  1. Tell them to clean plaster ovwrspray. Should be able to take off. They should provide lid. If acrylic spray deck, they should paint to match as well.
  2. This doesn't seem realistic. You have backup?
  3. Bull, lyon and RCS are some common, solid grills. Don't go big box.
  4. Outdoor kitchen just means she's tired of cooking for your ass. But seriously. Got one. Love it.
  5. Not on my wish list right now, but that's a smokin' price.
  6. Yeah mine was 3200 for about 10 hours a day when I moved in and it was pretty damn loud. Dialed it back to 2400 and it was much better, but didn't seem to be skimming enough. I think I'll do a combo of high/med/low and see how that goes. Do higher RPM'S during heat of day and slower either side of that. I believe those motors are rated for very high RPM's. The VS motors are not your parent's pool equipment.
  7. Thanks, I'll tweak the settings. I actually didn't have it running at all overnight. Is it better to have it going 24/7 I guess? Still learning all this stuff. At that speed you're consuming about 100w of electricity and still have water flow and filtration. I have same pump. Lasted 10 years til freeze.
  8. This time of year 6 hours high. Usualy 10 - 4pm, 4-10pm on medium. 10 pm - 10 am at about 25%. When we fit fall through winter back high speed down to 75%.
  9. Have you had it since new? Has the sound changed dramatically? If its a nuisance drop the high from 100% to 85 or 90%
  10. I'll drink to that! And will continue for another 14 hours or so.
  11. Fireworks starting early today.
  12. Fucking THIS!
  13. Preferably without consent.
  14. Blinndergarten. Wow. Fucking awesome.
  15. I never add CYA on fresh fills, don't use tabs from leslies and rarely add tabs through fall to winter. But brass tacks - CYA goes to shit in 2 years it takes 4, maybe 5 hours of drain and fill to rectify? And there are a fuckton of clean, clear pools running over 150.
  16. Well played Sir.
  17. General response to TFP and salt water systems. Aside from my industry experience I've had a pool in my backyard for a decade. I have a VS pump, an over-sized cartridge filter, robotic cleaner and a POS rainbow chlorinator. We spend MAYBE 30 minutes a WEEK fucking around with the pool. It's usually on Sunday after spending the day in the pool (so we're drunk when we do it). Keep tabs in the chlorinator, shock the pool once a week and check the pH. You can mind-fuck water chemistry and if you want to putz with the pool, cool. Hire a service company and it's going to cost ~200/month and they are going to spend 30 minutes cleaning the pool, adjusting pH, adding tabs and shocking the pool. If your pool gets a bunch of leaves etc, in the pool, that changes the calculus, but typically not by much.
  18. I'm not a fan of covers. For those that have bought are you satisfied with value? And what's top reason for purchase? Industy curiosity.
  19. NFT the shit! Surly bidding war!
  20. To take off there's a product called SR3. Google SR3 scale remover. Haven't used but heard it's good.
  21. I bought a gmt ii online from phigora. They're in NY. No sales tax.
  22. Bad ass. Wife too shy to make an appearance?
  23. Meh. Probably just need a great bottle of wine and a good shagging.... or vice versa.
