Hi, I am looking at buying a home, the pool has this in the bottom, I took a picture but honestly I cannot tell what it is besides it appears that the concrete looks like bigfoot stepped in it and cracked the bottom. Please tell me some thoughts because if this is a crack, can it be fixed with...

Hello, so my water is sparkling clear at all times, but once warmer weather hits (Texas, haha), I start getting that nasty light algae on the walls of the pool. It really doesn't matter on chlorine levels, I can keep it near 10ppm and it still will start when it drops below 4ppm. My ph is fine...

Take a look at the pictures and tell me if this is ok? I called the dealer and they said it's ok. One day I noticed that I could see the white roller and I never saw it before (I think). Just doesn't look right. This is the larger front roller. My cleaner only has probably 30 hours on it, I...

Well after reading a gazillion posts on robots, and doing the math, visiting a semi-local dealer, I finally made a decision and went with the S300. I don't need a phone app, just a cleaner I can turn on and off, and so glad I got the cart (comes with the S300). All I can say is my pool had no...

Well I finally rid my pool of CYA, which for years was way way over 100. Now it is zero. Mainly from using liquid chlorine and no tabs. Here is my question, with the heat 95-99+, I am using between 1-2 gal. of chlorine a day and that still barely maintains a 1ppm or less at the end of the day...

I previously posted about using an SWG, but we came up with another important question, my dogs drink out of the chlorinated pool like crazy. I actually have to chase them away since it will be super chlorinated at times, since they don't seem to care. Anyway, does anyone with dogs still have...

I talked with a neighbors pool builder about an SWG like he installed for my neighbors pool. Theirs is similar to mine with tile and then flagstone rock coping. He the pool builder advised me not to switch to SWG as it will eat away at my flagstone coping and my pool will be full of sand...

I have the chance to buy an appx 3 year old DX4 cleaner that looks in great condition from a customer of mine. It has not been used in a year, but was working great when they sold their home with a pool. Are these good? Should I be concerned about the age? If I have to rebuild, the cost could...

So my Viper has seen it's days. Need a new pool cleaner, thinking of 280 Black Max for pressure, but would not mind a cleaner pool with a robotic. After reading almost every single post, now I want nothing. There were no reviews that just slammed the door shut on the best and most reliable. For...

Wow, I cannot find my K-2006 book with treatment table, and went online and realized Taylor does not have it on their site, what company does not put manuals online? Oh yeah Taylor. Ridiculous, but now I tested my Ph which was always perfect, but now at 8.0 or more and took 8 drops of R-005...

here is the deal, a very small amount of Minwax wood oil based stain was spilled in the pool, my guess is a teaspoon or less. Of course it looked like an oil spill on the water, it dissipated fairly quickly. Any chemist's out there see any issue, health wise or water quality wise? This was a...

Hello, and thanks for any input. I am still learning this pool chemistry thing. My CYA is off the charts, what I want to know to avoid this in the future is what causes this? (commercial chlorine tabs?) Ok, I tried Bio whatever to reduce CYA, worked somewhat, but did not work is the summary. I...

Anyone use the Rola-Chem pump system for injecting liquid chlorine?<br>

Has anyone used the new product for removing high levels of CYA? I am at 200. BIO-ACTIVE reducer is the product, and I cannot afford to do a water exchange with water restrictions. Thanks.

Okay, NOW I find one thread on the use of copper algaecide, well too late I used it. The pool store just kept recommending it. My cynauric acid level is 200 and I questioned getting that down first, but they kept saying do the copper first. Well I did, and then read more on it here. So I have...
