We seen this product at Walmart. Is it good or is there better options? We looked in the regular bleach isle, we've noticed, some bleaches do not show actual ingredients on the bottles. Even the Clorox brand doesn't have ingredients on some bottles. Are they trying to hide the information for...

Wow, thank you. We thought it had to be changed after some time. We will do what you say. Time to stir and clean.

Been running SWG for at least 3 years now. Never have changed the filter tho. Backwash regularly. Time to change the sand. My question is, what is the best type of media? Is sand still the industry standard? I see online, some other eco friendly media types that can be used. If we stay with...

So, good news, my husband put about a foot of water in the pool and after sitting a day, some drained out. He's agreed it's faulty. After searching online I realize the old valve we have is quite expensive, yet the newer pvc types are 20 bucks. We are going to pump the water out and pull the old...

The pool is over 20 years old. The main drain is white pvc looking, but the valve is different. Has a screw and a washer attached to the top. I seen a picture online of one like ours, I'll try to find it again.

I'm thinking the same thing. My husband is arguing with me. I think he just doesn't want to replace the valve. I think we are going to have to, or it's not going to hold water. He's got the pool filling now. We'll see if it holds. I think it's already leaking, the level of the water doesn't seem...

Our hydrostatic valve is smaller in diameter and a bit taller than what I see in the video. It's also silver, not white. It has a washer attached to the top of it. We have a small bilge pump we placed in the main drain to remove the water, so we can view the hydrostatic valve. When we pump the...

I am understanding, yet I have another question. How do I tell if the hydrostatic valve is good or bad? This one flexes up and down when pushed.

So, it does have a main drain, at the bottom of the deep end. 11 feet deep. When we removed the tarp, there was about 7 inches of a small pool of water at the main drain. My husband pumped it out and the next day, there was about 10 inches of water there again. It did not rain, where did it come...

So its spring, time to pull the pool cover off and get things started. In the fall we drained our guinite sw pool to below the jets and covered with pool cover. Same as previous 5 years. Each previous year we pulled the tarp off and water level was where we left it. Well, today, pulled the tarp...

Fc= 8.5 cya=50 cc=0.5 tc=9.0 ta=130 salt=2200 - - - Updated - - - Ph is over 8.2 - - - Updated - - - I'm just now realizing I don't have a way to measure ph higher than 8.2 so I have no idea where it's actually at.

Is there anything I can do to lower my ph and chlorine? We are getting moderate sun here. I think I'm reading to just give it time. Is it safe to swim like it is?

Thats what i thought but I can't find anywhere to give me the information.
