We don't have a cover, so in a sense our pool has been "open" all winter long. The other day I got my testig kit out, and started balancing the water. So here we are, with snow on the ground, and a sparkling blue pool. I thought it would be cool to get in the spa (attached to pool), but when I...

I guess I need a Hayward sight glass - but when I search at some online stores, it's hard to figure out which one I need. I did go to poolcenter.com, and was a little disappointed with their $12 shipping fee (that's 50% on top of my cost) Also, a Jandy Valve handle. I will do what you...

So I've been inspecting the "stains" some more while swimming. It almost looks more like damage to the plaster. The surface of the stains have a different texture - more rough. If it is damage, how do you repair something like that? They're not algae stains. I don't have any vitamin C, so...
