Yes. I bought some blue stuff that seems to work better?

Does anyone have a trick to sealing the skimmer for a pressure test. I simply cannot get a Seal with a 2 inch threaded plug. I must’ve done something right on one of them because one is sealed fine.

Thank you so much. I couldn’t find that sticker online. 4awg copper will be the one. I’m not about to test the inspector with that.

Do you have turnbuckle supports? If so you can adjust the top which is the most important part.

Can the Load Center Terminals accept no 2 awg wire? I am looking at feeding my 275' run with 2awg aluminum. I cannot find anything in the technical documents or manual

New Build 20x44 Vinyl liner Deck Jets x 4 Waterfall 3 led pool lights SWCG Intelliflo3 3 hp pump Triton II Filter Already over budget on other parts so I am wondering if the intillicenter is needed to conctrol this or is there a way to do it with the relays on the pump itself. So I need to...

It’s been 10 Years since I built my last OB pool we have since moved, and I are in the planning phase of a new build! This time we are definitely going to do an automatic cover. My question is, can all automatic covers be used with a vinyl liner pool with the correct track? More detail: I...

I did this myself a few years back and did the loop option. They are equal when on.

Yes! It does run on high if I start it on low first. What does that mean? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have a 2.5 year old Pentair 2 speed wisperflo 2hp pump. I noticed it stopped working a week ago and I thought it just overheated. I took the motor apart from the housing and visually inspected it there motor spins great with out any noticeable issues. I then turned the motor...

I have not added acid in a month. Our water is city water so I can't imagine it causing this, but perhaps. We have had some ash from Forrest fires, but I thought that would raise the ph?

Everything this summer has been pretty smooth until today :( . My water has been crystal clear with many parties and pretty much swimming everyday. I have had the IC40 cranked up to %50 while we have been having lots of groups over to swim. Yesterday was the first day we havent swam in a...

This may sound dumb but what kind of tape measure are you using? If it is a cheap vinyl type being suspended in the air the sag could account for quite a bit. I had a similar issue on mine but it was the long side. Just a thought.

I use an airport express with airplay which is connected to my receiver that powers my outdoor speakers. Lots of new receivers have airplay built in but I had the airport express. So anyone that can connect to my wifi network can play anything from there own ios devices ie spotify, pandora...

I used the Home Depot/Lowes Ball Valves for my build last year. I completely regretted it. They leaked on the suction side and the one for the slide was very hard to turn(not kid friendly). Two handles broke.(mine were in the sun) Needless to say, I am replacing them all with pentair 2 way...

Yes they are the 6" sections. I got mine second hand from Craigslist for 400 gates and all! So I am not exactly sure of the style and brand. But I was able to use parts from lowes and online. The posts are pretty standard. I spend about $200 more for auto closing hinges, flanges and...

I installed my 54" aluminum fence using the flanges on top of concrete. It is strong, of course not as strong as directly in concrete. I have seen a grown man run into the fence and it didn't budge. Each flange gets 4 anchors that are for heavy duty use so I trust it. There are some pics at...

Can you add this? Thanks

I realized I never did final pics and although we have not finished landscaping this is as finished as we will get before next year:-). This was so much work but I am super glad we did it and as you can tell on my youngest daughters face she is too.

Thanks. It is a vinyl liner pool.

She is doing that today. So when she fills it back up I guess we test cya again and then begin the shock process if CYA is reasonable?

My friend has been going to a pool store for years. She has been using something that has obviously been adding cya. The store keeps telling her to shock, and then sells her cal-hypo(notice the CH results). I don't think she has every actually got the pool to shock level. I went to her house...

I am really a newbie and have had lots of fun learning. My pool is moderately cloudy. I can't see to the end of the 40' side underwater but can easily see the bottom when out of the pool. I just finished raising the CYA to SWG levels. Every weekend has been parties of 20 or so kids swimming...

Re: How to Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks everybody.

Would you use your swcg to get there or add bleach?

I was wondering how others boost their chlorine? Do you add bleach or just up the percentage on the swcg? Thanks

It is a new pool so figured that is why cya is so low. I started with half a container or the Walmart stuff in a sock and after a week there was no difference. Since then I added the rest and now the test is cloudy but doesn't register but I estimate it would if it went to a 5.

I am really wanting to catch the sparklypoolitis and right now and just frustrated and maybe just impatient. The past two days have be very windy adding lots of leaves to the pool I had my mx8 vacuum and hand skimmed them out in the mornings. We had about 20 kids in the pool yesterday and...

I went with the ball valves from HD and regret it. I have 8 of them if I only had 4-5 I would upgrade. With a 3 hp pump you will probably get air on the suction side with the ball valves. I get some with my pump through those valves with vacuuming. Just my .02.
