    Drain/Fill and Balance Questions...

    As it gets warmer out, I am going to try and drain and refill my pool myself. It is a pebbletec pool in the Phoenix area - Gilbert. Is it still safe to drain my pool with temperatures coming into the 90s? Do I need to be worried about hydrostatic valves, or can I just rent a pump and start...

    New Pool/Old Water - Algae issues
