I just purchased a Circupool RJ 60+ and I have a question about the best way to operate. Is it better to run it longer duration at a lower power or higher power for a shorter duration? I know I need to generate x amount of chlorine and can get there either way. Thanks

After two months of working on this pool in my spare time, I am finally done! Thanks to all who helped answer questions along the way.

Looks like Walmart in my area has stopped carrying 10% bleach in my area of Oklahoma City. Does anyone know where else to buy it? Home depot has some, but it is from 2017 at the store I looked at. Pool stores do not carry liquid chlorine here either. Thanks.

First off thank you to all that help in the forum. I just replaced my Intex style pool that I had a SWCG on and never had a problem maintaining FC. I did not like the SWCG because every time I back washed my sand filter, I temporarily discolored my grass. With this new pool I have installed a...

Just put water in my pool last Tuesday, so it has been a week. Currently I am adding a gallon of 10% chlorine a day to my pool with a CYA of 30. The pool gets direct sunlight all day long. Is there a recommended CYA level so I am not using quite so much chlorine each day? I am currently...

Just got my new pool installed two days ago and with it I got a Dolphin Active 20. Is it OK to start using it already? They told me to wait a week before swimming in the pool so I would not get footprints in the bottom. Thanks.

Has anyone set up a Stenner pump on a above ground pool? I am trying to figure out where I could put a tank and keep it out of the sun. Looking for automation. Putting in a new 24' round Trevi AGP and want automation without salt. Using a Pentair Superflow VS pump and 24'' sand filter. Thanks.

Has anyone used hydrogen peroxide to sanitize your pool? It seems this might be a alternative to chlorine. I do not know, just wondering. Here is an article about it. I am just wondering if it really works. https://www.weedemandreap.com/convert-pool-natural-swimming-pool-hydrogen-peroxide/

Hi, I am looking to buy a 24' Aqua leader Element pool. Pool store is recommending a Pentair 1.5 hp 2 speed pump and 250 lb sand filter. They say that glass media in the filter will be best, because it does not need to be ever replaced. Is this true? Also, I am trying to decide between a...

Just looking at the many pool build threads here. So many beautiful pools! Eventually, I am going to have a pool installed in my yard when funds allow. Something that I would like to have is my pool equipment enclosed in a building or such. I was thinking about a pool side cabana with a room...

So I am wanting to get a fiberglass pool next year. We have a really good builder here. The thing I cannot get over is the cost. We are looking between $30K and $50K for a pool in the size I like. How are you guys paying for these? Are you paying cash, financing? Just wondering, as I have...

I was sitting out in my yard yesterday and decided that I do not like the looks of the pool pump, filter and SWG right next to my pool. I have decided to put it all in a storage shed like this 15' from my pool: So, my question is, what type of pump do I need to buy to accomplish this? I have...

First test using new TF-100 and Taylor salt test Salt = 4600ppm FC = 3.5 CC=.5 CYA=30 CH=375 TA=180 PH=8.2 I am guessing I need to add some cyanuric acid to bring up CYA and muriatic acid to lower PH. What do you guys think?

Where is the best place to buy cyanuric acid and muriatic acid? I don't shop at Walmart. Thanks.

Scott here from sunny and hot Oklahoma! I just installed a 14' Summer Escapes pool. I modified it with a Hayward Skimmer, 2800 GPH Intex pump and sand filter with the Intex SWG. I just ordered my TF-100 test kit with the speed stir, sample sizer and salt test. I look forward to hanging out...
