my sylvan built pool never had this gap filled. i just learned of it's importance. there is a foam cell insert that has dropped deeply into the gap, and of course is now covered with twigs and leaves and dirt. the depth of this gap seems to be 3-4 inches deep, once i pull out the old dirty...

i used cheap hth walmart brand algaecide - it worked, killed the green algae. but now, anytime we jump or dive in, a bubble bath ensues. it's been 3 weeks and we're still bubbly. is there any way to get rid of the bubbles? can i use a foam reducer stuff for a hot tub in my pool? thanks in...

it's taking me forever, and no matter how long i stir it in the bucket, it's still granular. any suggestions?

had Leslie's test my pool water last night while i bought a new pool cleaner. i'm BBB, and test at home, except for CYA. they said i have NO CYA. I expected that, since i don't use pucks. but now i'm left wondering, do i need a little CYA? or is it pointless to have any at all? thanks

both are pressure cleaners that don't require a booster pump. the difference in price is $225! i have an I/G, gunite, 20x45ft, 3-9.5ft deep free form pool. not alota debris/no major leafing trees. i don't like my old and decripit jandy rayvac, it won't make it into the shallow end anymore...

i'm trying to run my pH in the low 6 range to get rid of the scale, but my taylor test tube only shows a low of 6.8 - does anyone know how i can acurately measure any lower?

Just noticed this over the past 1-2 weeks: When I turn on the pool filter (6 y.o. Pentair DE thingy) a cloud of DE blows out into the pool from the returns. It is a 2-4 second cloud accompanied by alota air bubbles too. Then, it all goes away. I've looked for leaks and can't find any. I...

my 5 yr. old jandy ray vac (big white plastic diamond shaped pool cleaner) won't leave the deep end except on rare occasions, frequently gets stuck in a corner or half way up a wall (finally unstuck when the autoreverse kicks in), and lastly circles quite often. I have called jandy, and they...
