Im looking at replacing my old pump/filter. I have a cartridge filter now and not sure if I should continue with that or do sand or de? I'm also thinking of taking advantage of the $300 comes credit and getting vs pump. I was looking at the pentair superfoods vs. I can grab it for 799 then get...

I'm hoping someone can help tell me the purpose of this plumbing piece located on the side of my pool. I just moved here and this is my first inground pool. I want to close the pool myself to save money but not sure if this is something I have to mess with or not. Any help would be greatly...

I'm looking to sell my pool robot. I purchased new last year. It's great for above ground pools. I prefer someone local as I want to avoid shipping. I'm looking to get $200. Let me know if your interested and I can send pics. It's in excellent condition and I store in my garage when not being used.

Is there an area to sell items on this forum? I belong to a couple where they have an area to sell used items. I'm looking at selling my 1 year old aqua bot pool cleaner and thought someone here local would be interested.

Well we sold our house and are looking at buying a new home with an inground pool. It is roughly 18' by 36' oval with a deep end. It just had a new vinyl liner installed this year. It has 3 returns, 1 skimmer and 1 main drain in the deep end. I don't believe the shallow is below 4' deep. Not...

Good morning everyone, hoping to get some great advise from the experts here. I have an algae problem in my majestic wedding stairs. I drilled multiple holes in the base and other areas to help with water circulation. I've been having a little difficulty this year getting my pool to "sparkle"...

After 1 year of having my pool I feel the liner is pretty faded. I pulled out my wedding steps yesterday and there was a significant color difference in that area verse the rest of the pool. It was even worse where the suction cups of the ladder were. Is this natural to see this or is it...

Kind of confused on this whole back swimmer issue. My buddy told me I shouldn't have any in my pool and I've done some research and that seems correct. I did find 2 small algae spots 2 weeks ago and have treated that. I never showed any cc in my testing so still confused by that. I slammed last...

AFTER RESEARCH 99% SURE THEY ARE HONEY BEES Sorry for the confusion So I know there's gonna be a bee or 2 or 3 here and there but yesterday I had a bigger issue. I went to take off the solar cover and there was 1 flying around by the ladder. By the time I bungeed it to the other side and...

So today I pulled off the solar cover after being on since Sunday night and found 2 small algae spots on the bottom where the sun is shaded more of the day then the rest. My results are good and curious why this came about and if I should be concerned. I brushed after seeing this and put the...

So my TA has gone up from 110 to 190 in about 2 weeks. I added 40lbs of Proteam supreme and was curious if this is what caused the increase? Should I be concerned at it being that high? Everything else is spot on and seems to be holding well Test results Ph-7.6 fc-5 cc-0 ta-190 borates-50...

So I have perfect levels but noticed a shiny film on top of the water. FC-4.5 CC-0 TA-100 CYA-30 PH-7.6 i have been holding these levels consistently. The water is still cold as is the weather here. I have had the solar cover on constantly and only ran the robot so there was still quite a bit...

I'm wonder if anyone knows where I can buy just the rubber lid to my k-1000 test tubes. Seems to not be on the case and can't find it :(

Sorry to ask if it's been answered which in assuming but read around and couldn't locate it. I have read to do a ph and tc test daily. Test ch, TA and cya weekly. Best other(borayes) monthly. So how often do you dot the free chlorine/combined chlorine test??? Weekly? Every couple days? Every day?

Picked up 40lbs for $120. American sale has it for $75 plus they have 20% off coupons if anyone is interested. I know it's still a little more then 20 mule but wanted to try it since this is my first time

When everyone talks about psi readings when are you reading it? If you have a variable speed is it on high?low? I ask because I have likes 1psi reading when on low and 15psi on high. Does this seem to be the "norm". Hoping I shouldn't be seeing more pressure on the low pump setting. My pump...

My waterway pump has a gate valve that has a air line off on it going into the pump strainer basket feeding from the skimmer. It has a straight end on it to pipe clamp a hose on it. I want to hard pipe the lines and there is a valve-air like valve on the bottom that isn't attached to anything...

Well after weeks(it seems longer) they finally got the pool installed and its filling as we speak. I had already done the electric and seems like the return/skimmer is farther away then I feel it should of been located. I bought 9' hoses to help but the return is stretched out pretty good and im...

After having the installer excavate down more there was some gravel and roots that were from an old tree and old septic field. I ordered the armor shield to be put down as I assume it will help with any rocks sneaking up from under and causing me liner issues later. He said he usually puts the...

Does anyone have any ladder recommendations as it seems the majestic 8000 is discontinued

Does anyone know the difference between these 2 models? Recommend one over the other? I ordered the 101R w/ exterior enclosure and it came today. I was under the impression that it would have available room for 2 loads? It only had 1? Is this a mix up and they installed the 101 module?

Been doing a lot of research and possibly looking at getting a swg. Do they work with any style pump? I have cartridge pump and curious if I would have to change to go salt?

they through in the frog system with my pool purchase. I plan on using the BBB method here and wasn't gonna even install the frog. I started thinking what if I install it but not use it unless maybe vacation time. I could put chlorine in it when I will not be able to tend to the pool for days at...

I've been looking what everyone here has and seems my pump may be too large. It's a waterway cartridge filter with a 1.5hp Malibu 2-speed pump. Should I have a 1hp? Did the store size it wrong? Should I exchange as I haven't used yet or maybe only run on low?

Don't want to hijack but the timers mentioned(t-101m). Can these be used in a 15amp twist lock application. They only have a 3' cord on my pump so while staying to code but not sure how this could be applied. Would I add an accessible box and put this in series with the circuit?

So I ordered this foam cove for the bottom as the installer said it would help hold the sand in better...is this a hoax or good insight. Also, it came and the tape doesn't feel sticky at all??? Some of the paper was even peeled off exposing the "glue", or what's suppose to be glue. At this point...

I ordered a k-2006 kit recently but after further reading it seems the tf-100 kit seems more appropriate. This is my first pool and is a brand new install. I've always had a family pool growing up but never managed the water. I paid $60 for the k-2006 but contemplating spending another $100 for...

It's not as exquisite or interesting as some of these pools in here but I'm excited and have questions for some experts also. They came out today despite the bad weather(poured as they started) and dug out for the pool. It's being delivers Monday. I thought they were gonna have to go lower but...

Hello everyone! i am getting a new 27'x54" above ground pool installed in the next week or 2. I have been reading a lot here and thinking of going the BBB route. I purchased from American sale and its coming with a waterway filter and the frog system. They swear by it at the store and said...
