I just wanted to provide an update. We added two bottles of Clorox descaler, waited overnight. Then started to mitigate the ph and alkalinity. We brought the ph down to 7.2 and the alkalinity to 80ppm. We have tried our hardest to balance at these levels and it’s been a a little over a month and...

Thank you. The person that opens and closes our pool and was formerly the Chem guy for our pool builder said the exact same thing - also to lower saturation to -0.2.

I am using a Taylor test kit (K-2005).

Hello, I’ve read every single thread on the white flakes. We have a new plaster swg pool built august 2022. We had it closed for the winter, with only the spa open, converted to bromine. In April, we had it professionally opened and the salt cell turned on for the first time. White flakes...

Ok guys so I’m reading the manual and it says you Can essentially install the heater in an outdoor enclosure(obviously properly vented as per the installation instructions. Anyone ever see this done? Also, this might seem like a ridiculous thought but how come I can’t use a plug-in heater (not...

Thank you for this! I did search for similar issues and couldn’t find anything so I appreciate you answering my question and referring me to the correct pages in the manual.

Hello! We are newbies. We have our pool closed, but kept the spa open with a pentair eti 400. Ice keeps forming on the condensate float assembly which shuts down the heater. Our pool tech from the pool install company showed us how to go in there and chisel out the ice to get it running around...

So after we discovered the strong smell on Thursday, pool guy said to shock it and leave it alone for two days. We left it for three days and stupidly went in it last night without testing first. Smell was strong. So Us being newbie idiots and not understanding this fully, thought we still had a...

Thank you all! I am starting to understand this. What would you suggest for the time being? Does it need to be uncovered to let the chlorine evaporate?

Liquid. I’m not sure what fas dpd or oto is.

We are new SWG pool owners. It’s only a couple of months old. We had the pool professionally closed for the winter but kept the spa open. We have been noticing that we smell very strongly of chemicals when we get out of the spa. Our pool guy told us to shock it and explained the whole chloramine...

There absolutely has to be a way around this. I see pictures of pools all of the time with grass surrounds that have lids right in the grass! My PB is not being accommodating at all.

I love this, however, I just watched the pour a kid video on their website and this will Not work for grass. The issue here is that the coping is going to stick out 15” beyond the regular coping in two spots just to accommodate the skimmer.

So my builder came back and told me that he won’t do the hide a lid. My theory is he doesn’t know how. They work off of a template and they don’t know how to do anything custom which is super lame in my opinion. He shut me down and basically said do Not ask me again- we only install one way. I’m...

Do you have a picture of this?

Is form to form edge of coping to to edge of where this extension piece would end (aka how much it’s going to stick out)? If so, it’s 17” vs the 12” of regular coping around the rest of the pool.

This is what we have going on…

My thought was to affix artificial turf to it. It might blend in.

My question is… how did they do it in this pool?
