I've noted that some folks are using solar to run their pool pumps. We bought our house a few years ago and inherited an older in ground pool with a slide. The water tubes to the slide have long since deteriorated, and the spa hose was no longer connected into the system, and got removed when...

We just replaced our liner, and decided against replacing the old pool light. The liner is in and the old pool light enclosure is covered. I know most of the solar products are junk, but ran across this light while searching. It appears to be a lot brighter than others and claims to be top...

If I'm breaking the rules - please let me know. I was looking for a recommendation for someone in the Raleigh NC area for an in ground vinyl liner replacement - 16x32 21-22k gallons. I have 3 quotes so far from places that are fairly well known to the area. They all seem reputable and the...

Once again - I outsmarted myself thinking I would get away with opening the pool before the swamp took hold. A few warm days in February and March took care of that. Current chemistry: Chlorine: 0 PH: 8+ adding 8 drops of acid demand bring it back into range - 9 drops instantly turn it yellow...

Thought I'd post some pics of my spring slam: Saturday 4/11 around 12:30 - treating with muriatic acid and waiting for ph to come down - CYA is less than 30 - estimated it around 10 - but I started the slam assuming 30. FC is a negative number at this point - and the NC spring pollen clouds...

Opening the pool and starting the SLAM today. I've got a swamp this year - and the frogs that have moved in are in for a big surprise... The chart for CYA SLAM level with an SWG starts at 60. My CYA is in the 30's as far as I can tell. PH is 8+. Once I get the PH balanced - what is the...

My equipment pad is located directly behind a shed that sits near the pool. All the electrical boxes and the salt cell controller are mounted on the back of the shed. I need to move the shed and want to re-mount the boxes onto a post or something similar. Anyone have any suggestions or photos...

We usually have the local pool guys come out and open our pool, but this year we've decided we'll save the money and do this ourselves. We have few trees around and did not use a cover. There's a few leftover leaves in the deep end, but other than a bit of algae on the liner, we look pretty...

I was just checking on algae control and shock prices in anticipation of slamming the green velvet coating on my pool this spring. I ran across a product called GreenCleanMax: http://www.newtechbio.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25&products_id=222 I called the company out...

I decided to close the pool this winter - betting that the Raleigh NC area is going to have a colder then normal winter(according to Farmer's Almanac). After shocking the pool and winterizing the filter and pumps, algae has grown and I've now got a nice green swamp. I've considered buying a...
