    New hot tub cover?

    i need a new cover, I read somewhere Sunbrella makes good covers. Can someone recommend a good online company to purchase from and do they come with a cover lifter? My lifter was damaged so I need a new one. Any help would be appreciated.

    Dolphin Power Supply blown in the pool.

    Did it sink to the bottom or float? Not good if it sunk……..also not a good idea keeping it plugged in all the time. Lightning can fry the components.

    Blue diamond robot pool cleaner

    Well I purchased a new power supply, but it was an updated power supply that was supposed to be new and improved. I paid $300 plus shipping and received it a couple days ago.

    Slam?

    No I think I made the mistake of just adding the CYA (sock method) on day two when the water was still green. My thought process was to maintain the fc add the cya asap. Maybe my bad……now the slam still going on I need to keep fc really high. so I assume fc of 21 is not high enough for cya of...

    Slam?

    The water is looking better but I had FC loss over night. I opened the pool 3 days ago with a cya of 40. I dissolved enough cya to bring up to 80 cya. Do I assume the cya level is 40 or 80? I know it takes time for the cya to record on test. My problem is I’m not sure what number to go by to...

    Need a pool cover pump

    Can anyone recommend a pump for pool cover? Prefer the sump pump style so I can use it as a sump pump also. Some of these pumps shoot water out side, I would like one shoot water up and out. Sorry if I’m not being clear, not sure how else to phrase it. thank you so much…..
