So after many years of use my "the pool cleaner" vacuum finally bit the dust. I was happy with it, was heading over to amazon to buy another one and made the mistake to check the forums to see if there is something better lol. So I found the Dolphin Nautilus CC on amazon for $579 which seems...

basically I just want to remove the vacuum and hose from the pool while we are swimming. The flap door will close when i remove the hose so there shouldnt be any problem with someone getting there fingers in there. I just wasnt sure if it would get air in the return line and ruin the pump...

I have 'the pool cleaner' suction vacuum in my in ground pool and the hose plugs right in to the side of my pool. the return pipe for the vacuum meets at a "T" with the skimmer return and theres a valve right there and then continues on to the pump. I was wondering when we go swimming is it ok...

I need to make a correction to the FC. I thought the chlorine test thats with the ph one in the kit was FC and the colors must of been a little darker than I thought. I did the actual FC test and it took me 20 drops so my FC is 10. CC is still 0. So its high and might have to do with me...

I'm just starting to follow the "water Balance For SWG" guide on this site so im in the process of getting my pool in balance. Since my CYA was less than 20 I added 4lbs of this http://www.lesliespool.com/Home/Pool-Chemicals/Pool-Adjusters/12302.html on Sunday. I followed the instructions on...

concrete pool. electric heater

There shouldnt be. I tested just the tap water the same way as i tested the pool water and came back with 150. I can test the pool water again trying the copper way and see if it comes up with something different

Yes mine says 20 drops of R-0010 and 5 drops of R-0011L. I did 10 drops at a time of R-0012 and used the speedstir to mix it after every 10. Cant remember what i used to shock the pool last time because its been awhile but I'll see if I can find it

Just did my first full test with TF-100 kit and noticed mt CH is ridiculously high. Its always been been a little high for the pool store tests (500) but my test shows more than double theres. I've had the pool about 3 years and this is the first time I fully tested it myself. I've only shocked...

First off I'd like to say thanks to this site. I'm like most people who mindlessly been taking there water samples to the local pool store and continuously come back with balance packs, shock treatments, water drains, etc. I decided I had enough and been lurking this site for awhile and...
