    ABP Closing San Diego

    I have a 15'x48" AG metal frame intex I don't plan on using for next several months. I would like to leave up but want to reduce costs and maintenance. I also have young children and the idea of draining it sounds appealing just so I don't have to worry about them drowning. I have a fence up...

    PH swinging wildly

    Seeking guidance. PH is 8 one day and the next 7 Seems to stay within 7-8 range but the fluctuation within range varies wildly from one day to the next (especially when I put the cover on). I'm hesitant to add chemicals due to daily differences happening on their own. Thanks!

    PH and Water Temp

    I just started using a pool cover and it has caused water temp to rise. I have read on here that this may cause PH to change. Water is definitely warmer, maybe 5-7 degrees. My question is, do I need to add muriatic acid if PH reading goes up every time it does if it is related to a water temp...

    A bit confused

    FC 1.6 PH 7.0 TA 130 Has been great for a week. When I left this morning at 7AM all was great. Not sure what happened. Did do some digging in yard and there is dust on bottom of pool. Maybe that's why? Or sunlight stronger today. I added 24oz of liquid bleach at 8.25% and 24oz of borax...

    Fresh Fill

    As title reads, just filled pool. Currently do not have circulation system and won't for a few days til parts arrive. I was advised by site moderator to keep FC at 2PPM and manually agitate water to mix in bleach for now. I only filled pool to right below the intake hole for now because I will...

    Adapter B for hose connection

    Has anyone had experience with having to purchase these adaptors after upgrading pump and filter? Pool came with 1 1/4 and I need 1 1/2 connections. Do I just hook them up or do I need to hook them to plunger? My pump didn't come with plungers so all I have is the outlets protruding from pool...

    Conundrum

    Just set up pool and filled with water. I set up upgraded sand filter and came to the realization that the hose adaptors aren't compatible with pool inlets. So I ordered on Amazon. Problem is it'll be a week before they arrive and I don't want a pond by the time they get here. Can I treat with...

    Newbie ready to fill pool

    New to site. New to being pool-care giver. I do have half a brain, am eager to learn, have limited time, but like philosophy and atmosphere I've seen so far on this site. Excited to give BBB METHOD a go! At this point I'm not sure if my last post went in, so I'll retry. I'm getting ready...
