It's never been below 5 since March when I was getting it all ready for my son's swim season and swim team practices. It really is never "closed" here, we just don't use as much on the occasional cold days here! I have always been amazed, as have 2 pool companies we used in the past when I...

Good morning, I looked through borate posts and could not find someone with this problem, so wanted to pick any brains with ideas. A month back I added borates to my pool, using Natural Chemistry's "Foundation". I added until I got to a level of 50 ppm My pool was resurfaced last year...

Yea I called Raypak a few minutes ago and asked technical. Told them what it's doing and you guys need to hear this and remember....his words "Well it sounds like we need to get you a new pump out there immediately. It should do 'something' so it's definitely not right, sorry." This was a new...

I started the pool up myself. Everyone at stores said "you have to add Jacks Purple" or Jacks this or metal this or that...but my water tested clean for no metals. SO I always go by why add stuff to remove stuff you don't have? So on start up I added nothing the first night. They exposed the...

I have a roughly 20K inground River Rok pool. 60 sq ft DE, 2hp pump, big dinosaur of a heater. My water cleared fast after plastering. Alkalinity came down in a weeks time, I let it drift down on its own then the last day before a pool party brought it down to 120 with a short course of...
