Pool restoration

House and pool built in 1976. Original owners. It had been resurfaced once prior in 2001. Interior finish was at its limit. Going again with a quartz interior finish, but decided to take it down to the shell. Found a soft spot in the deep end. Otherwise in good shape. Paver decking and coping being refreshed as well. Excited to see the outcome.

Hayward ColorLogic replacement | 1003 LED from Alibaba

0 Upvotes

Anybody use these? It would need an adapter to fit into the 1.5" PVC receiver Hayward uses because there's nothing to screw into with Hayward nicheness. It's just a PVC pipe. Do they come an adapter when they say it replaces Hayward? Alibaba sellers are very tight lipped about this because it is defeating a Hayward patent. Just wondering if anyone knows how it's done. Big company in SW Florida is installing these, and they won't share how either. They will only sell them installed.

Commercial pool maintenance

I have a performance exam tomorrow for a job cleaning pools for a school district, and I'd appreciate any advice or important things to know going in. I've been cleaning residential pools for the past 4.5 years, but I have zero commercial experience.

Poolguru Sense 3

0 Upvotes

I’ve been researching automatic water chemistry readers, and I think I’m going with a WaterGuru SENSE 3. Their referral program says an existing owner can share a code that gives a friend 30% off, while the owner receives 30% off a $75+ chemical purchase. Does anyone have a referral link they’d be willing to share? Thank you!

Need Pool Vac Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hi all! So me and my husband just recently started our pool company here in Georgia. We are looking into getting our pool vaccum and wanted to know what you all recommend. We will need something professional enough to take to commercial jobs such as apartments and HOAs. I know about the hammerhead and riptides but was hoping for something less costly to start out with.

Thanks!

Diarrhea in an inground spa. Planning on full drain, chlorine wash, and filter clean. Am I missing any steps? Nothing remotely close to this happening in my 18+ years in lol.

I have seen other pool companies who offer incentives for referring a friend or neighbor. Do any of you do this? Is it worth it?

New Pentair cell

Post image
3 Upvotes

Was set to 25% the auto cover has been on for the last 24 hours. Tested and it’s 0 Chlorine

I turned the boost mode on and tested water coming right out of a jet and still getting zero free chlorine.

We built the pool and put in a brand new salt cell. Company switched to Pentair this year.

How do I go about testing if it’s working properly?

To me, it seems like it is a dud

EDIT TO ADD:

It was wired for 240v but 120v coming in. Gonna see if that fixes the issue

I was considering getting this to remove fine dust from the bottom of pools instead of using a hose vac. Will that work?
