It was creeping to the ~7.8 range and I added too much acid and now I'm around 6.8. Should I be concerned or should I let it right itself?

Hello all, Just uncovered my pool this week and it was pretty well green. After some bad advice and a few lessons learned I came to you guys to get me straight. I thought I won the war on algae but noticed it's creeping back. I've been testing my water daily and yesterdays numbers were FC...

This is my first year with the pool. Last year the water was new. This year I had a pretty decent amount green on the bottom floor. I got my PH down to 7.2 and started shocking (10ppm currently.) Anyway, my starting point of my filter (60 sqft Pentair DE) is 17psi. It will quickly climb up...

Hey all. I had my pool closed by the same company that's been doing the job for 15 years. This season I pulled the cover off and noticed 2 of return, rubber, plugs had fallen out at some point. Leaving them to fill completely with water. For how long I don't know. We had a pretty bad...

Hello all, Just got my pool re-plastered July 30th. I may keep it open for another week or two. Any special considerations I need to keep in mind because it's so new? Thanks

My pool resurfacer said he has been doing a lot of pools lately without tiles. He's bringing the plaster right to the coping. Thoughts?

And what role does this play? Is it just something that improves the overall look of the pool or is there some structural quality associated with a resurface? Is that the gunite showing?

Hello all, Just as the title says. The cover is still on the pool and from what I can see from peaking through it, it's pretty green. I've been getting opinions but am looking for more. Would you try to get it clear chemically or just drain and start over? Thanks, Rich
