beleive I never tested this...will report back tomorrow.
