I have been chlorinating by manually adding liquid chlorine for years now, but lately I've been wondering if the Liquidator would be a worth while upgrade. We are considering selling our house this summer and may move out while our house is on the market, but I wouldn't want to have to stop by...

So after ruling out some incorrect guesses, I now think I have a suction side air leak that is only noticeable when vacuuming. Ever since we installed our new pump, the pump basket partially fills with air the second the vacuum hose is plugged in. At first I thought the problem was the hose...

Help! My pool pump stopped working! My other half has tried resetting the breaker and is currently looking up how to check if something is stuck in the impeller... but I'm afraid it might be dead :( Is there anything else we can try?

I'm finally getting ready to tackle some pool repairs that are long overdue. We bought our house pool several years ago and there have been a lot of general maintenance type things that the previous owners let slide. Next on my list is fixing the area imediately surrounding the pool, namely...

Long story short, life has been busy and we've been sort of spotty about proper water maintenance in our spa. I've been using the TFP method for a while but there is not as much detailed information about spas. I've already balanced the water, but the FC had dropped to 0 for who knows how long...

Well I thought I had all this TFP stuff figured out, but I am currently 6 days post SLAM and found several areas with green algae on the wall in the deep end :pale:. Obviously I need to SLAM again, but I'm not sure what happened. I have been checking my levels every day or two and FC has never...

What we thought was a burned out light bulb turned out to be a tripped breaker after a storm. While troubleshooting we removed the lens to look at the bulb. At this point the light works again but I have a question before putting it back in the water. I've read that some people replace the...

Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to do an Ascorbic Acid treatment for metal staining. I also need to do two 50% water draining cycles to get my CYA and CH levels in a better range. Since the AA Treatment simply pulls the metal stains back into solution I figured I would do that first so the water...

We bought a house that came with a pool about 5 months ago. Now that I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the water balancing side of things I would like to start figuring out what is needed to fix up the rest. There are three main things in the immediate vicinity of the water that I...

I'm trying to respond to a thread but I got an automated message that said it found a curse word in my post. Since I have no intention of cursing I re-read my desired post several times and cannot figure out what part the computer thinks is a curse word.

I got my test kit a couple days ago and have been focusing on my pool (New Home Owner - Green Pool) but now I'm ready to get control of my spa too (they are separate). We replaced the spa water about a month ago and have up to now only used dichlor and ph down (sodium bisulphate). The spa is...

Hi everyone, I'm a new homeowner and after a miscommunication about who was adding chlorine to the pool, it's now green. It's been green for about a week now and I've been testing the water with the test strips the previous owner left us and adding extra chlorine and some of the algy stuff the...
