    Hillside washed into pool 3x since April...pool is a pond!

    I've said it before and I'm saying it again...I would NEVER have built this pool this way. I inherited a mess that just continues to plague me. I literally have no clue how many times the hillside above my home has washed into my pool. It is usually at least once a year. It has happened 3x...

    pH over 45? Is that even possible?

    My pool is a green slimy mess again. I have removed the leaves, brushed the walls, vac'd to waste, and cleaned the cartridges. Now, I am ready to slam this thing. I tested my water using the Taylor TF-100 (kit purchased new last year.) My pH was too high to get a reading using the...

    Citric acid for $2/14 oz at the local feed store

    I finally found a local source for citric acid. My local feed store has it in 410 gm (a little over 14 oz) packages. I got almost 6 pounds for $12 and some change. I also got a 50# bag of baking soda for $14, and they were able to get me a better price on muriatic acid than my local hardware...

    I almost forgot this part!

    Please forgive my faux pas in failing to introduce myself. I almost forgot to do it. My name is Stephani. We live in Arkansas, and I am a new BBB convert. Since I asked a question before I remembered to introduce myself, I now have the opportunity to say, "thank you!" for all the wonderful...

    Heavily stained fg pool with red/rust scale? (pics attached)

    I have read so much on here that my eyes are crossing. I truly don't know what is wrong with my pool, and our dear friends are expecting to have their daughter's birthday party here in 3 days! Here is the background: I believe the pool was installed in 2000. When I bought the house, there was...
