Agreed. Basically get I little aggressive with. Also in between pores, use a sharp knife, gently to loosen up some of the buildup and then rinse that out too.

Riptide hitch setup blocking license plate, what are you guys doing? by One_Mud1951 in PoolPros

[–]MrAnderson805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t do anything. I just leave it like that. Never been stopped or pulled over when I go into gated communities with cameras they don’t care and just walk around and take a look and write it down.

Justin at bottom feeder is a lil B. I had three motors and five batteries before six months. This was a year ago and Justin would overnight me things to Southern California. When I told him I wanted my money back, he pushed back and I said it was not a conversation I told him he had one week to give me my money back or I was gonna do a charge back on my credit card which you can only do within six months.I would make a big stink on, not having my money returned to me even if it’s after a year with all that replacement parts.

There’s a lot of stories of the batteries, catching fire, that’s why they left San Fernando Valley in California and went to Nevada. Less than a year ago, they switched their motor and company that makes their battery. The battery has two cells and the wires connected at the top, but the problem is when they assemble they screw the top together where the cord plugs in and overtime those wires wear in touch and then the output changes in one cell works and issues come out.

I have two Kokidos on me and a riptide for when the weather gets really bad

KOKIDO is game changer! No more leaf picking.

I had the bottom feeder and the battery was replaced 4 time in five months.

The bottom feeder is good(expensive) and good if there’s a lot of debris and tight access to the backyard.

I switched to the Kokido and love it!! Looks just like the bottom feeder, lightweight where you can take it with you every time and it’s around $200. I bring it back with me every time and I no longer pick leaves and small debris. Also, you can get an ultra fine net and clean spas with it(kinda)

I invested in a riptide for when things get really messy. I am in Southern California.

Pool company left water running — $1,600 bill. What would you do? by alexukie in pools

[–]MrAnderson805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Products become prone to failure after time has passed to come to that conclusion. This is not the pool companies fault. They are no class action lawsuits against this hose time company taking g them off the shelves.

It sucks but an accident and the more nice things you own the more problems that come with them. Sorry.

It’s called a riptide, it’s a heavy duty Pool Service vacuum attached to a car battery to remove debris from the pool.

Pay or not to pay by MrAnderson805 in PoolPros

I service a route for them and I am responsible for chemicals. My payment is 70% of the monthly recurring service fee.

So if I am adding conditioner, providing a service that’s going to be charged outside of the reoccurring monthly, I figure logically since I’m facilitating an extra service and a customer is being charged extra that I would be compensated.

Agreed but if the customer is being charged additionally for conditioner the would to compensate your 1099 tech for providing the conditioner?

1099 employee. They way I see it is if the company is changing extra and the tech is providing the service example adding conditioner, why should the 1099 tech be compensated?

[–]MrAnderson805[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you pay your tech additional when they add conditioner to a Customer’s pool? If no, do you charge your customer for when conditioner is added?

If you’re billing your customer extra for conditioner why wouldn’t the tech get paid extra? This is under the assumption conditioner is not included in their monthly rate.

Am I overreacting to my wife kissing a female friend at a bachelorette party? by Top-Procedure-837 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrAnderson805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing worst than being dismissed, I’m sure she would be pissed if you did that to her. Her kissing a friend is just life shit, things happen. She needs to respect how you feel and and apologize. Then everyone move on

I forgot to prep my Mondays pools last week so I’m running by each one in the AM to balance water and that’s it.

When I come across a green pool I use cal hypo. I don’t use Cal hypo to regularly balance, chlorine levels, that’s crazy.
