Swimming Pool

affirmative, ordering now.

 

Ok, then he is using your existing pool pump and filter. The suction pipe on the bottom of your skimmer (underneath the basket) connects directly to your pool pump. When you plop the pool hose in there, you begin vacuuming using your existing equipment. Any dirt gets trapped in your filter and any leaves get trapped in the pump basket. If you don't have much dirt and you rarely have algae issues, you could probably go a few months between having to backwash the filter, but the pump basket should be cleared weekly (or less if it's a clear cap and you can see the basket contents).

Just checked the two Amazon things you sent
$65 bucks for both ! Cheap

Yeah I have seen him have both of these products

Now when do you get to la and how much do I have to pay you to show me in person ?

 

Not on this house

Already been there done there previous house

 

La Cañada is one hell of a drive for me. If I ever find myself down that way, however, I generally work for beer.

 

Any beer brand I Will do
Make time after the new year and let me know what you drink
I will also pay your gas

 

Check out Costco for pool cleaner robots, bought mine there 3 years ago, no issues. Super easy to use versus creepy crawly or hose systems. All you do is clean a filter bag.
It's easy looking after your pool, get water tested, they will tell you what chemicals you need to balance water, use a pool sock on your strainer basket, keeps a bunch of stuff going into your filter system.
Pick up a variable speed pump, your electric bills are way to high.
Your pool guy is screwing you over

 

Yeah we clean our own pool. Check the filters routinely, check the ph levels, and chlorine. Usually I take a measured bottle of the pool water to our local pool store and they can test it when need be. We use an electric pool cleaner that scrubs the bottom of the pool and floats to the top for the loose leaves.

 

Oh yeah and the skimmer, check that too.

 

Yes!

 

I struggled with keeping a clear pool when we first bought our house almost 7 years ago. After paying large sums to the local pool shop, I found a better way. Check out www.troublefreepool.com . Very knowledgeable, friendly people who are happy to help. You willl learn more about what each chemical does to your pool, and have a clearer pool while spending less money. Also, for a test kit, I would go with the TFT brand and highly recommend the TF-100. Gives you more tests than just the 2-way oH and chlorine shown above.

 

Pool guy got fired today. Thus the thread.

Ok I will see what Costco has when I am there this weekend

 

Thank you. I can do that pretty easily

 

As I mentioned in my long process writeup, make sure you brush the walls AFTER you vacuum, otherwise you will stir up anything sitting on the bottom and then you won't be able to vacuum it.

 

Do not buy this ! Trust.

 

Reason? It looks identical to the All Clear brand I used to use.

 

may i jump in please? get yourself a new pool service company NOW! ive been doing this for 30 plus years at a top water park and soon at the BEST water park in the world! if you cant balance water quality much less know how to clean the pool itself, leave it to the pros! just some solid advice,ok.

 

The company I used, did the pool for 8 years prior to me purchasing. I asked around the neighborhood, and they all use this company.

I am frustrated with how bad they are. So they are done. Thus I don't know where to shop around at all for one .

 

oh they are out there! it could be the emplotee and not the company. call them and tell them the service is bad and send a different tech. people are so mis-informed on swimming pools its scary! and i deal with a million and a half gallons a day! gotta hang some xmas lights,but ill be back,ok
