I have been having a real problem so far this season ever since I opened the pool mid March. Dirt/dust/pollen has been collecting on the bottom of the pool in large amounts. I vacuum it up and within hours, it's back. It has been very dry here, we haven't had rain in a few weeks now. I know...

I am looking into getting the Nitelighter AGP light. I have read a few threads on here about it, but have a question that I couldn't find an answer to. Which wattage model should I get? Is the 50 watt model enough to illuminate a 24' round pool or do I need the 100 watt model? I am looking to...

This is my first hurricane season with my pool. There are a few storms lurking around in the Atlantic and we usually end up with at least one tropical storm / hurricane that gets pretty close to us here in Tampa. Close enough to take precautions anyway. Anyone have any suggestions on how to...

I had to go to the pool store yesterday to get some replacement parts for my ABG pool. While I was there I was speaking with an employee about how nice my pool has been since I have made the switch from Baquacil to chlorine. Anyway, to make a long story short, he basically told me that I am...

Added my CYA via the sock method two weeks ago. Tested my level this morning and the black dot is still easily visible at 30. According to the Pool Calculator, adding 4lbs. 9oz. (which I did) should have gotten me to a level of 40. I'm thinking it's somewhere around 20. There have been a few...

I finally found the leftover pieces from my liner install and want to use this material for patching holes in the future, however, I do have a few patches that I have installed that have turned white. My question is, is it possible to remove old patches from the liner? If so, how? If old...

My alkalinity this morning was 130. Is that too high?

I am at the final stage of my Baquacil conversion. If the FC holds tonight, then I will be done. Anyway, since my FC is low right now due to the sun, I decided to check the other levels. Here they are: TA = 120 PH = 7.5 CH = 180 Are these levels ok?

I was just wondering if the steps can be placed directly on the liner without any issues or should there be something in between the two? Like some sort of padding or material.

Yeah, it's time. I have only had a pool since the spring and fell right into the Baquacil trap. At first it was fine. But as the summer rains have progressed throughout last month, my water quality has deteriorated. I've added Oxidizer, more Sanitizer, this and that, and my water is not...
