Does Pool Math give you the exact amount (ie: if you use a measuring cup), or do you need a scale to know how much to put into the pool? I like to use a measuring cup to measure my chemicals and I'm finding it complicated to do the conversion. I'm also math disabled (which is putting it mildly)...

Worked fine until it didn't. Stopped moving, took it in for repair, was told that it needs a new motor. Bought a new Dolphin and am putting this one up for sale -- you can either replace the motor or you can use it for parts. It's about 4-years old. It was well taken care of and I have no idea...

Hi, I'm in Concord -- have had my pool up and running for 2-years now. We seriously considered Andrews -- glad we didn't go with them considering your timeline. We went with Stone Edge and once they started, things went like clockwork in terms of the schedule. You're going to love having your...

Only my 2nd year with a pool and I'm an empty nester. We put the pool away from the house, so that we can't hear phones ringing, the TV, or anything, really. It feels as though we're on vacation when we're out at the pool -- very separate from the "house area," and very relaxing. I'm a major...

Hello from Concord, MA! Lovely setting, lovely pool. Who was your builder? Bonnie

Hi, I purchased a Dolphin 300i for my new pool and I've used it (on full clean mode -- floor & walls), 8 times now. The first thing that happened was that the mesh insert started fraying -- disappointing at best. I had to call Maytronics no less than 5-times to get someone to agree to replace it...

My brand new pool (see "under construction"), started getting these rust spots wherever the natural fieldstone got wet -- and the rust is now moving onto the tile. I will contact the PB about it tomorrow, but I'm afraid he's going to give me some chemical and tell me that I'm going to have to...

We only have the granite coping on 1/4 of the pool and no, he did not recommend sealing it (we also have a granite deck, which he also didn't say needed sealing). What seem to be leaking and causing the staining are the fieldstone rocks, which are the coping for the majority of the pool. Has...

OK -- so on the first day of swimming, I noticed rust spots underneath the coping in some areas. It looks as though when the coping (flat rocks), get wet, they seep a mineral and the mineral is staining the concrete and the tiles. I need to speak with the PB on Tuesday, after the holiday...

My PB wants me to wait 28-days to use both the heat pump and the vacuum -- and the salt. He only has me checking the PH and the Alkalinity right now. I'm following his directions, as I'm having some issues with the coping -- and I want to make sure I do everything according to the book so that...
