    Dual Brush Attachment

    Anyone know if there is such an animal as a dual brush attachment? I'm wanting to put two brushes on one pole (side-by-side to make one wide brush) to speed up pool brushing on the walls and floor.

    I have a Gunite pool with some plaster separation in several places. One spot cracked open completely when I stepped on it. I chipped away the loose plaster with my hand to reveal about 5" diameter circle where the concrete is exposed. There may be 5 or 6 other places like this on the floor of...

    Liquid Chlorine Only Question

    First off, I have read the "How to Chlorinate Your Pool" article in Pool School (BTW, I love Pool School). What do you recommend for a pool that is not "my pool"? I service some pools (cleaning and chemical balance) and want to do this the best and most cost effective way. Liquid chlorine...

    Crazy Chems

    OK....After reading a bunch of stuff on here I fairly sure I've been "Pool Stored." After weeks of clear water, I dumped about $200 worth of chemicals (per pool store computer generated suggestions) in my pool last week to combat slight haze and some algae. A week later my FC is high at least...
