I will measure the old filters, but the ends got chem burned (or wore out--guessing--posted pics a few weeks back) so I don't know what model or make they were. They are considerably bigger (longer) than the new filters I just got shipped to me. The plate on the filter cannister indeed says it...

Hello again, Seems that ordering replacement filters for my hayward C2025 Pool Filter isn't as easy as I thought. According to the literature, I needed a CX480XRE replacement filter for it. 4 of them. So I went out to the internets and found the Pleatco PA56SV replacement cartridge. All was...

When we bought the house a few years ago, they were putting pucks in the skimmers. We haven't done that. No MA in the skimmers that I am aware of, I always pour it in deep parts of the pool.

So we decided we needed to drain and refill our pool this year--cya was unreadable, CH was insane, and then a little spot of mustard algae showed up... way to go pool guy. I've been reading here for 2 years, figured it was time to try things myself since paying for it wasn't working out... We...

Can anyone tell me what plaster burn from acid washing looks/feels like? How much time needs to be spent rinsing the acid in each area once it's done its work removing scale? I am looking at my pool post wash, getting ready to refill, which I think --thanks to reading you all -- I can do...
