If I recall when they were building the pool in the deep end there are two drains and I think it was approx. a 2" pipe/hose that connects them that comes up and outside the pool and concrete area to daylight but buried maybe 4-6 inches below ground. Is that to drain the pool if the liner needs...

Relatives use our pool a lot and slab on the sunscreen. Banana Boat for the kids which I can't blame them but.... I lift the skimmer cover and clean out the black gunk all inside the skimmer which is like auto grease. I really don't care for that gunk and I use Natural Chemistry Pool Perfect...

Pool opened 11days ago. Didn't clear after 2 days so hit it with another 5 gallons of liquid 12.5 chlorine. Chlorine level way high but now normal. Put robot in to clean twice and yesterday and today some of the kids have black marks on the bottom of their feet????? All my readings are fine with...

I have the 9300 sport. Just turned one year old. It does clean pretty good as I really can't complain. The second time I used it I noticed a hole in the blue floating cable that plugs into the controller. I emailed polaris and from the picture I sent them they said it looks like it was...

I'd try the gas as my heat pump does about 1 degree an hour but only if it is in the 70's. When I first got it the temp outside was in the lower 60's and it lost temp. and I use a solar cover. I live near Syracuse NY and I don't even run it unless it is in the 70's. I like my temp at 82-85...

I just thought of something. My pool company takes me canister filters at the end of the year and clean and store them. This year when they brought them in I noticed a blackish color on the pleats. I'm not sure if they acid wash them or how they clean them but I know other years they look...

I don't mean to offend anyone and in no way was I not treating anyone with respect nor good manners. I looked at Chem Geeks respond and tend to think he/she may have hit the nail on the head. The pool company takes my filters and cleans then for us. So please explain about shocking the filter...

No I don't have a baquacil pool and I know that shocking is not a throw something in and its done. I did mention I shocked it approx. 7 times before closing and I know about FC level. I don't use the chemicals the link sent as I mentioned I use the BBB method.

Shocking does not do it so I tend to believe that chlorine does not help. The pool was opened 3 weeks before no closing with no swimming and it was shocked many times so I don't believe shocking helps. I use the taylor test kit and the overnight reading so I know the pool was shocked probably...

When we closed the pool last fall and they pulled out the cartridge filters I saw pink goop on them. the pool guy said it was pink algae just starting. So I've been looking up info on pink algae and find that it is NOT an algae and chlorine does not fix it. I've used the BBB method and all...

I'm new to the Polaris 9300 this season and I have a 2 speed pump which i run 24 hours on low speed. When you all put in your cleaner do you keep your pump running or do you turn it off? Also, when you connect the cable to the power center does yours screw all the way on the threads so you...

Just want to continue to my previous post where I mentioned poolsupply4less.com (Crystal Fresh Pools) had this cleaner for $915 and you also get a $100 Visa Card Rebate so the total would be $815. Before I bought this from them as I see everyone else sells it for 1200 plus I asked if these were...

Guess I have to change that. I used 12% chlorine

Pool does have a heavy solar cover and we haven't had much sun until yesterday. Yes I have added granular CYA so I guess that is why my pH hasn't gone up. pH is 7.2 Do you recommend another type of stablizer over the granular?
