https://www.ahhsome.com Hot tubs or jetted tubs...Best you can buy.

Bravo....many thanks for the detailed response. I'll likely adopt your method(s). I notice in your sig line that you use the Frog Ease system. What is your opinion of it vs. the liquid chlorine method often used by many on this forum in their pools and spas...me included? Have been strongly...

Hi all, new Bullfrog X6L owner here and am looking for input regarding cleaning the filters in our hot tub. It has two wellspring "pleated paper" filters. I plan on purchasing 2 new wellspring filters to have on hand for rotation, but would like to know your methods and schedules for cleaning...

Ok, tell us all the details......I want in.

I must be spoiled with chlorine prices around Northwest Indiana. Everyday price of a gallon (128oz) 12.5% is $2.50 from any of multiple pool stores in the area. Even $10 bucks for a case of 4.

Welcome Michelle. I'm just down the road from you in Valpo....consider getting your liquid chlorine (bleach) from either Great Escape on 30, or Carrabean Pool. Their chlorine is 12.5%, 128oz per bottle and $10 for 4 gallons and very fresh. Finding this site is the best accessory I could have...

Considering that the wide mouth skimmer on my pool is approx 6 inches tall, is there suggested standard water level other than enough to supply the pump, and not too high to allow for skimming action? I usually keep my water level at the second screw on the skimmer, which allowed approx 3...

Grrrrrrrrr, It appears I need to replace the laterals in my Hayward sand filter. The pool was installed August 2016 and then closed Nov 2016. I read the manual, read the forums, and looked to see what my neighbors did with their sand filters. Everything pointed to leaving it outside over the...

Copy copy....many thanks

Ok, maybe a better question....how often do you add water to your pool, even if the water level is appropriate for the skimmer level, but NOT the calculation you entered into pool math?

The sun is shining and my pool is open in northwest Indiana! We closed late and have opened early. Water looks pretty much perfect. My sweet spot for the water level is the second screw head up from the bottom on the skimmer mouth. The skimmer will take in water 2" below and almost 2" above...

Install included everything except electric work. What did you find at The Great Escape?

Hi and welcome to the club..... We just installed an above ground pool and I walked the ground you are now walking. 1. We went with The Great Escape for our pool purchase. They offer 0% interest financing for 1-5 years. We NEVER borrow money to pay for toys, but free money is a no brainier...

Just for clarification, that chlorine test result was at 7:30pm. I had added "today's" chlorine, last night at 7:30. So, 4 ppm loss throughout today's sunny day.

Pool is crystal clear and gets 100% sun ALL day. Was 91 degrees today with a heat index of about 99-100. TF test numbers of: FC 2 (CC 0-.5) Target of 6 PH 7.7-7.8 TA 210-220 CYA 45 Pool math recommended 70oz of 12.5%. One adult swimmer today and two clean children :p Does 70oz sound high to...
