My Chlorine Only cylinder is stained with many black spots from using the DPD powder. I have tried washing the cylinder with very minimal results. It is getting to the point that I can barely see the markings of the cylinder. Why is this happening and what can I do short of buying a new one...

Hi. We have a 24ft round AGP. When we purchased our pool as a package several years ago, an automatic cleaner came with it --we never even tried to use it until last year. I don't know what kind it is (it kind of looks like a sting Ray)..and it really didn't work well. It would get stuck in...

Hi. We have used quite successfully the BBB method for the 4th year now. I recommend this site to anyone who will listen :D My problem is that we had a bit of algae when we opened about a month ago. We SLAMmed and I believe our #'s are in line. My question/problem is that we cant seem to...

I will start off by saying I don't know what kind of pump I have (I do know I have a Hayward filter system). We came home tonight to one of the hoses being unattached from the pump. There is a couple inches of water currently surrounding it. We do have the plug with a gfci installed. I...

Hi I just wanted to know if this is normal. On 5-12, my FC was 14 and CC was 0 (after several days at or above SLAM levels). I did the overnight test and my FC only went down by 1 (sunny days) and the CC stayed at 0. I assume I was in the clear. Now 4 days later and after probably every...

I thought I was getting a handle on some of this but then in reading over various topics, now I have this question: Is there a difference between calcium hypo and regular bleach? I thought it was the same but evidently it is not. I have an AG pool w/ a vinyl liner, can using the cal hypo hurt...

hi I found this site toward the end of the swimming season last year. I just received my T100 kit in the mail and couldn't wait to try it out. Here are my numbers (along w/ numbers from pool store for comparison): T100 Pool store FC 19 10 CC 1...
