Hello everyone, I've been debating on what to do with my pool for 6 months while I am out of the country. I called the pool company to see the cost to winterize my pool. They told me in TEXAS they don't winterize the pools due to the weather not generally being too cold. I thought about...

Last year I had one patch, this year it has spread. I am convinced that this stain is coming through the plaster, perhaps with algae attaching itself to it. Could it be the gunite? any ideas, thoughts? shocking doesn't seem to budge it and it doesn't brush off. It is very rough to the touch.

Hi, I came home from work and noticed my pool pump is dead. I think it may be the timer switch but when I set it manually to come on, nothing. We had a lot of rain last night. I had previously shocked the pool and was running the pump for 24 hours and it is 93 degrees today. Is there anything I...

Hello again, My TC is way over 10. I was advised to add 30lbs of shock to bring the level down so that the FC and TC equal themselves out? make sense? anyway, my pressure has gone sky high and the filter seems to be making this knocking noise. The granular shock was diluted before I added it to...
