In-ground Vinyl liner 25,000 gal Indiana We opened our pool last weekend. When we opened the cover the water was clear. After sweeping and cleaning the pool, I tested the water and added 3 gallons liquid stabilizer and the suggested amount of chlorine to bring it to shock level (even though...

The pool is clear blue, water is at least half way up skimmer but I have tons of bugs in the pool and the skimmer basket is clean. When I pull the basket out I can feel suction at the bottom. Anything I can do to get the water circulating and filter out the bugs?

I have a smartpool NC71 robotic pool cleaner. It has been determined that I need to replace the cable (NC7123). I have not been able to find the cable as this model has been discontinued. Does anyone know of a cable that is compatible with this model?

I have a 40,000 gallon vinyl pool. We have had it open for a couple of weeks. The water is clear but we've noticed some "sediment" at times in the bottom of the pool. The "sediment" goes away with vacuuming but will return. I would normally think this is just dirt, but I cannot get the pool...

We have a smartpool climber automatic cleaner. When we tried to use it this year, it will not work. I've tried troubleshooting it with the online suggestions on their website. I put the climber in the water and then plug into the outlet. I turn the unit on and the red LED lights up but nothing...

Cloudy a little here and there. My 7yo was in the hospital for a week and it wasn't "maintained" quite like usual. I was worried that I would continue to add chlorine but it would never hold without a level of CYA measuring out. I just didn't want to throw my wallet in the pool too. Our reagents...

30,000 gal in ground vinyl pool Clear one day and cloudy the next. pH 7.0 CC O FC 0 Alk 170 CYA 0 I'm not sure how it was clear the day before. I just must be lucky! Yesterday I added 4 # of cyanuric acid. I know that it takes up to a week for the CYA to register. I thought by an off chance...

Ok...I have been slamming my pool without success. My numbers look good but the deep end is still cloudy. I wasn't testing the ph while shocking. I have not messed with it in a couple of days and this is what I get...ph 8, CC 0, FC 5, cya 50. The water still looks the same. Should I continue to...

We have a 30,000 gal pool with vinyl liner. We are having trouble getting it clear. We opened it about 1 1/2 ago. Here are the testing results: FC 12, Combined chlorine 0.5, PH 12, Alk 275, CYA 50. Any suggestions? The shallow end is clearing up but the deep end is still very cloudy. Sent...

We live in Indiana and need to close our pool. Since the kids have been in school, it has definitely been neglected :? Here are my numbers today. We have a 30,000 gal inground pool with vinyl liner. What should we do to get my numbers back in shape so that the pool can be closed for the...

When I opened, we had no CYA and no FC When I opened, we had no CYA and no FC. I added 4 pounds of solid CYA and probably 15 gallons of bleach. I did that on Tuesday (3 days ago). I still have CYA that is registering and no FC. I thought that the pool would probably not hold onto bleach...

CC was 0 also. Our water is slightly cloudy. Thanks for your input.

We successfully maintained a sparkling pool last season using the BBB! Now, it is time to open our pool for the first time ourselves and I just want to make sure I do everything right. We have a 30,000 gal inground pool with vinyl liner and automatic pool cover. Here are my readings: Ph 7.0...
