Yesterday I added 8 gallons of 10% bleach with the pump off until the water finished filling and met a black pool this morning. :( :hammer: Is the black dead algae floating in the water? should I have not added the bleach until I had the pump running and all the water level up to where it...

I have a small Hayward DE filter that hasn't been cleaned in over 1 year. but the jets are still pushing water. I thought if the jets were not pushing water then the DE filter needs cleaning. but this filter has not been taken down and cleaned in over 1 year. although the company that cleans...

went to do a quote on a pool today and tested: FC: 3 pH: 7.4 but just like the other pool I couldn't get a TA reading. I really need a better test kit. getting one Dec 5th. a Taylor. :party: also this new pool has mustard yellow on the bottom. I believe it's algae. should have taken a...

no chlorine tablets? just bleach? I visit each pool once a week. normally a tablet will keep the FC stable for a week. but i don't want to keep adding CYA. so can bleach once a week do the job? Thanks.

in fact they say not to test for pH but I still get a reading. still no reading on the TA happening. just nothing happening. I will test anyway again tomorrow and see if I can get a result. is it normal not to get a TA result when FC is really high? Thanks.

I have a painted pool and the paint comes off every time I brush and clogs the DE filter up and then needs taking apart and cleaning. this is a new client of mine. should I be taking on painted pools? it seems like more work and problems.

Hi guys I have a marcite pool that was painted and it was green. I shocked it clean and sparkling but now there are some grey areas on the bottom of the pool. I tested some on the steps by rubbing my hand over it and it was coming off. I assume it's left over algae which will be killed off over...

I have an Hayward EC65 filter. I was running the pump for 12 hrs while I was balancing the pool but now that it is sparkling blue I reduced it to 6 hrs which is what the owners wanted. will 6 hrs be enough? Thanks.

I want to carry some chemicals in a utility box on the back of my truck. I know liquids don't mix with oxidizers so I went out and bought dry acid instead of muriatic acid. can this dry acid be in the same box as granular chlorine and chlorine tablets? they are in closed buckets. These are the...
