I socked my 13000 gal IG gunite pool yesterday and noticed this morning a sooty looking stain in the area where the GLB shock...

    Need help, please. I have year and half old Pentair Superflow VS pump. I went to check the time since we had a recent blackout. The pump was running but the display was bland and all the LED control panels are lit. After I turned it off I can't get it back on. I tried factory reset and...

    Low flow liquidator problem solved.

    Chlorine tabs in Liquidator???

    I have a Liquidator working and now find I need to increase my CYA. Any reason not to put some of the chlorine tabs (since I still have some) in the Liquidator to add the CYA or is this a no no?? Thanks.

    Liquidator Overflow

    Liquidator upgrade question

    I hope this is not a dumb question. I have done searches and cannot find an answer. Just got my liquidator with upgrade. Is there a way to remove the tubing once you attach it to the valves and flow meter? I see it slips in but can you get it out once it is done in case the valves or flow...

    [attachment=0:x7xlau75]IMG_0175.JPG[/attachment:x7xlau75] I need help from some of you Liquidator gurus. I have a Liquidator coming in and I have looked at the installation instructions on line.

    Pool Bleaching?

    I have been using the BBB method for several months and I think the pool looks great with clear water. I will attach a pic. We just had to get a new pump and the pool guy and my wife think the water is too clear. Their argument is that due to the fact that my gunite pool is blue-green finish...

    Fair numbers but cloudy pool (UPDATED WITH PICS)

    Hi, gang. Fairly new here. Just got the kit based on your recommendations but had started BBB method prior to that and had the water really clear but still with a green tint. Had vacuumed but no better even after sand filter backwash. So I brushed yesterday and it went south with green...

    Newbie and of course a question

    Ok, gang glad to be here. I have a 13500 in grown pool. I have lived here for 5 years and kept the mom and pop pool service who now charge 185/month. I watched their men check the pool recently and this consisted of skimming with a basket, no vacuuming and using a dropper bottle into the pool to...
