I have a 27 foot above ground round pool. Every year I battle with this thing to keep the leaves out/off of it because the cover invariably sinks back into the water, I get leaves in the water and the water is green and it takes me gallons upon gallon of chlorine to SLAM it. Pillows ain't...

Sounds like a stupid question but wait...I want the cover to fit taught on the pool, I want to hang water filled jugs around it so it pulls tight, which will make it easy to keep the leaves off of it. Pool covers often have 3-4 feet of extra material, which would make my plan difficult. So, am...

Mine is pretty balanced but still green. I've shocked the heck out of it and it's still light green. I'm keeping it running and keeping the filter backwashed every four hours or so. Time will tell I guess. How long does it typically take to clear up?

A friend of mine has high copper levels in his pool. How can he get it down?

I'm Peter from central (M)assachusetts (the M is optional). I've had a 27' round above ground pool for three years now. My wife and I use it every day if possible (I guess my son likes it too :-D ) I've never had any issues with it until this season when the spider gasket in the top of the...

I have a Pent-Air auto chlorinator that doesn't appear to be feeding enough (or any) chlorine into the pool. I checked and made sure the two small black hoses running out of it are clear, water runs through them just fine. I took a test strip and stuck it right where the water feeds back into...
