I have a hot tub attached to my pool and it has 6 returns. In those 6 returns there are 6 eyeballs but I always felt that was boring. Please tell me I'm not the only person that finds that boring. The only "cool" return I could find was a Waterways rotating eyelet, but when I tried to buy them...

I have a raypak p-r406a-en-c (natural gas) unit and I'm having a flame rollout problem. I looked at the flue and it's clear. There's no obvious issues (no dead beasties). No obvious damage. I tried adjusting the pressure a bit, 3/4 of a turn counter clockwise didn't change the flame height...

On a whim I decided to try to look up the reagents and identify what they are exactly. I suppose as a good parent, I should know what each chemical is and what to do in case is was to be ingested or get into someone's eye. The one that made me worried was my large bottle of R-013 that I can...

Just curious about this one..... Everything was balanced when I closed, but I will admit to throwing a bunch of bleach in pretty close to closure, so I suppose that could have driven ph up. Just opened, pool looks nice, I played around and I'm almost balanced: FC 3.5 CC <.5 ph 8.2 originally...

I've read a bunch of the lighting threads, but I have some questions, so I'm throwing myself on the mercy of the TFP experts: Background ----------- - I agree with what I've read a bunch of times in a bunch of threads: My solar lights stink. - I have a Jandy AquaLink RS6 control unit. Aux 6...

I have a small hole in my solid safety pool cover that is allowing the water that sits in the cover to mingle with the pool. It's maybe 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and "L" shaped. I'm obviously not pumping it out since that would ultimately pump out the pool water. Looking under the cover the other...

I seem to have read somewhere that you should wait about a half hour after adding the liquid chlorine before you take a baseline measurement. That doesn't work for me at all. I suspected that I might have some algae in my pool, so it was time to give her a shock. Using the pool calculator I...

I'm new to all of this, so I look forward to your answers. So far, I've used the Purifiber and Aquaperl. I heard that you need to watch DE because it can hurt you if you accidently breathe it in. Are the two I've used better in that respect? Is there anything else I need to watch out for...

Background: New plaster pool 1 week old. I did order my test kit, because the pool store totally hosed me with the Taylor kit purchase. Right now I'm relying on pool store numbers. Pool yesterday = cloudy but not green. FC - .1 pH - 8.2 TA - 115 CH - 135 I added 1/2 gallon of Muriatic...

I understand the process outlined in pool school for shocking your pool. This question is a little different however. Let's say you were having a party at your house. Let's also assume that a young child was playing on your sunshelf when it was discovered that they were packing a deuce in...

Thanks for the help so far...but being a pool newbie, I have new pool questions.....This time on filters: 1st: In the new plaster pool I've seen the filter pressure jump up to "clean me please" 2 times so far in the first week. Although everything I read says this is normal (Yes, I'm...

I'm new to TFP and new to pool ownership. Here is our new pool on Day 1. It isn't even opened yet. Ignore the landscaping or lack thereof, though I did mow the lawn since the picture.

Hi guys, I found this site over the weekend. (Great website BTW) I just had the plaster and water put in yesterday. So here is what I thought I would do and I'm coming here for a sanity check. The PB (I assume that means Pool Builder...it's not in your acronym list in Pool School)...
