I recently changed from a Hayward Max Flow VS pmp to a Jandy Pro FLow. The change over is another story entirely, which I have yet to post and will not get into that this time. The new Jandy was installed by a certified pool company to maintain the warranty. The flow rate on the Jandy is higher...

Once again it seems every year about this time I start to see a thing that looks like sediment/dirt forming on the flat surfaces- steps-sitting ledges and it appears to be on the wall at the deep end. Obviously when I brush, the water get cloudly. Before brushing the water looks really clear in...

Ok here we go. I have started to notice lately since the weather here in N Texas has started a warming trend. My chlorine level was a lot lower than normal history of my pool would be. During the winter I keep it open and supplement the FC with bleach. So the last few days I have experienced...

I started noticing a brown/green layer in the pool in a few areas such as ledges and a few areas on the wall. The water appeared to be clear. Once it was brushed and vacuumed obviously the water would get cloudy. This started 3 or 4 days ago. I have replaced the cartridge filter with my clean...

My question is this. What is everyone doing to combat high water temps (90-94F) and keep your PH in balance. I know that there is no simple or easy way. Otherwise everyone would do it. :D Thru reading on this forum and learning from others the process that I know for my situation with a SWG...
