We have two Hayward ColorLogic lights we are trying to replace. It seems fairly straightforward to replace but we are unable to get the existing light out of the conduits. We have removed the light face with the special tool they provide but we can’t pull the old light fixtures out. We have been...

So we have had our pool five years now, and for the most part all has been good. This year though I have noticed a lot more "stuff" in the pool, leaves, bugs, etc. and a lot less in the skimmers. I used to put hair nets in the skimmers to capture all the small stuff and had to clean them out...

First time doing a SLAM, just opened the pool yesterday afternoon - after vacuuming most of the Crud and brushing many of the surfaces (still need to do more), I did initial water testing with my TF-100 kit: Fiberglass / SWCG pool FC = 0.0 TA = 50 CYA = 50 pH = 7.2 CH = 100 Salt = 2000 Water...

You all have helped me so much with my SWG pool that it is now easy!! Hoping to get to that same place with my hot tub, which at this point I hate. I have read everything, including the how to use Bromine sticky - our preferred method. This weekend during our unusal 2 days of summer we...

Okay I have read extensively on the chemistry and testing of Bromine and have to say I am now crosseyed and feel really dumb. There is a reason I am an accountant and not a chemist - I just don't get it, so can someone help me with the Bromine Testing for Dummies version. I don't need to know...

So I'm not crazy about my hot tub. I finally got a handle on my pool chemistry and it's so easy compared to this darn tub...but I'm working at following the advice on here and I'm really hoping, like my pool, that I come to appreciate the process more. We had our hot tub dormant for a few...

Hello All, so glad to be back and thinking about enjoying our pool. We have been inundated with phone calls from our pool builder trying to schedule our pool opening (we are not interested in using them) and I was getting ready to call the local pool store who installed and closed our pool last...

So we had our pool indoctrination yesterday, and the start up of our Nature 2 Fusion Soft system. We did not install the start up mineral cartridge that they give you, based on the discussions on TFP about the minerals. Salinity was reading .5 with an error code of 144 (low salinity) before...

When the pool guys left on Thursday (no activity on Friday) this item was left in the bottom of the pool. It's plugged into the electrical outlet and has a garden hose attached but it's not attached to a water source. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's taken two very long years from quote to construction, but here we are... Before we started... First we had to install a storm water management system... Day One... Day Two... Day Three... Day Four... No activity today :( - my fir babies are...

Has anyone used pervious concrete for their pool deck? Internet research shows that "it can be used" for pool decks but I'm not finding any examples of this being done. Wondering what anyone who has done this (if there is anyone) thinks, are you happy with it, any issues? Hoping this may be a...

So our pool construction has been delayed due to the need to get a zoning variance - ugh! No idea of when the project can get started, waiting for the zoning hearing to be scheduled. Assuming we get approval for the variance, at what point is it too late in the season to build? We live in...

Hi all, so glad to find this forum as I'm getting so much information from everyone's posts. We are soon to be new pool owners after years of discussing it. We are installing a 16' x 43' fiberglass sport pool, roman shape. We have a very large deck off the back of the house and will be placing...
