    Pad under steps

    Pad is 36x30. Does anyone cut theirs so it only is under the feet/legs of the stairs? I can picture stuff getting trapped under it and being a good spot for algae to grow.

    Added about 12” of well water which we know has a high ph. Added powdered cya a week ago and some 12.5% bleach. three days later, three days ago pH 7.8 FC 1.0 CC 0.0 TA 200 CYA 30-40 So I add enough acid to drop pH to 7.0-7.2 and FC to 5.0. Aerating the last three days by pointing the eye...

    Different feet make a difference!

    Why oh why didn’t I know this! Above ground pool. These cork feet make the Hayward AquaBug run like never before. Thanks pool install company for telling me this years ago. Not. https://smile.amazon.com/Hayward-AXV014FNP-Cork-Replacement-Cleaner/dp/B002XUZ58M

    Filter blew at seam

    My pool installer is checking with their rep. I also just got off the phone with Hayward. After explaining what happened, the lady asked me if I used the manual to troubleshoot the problem. after repeating that the seam broke, this time telling her there is a hole, which is more like a crack...

    Filter blew at seam

    On hold with Hayward. apparently I want PN SX210AA1 $250-350! does come with laterals but no valve or clamp. $450 with new valve. Is it worth it?

    Filter blew at seam

    Any reason not to go with a bigger one, like the 27”?

    Filter blew at seam

    I saw that one but was hoping to be able to buy just the body since the valve is fine. If I buy the whole thing, it comes with everything but sand, correct?

    I have a 30’ round radiant pool with a Hayward pro series top mount high-rate sand filter S210T And a Vari-Flo XL SP0714T on top. so far I only checked Amazon and all those for sale include both. what’s the best place to buy just the filter body? And should I upgrade to something else? pump...

    Water balancing

    That’s how mine was last year. 7.2-7.4 and never moved. TA 120-140. I like stability in my life LOL.

    Water balancing

    Thanks. Reading here I was under the impression I need to drop pH to 7.0-7.2 then aerate or I would be chasing pH. Last year I never added MA. this year I’ve been through two gallons already.

    Water balancing

    I know this is a personal preference. Would you bother dropping TA? current use has pH bounce 7.4 to 8. FC 2.0 (adding half gallon of 12.5% when done swimming) CC 0.0 TA 180 pH 7.6 CYA 40 AGP radiant 30’ 21,200 gallons South side of house Centra NY

    Best AGP skimmer cover

    We lower it below the eye. Then the pressure on the cover lowers it way below the skimmer which is what we were hoping to avoid. last year I pumped the water from the cover into the pool. Too many decomposed leaves.

    Best AGP skimmer cover

    We lost way too much water IMO this year due to using this. Anything better? Where do you measure? My measurements don’t match anything out there. Sponsor or best place to purchase? need an eye also. Thanks.
