You are correct, relying on Leslie's is the root cause of his problem. Do you think that the white spots are caused by the broadcasting of the granular chlorine? I think that is the case. I also think those spots are giving the algae a good spot to anchor to. Another question..... Is it...

Hi folks. I am trying to help a dear friend in the North Dallas area. I was visiting over the weekend and he mentioned a few pool issues. Eventually I was able to see his Leslie's test result (I know, I know....) and take a look at the pool. I am always hesitant to offer a lot of advice...

If it stops at (or near) the light, can they consider that "drained for the winter" and close like normal?

I'll give it a whirl on one of my older filters, thanks!

Toss a brand new filter in there and see what happens. I have an intellichlor IC40 for my 20k pool and a VSP pump. I am diligent about cleaning the carts (I have a small cart as well) but here is my story. The IC40 was installed while I was out of town and they did a poor job of it (and they...

Correct. Power Center is the same, but you will need to re-plumb. I just made the same swap (ic30 to IC40). Keep an eye on whomever is plumbing this for you. I had a disaster of a job (I was away when they did it) and they had to come out again and try to fix it (this will be discussed in a...

We do have a lawn service for this that does a couple of applications per year. I thought the same thing, that it might be them, but the distance from water to the grass ranges from 4 feet to 15 feet. I'll note that anything is possible, but we have had the same guys for longer than we have...

Seeds etc: No, these are stains that will nor wash out even when I used straight bleach in a bucket with the old bag. Metal: No ladders - lights are plastic - poles for brushed are aluminum and aside from fading from the sun, they appear intact. Cleaner: Outside looks new though the plastic is...

Hi folks--- I'm looking for some answers..... I have a Doheny's Dolphin cleaner and it is probably 10 years old - maybe a bit less. This season, I noticed the inside of the bag had a large number of what appeared to be very tiny rust spots on it. A lot, like a kid having measles, number of...

Do you sell the returned ones at a discount? I'd be interested in one as a backup.

A rake is a game changer for loads of leaves.

My FB pool had the PVC heat bent. Kinf of fun to watch.

For some reason, I seem to remember another poster here with a crack in the tanning area. He said that River Pool fixed it, but that it happens all the time with that model. As for that thing in the center, I'd go straight to RP on that - especially if you do not have much faith in the...

Casey - you are going to ruin your robot running it in a pool without water! :cool: :cool::cool:

A friend of mine (who had a pool) told me when we were thinking about building to come here and read up. I was a member well before they broke ground.
