I don't post much....mostly lurk. Started reading this board last year this time and used the knowledge gained to recover my swamp starting in April this year. I'm proud to report the following numbers: FC: 4 CC: 0 TC: 4 TA: 90 PH: 7.5 CH: 50...Low but I don't think it matters in my vinyl lined...

After a long SLAM I now have a beautiful sparkling pool to play in. I have 2 girls ages 5 and 8. Both are very good swimmers after a year of learning last summer. This past weekend was the first time in this year and they were perfectly happy just swimming around. I know that won't last long and...

Yes I'm running the pump 24/7. My main drain was open but I'm pretty sure it was covered with leaves until yesterday. I turned the main off for about 10 mins and ran my hose powered leaf catcher over it and filled the bag about half way. I think the suction was preventing me from getting them...

Looking for some advice on adding DE to my sand filter. I've been slamming for about 2 weeks. FC is holding pretty steady at this point and CC has been 0 for a week. Water has not cleared up though. I deep cleaned the sand and yesterday afternoon decided to add a little DE to help speed up the...

My motor has been running sluggish today and just a few minutes ago the start capacitor blew. Any where I can run and pick one of these up or do I need to order online. Thanks...I'm 8 days into a SLAM and hate for this to set me back a few days.

Found the "ring" I was looking for . It is a Basket Support Ring. Part number Hayward 1082D.

I'm new to the site but I can help some with your fears of having a pool and not using it. My girls are 8 and 5, I wouldn't trade having a pool for anything. We bought a house with one and I was skeptical but it is very worth it. I'm sure you've had the "what should we do with the kids this...

Yeah I looked it up and it was 6%. Not a terrible deal at $1.98 but I'll stick with the WalMart at $2.94 I've been buying. I saw the pool chlorinator at the super walmart for $2.50 but that store is all the way across town. I'd prefer to get the great value brand bleach at the neighborhood...

It is dark now but I will take some tomorrow. I wish I had taken some last week....the frogs would have posed for me I'm sure. And good news my parents fired the pool store boys this afternoon and she ordered her test kit! Got another convert!

Hello TFP! A little background on my pool situation. I bought my house out of foreclosure last year this time with the bonus of a beautiful vinyl swamp in the back yard. I did the typical pool store thing last year. Was able to get the pool clear for all of last summer but I knew something...

INGLES in Anderson, SC has store brand for $1.98. Problem is strength is not listed on the bottle. I'm guessing it is 6% or so based on price and no marking. Thoughts? It was produced this month so at least it is fresh. I haven't bought any bc I don't know the strength and wanted to hear...
