    Pool cover issues

    the rope broke on one side of my auto cover. The pool company says I have to replace tracks pulleys and cover to fix this. Does that sound right? Is there a diy video on fixing the rope without replacing everything. It broke because water level was too low and I didn’t realize it.

    Automatic pool cover issue…

    So I opened up my cover not realizing the water level was a little low. About 3/4 open, one side stopped working. It will open and close if I push and pull the non working sign but will not move by itself. Only one side is moving. Any ideas how to fix this. The line isn’t broken. The side...

    Is there a pool vacuum that's amazing?

    I have the new Polaris robot. Works great! Wish I bought it years ago. Check out the pool cleaners sections. A lot of good choices and most are well worth the $1000 price tag.

    Common issue. Feet will become adjusted to it. For now think of it as a free pedicure ;)

    Why not keep FC lower recommended levels?

    Cloudy Water

    Your pool is cloudy because of algae. You need to do a proper slam. Buy a good test kit and a ton of liquid chlorine. You’ll need to raise your chlorine to slam level until the cloudiness goes away.

    Pool is cloudy after a tremendous amount of shock

    Pool is cloudy after a tremendous amount of shock

    The chlorine smell and the cloudiness are from combined chlorine. Get some liquid chlorine. For reference I had this a couple weeks ago 30k gallon pool. I was out of town so I did a one time slam. I added 12 gallons of chlorine and left the pool running for a couple days. Are you sure the...

    Polaris P9550 review...

    It was something like $1150 after rebate. It was only a weekend sale. He said there will be another one in June. Very happy with the p965iq. It hooks up to WiFi so I can control it from across the world if I really had to. lol
