Thanks!!

Hi everyone....I saved what I thought was a "1 pound coffee can". It is 10 ounces. Since I don't have a DE scoop at home....does anyone know the equivalent? I have a Pentair FNS 48 so I think I need to add 4.8 pounds. Anyone know how many " cans" that is? Thx

The pool cleaner that came with my home purchase 8 months ago is on its last legs. It is an older model hayward that worked well until now. I have a small pool and a suction style is fine for our needs. Any thoughts on the Navigator? I've heard good and bad. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it

Hi everyone! I've been going great being a new pool owner following the TFP/BBB method. However, recently I have a new issue. Our pool came with a hayward pool cleaner (I think it is an older version of the navigator). The last week the hose keeps getting twisted so it will not work/move...

Sorry the pic is a little blurry. It is a hairline crack.

Hi, I noticed a wet spot in my tile this morning. Upon closer inspection, there is a crack. I had seen the crack before don't remember the water seeping. It must be coming from the spa, as this area is on the wall to the raised spa. Any advice in how to repair? We bought this house in March...

Well put Donaldson. For me, I prefer to be educated!

To try the Vit C test, how many tabs should I put in a sock? Thanks...

We bought a house that came with a pool in March. In the deep end mostly, there were several rust-like spots on the bottom, BB size. Today I noticed one on the side of the pool, about a foot from the surface, so I'm ruling out actual things left in the pool to rust. My questions, any idea...

Hi, we bought a home with an existing pool in March. I've finally got the pool dialed in with BBB and my TF 100. :-D We had noticed an odor that we thought was the water. We found out the odor is coming from the area where there was water penetration and likely mold where the mastic has...

My bad.......I had the borax confused. Needed to go back to pool school :o So, If I understand correctly, BBB is a process and not only about using baking soda/borax/bleach. Makes so much sense to only add what your pool needs and not all the pool store gimmicky stuff. I also like the...

Thanks everyone! I want to become a BBB purist! Just had to add a little muriatic as my ph crept up. Almost on my way to using borax instead!
