I have a question regarding this product. So, I was looking for the cheapest chlorine, and Walmart has it for $5.60/g 10% Pool Essesntials. As I looked around though, I found Rural King has a 4 pack of 10% CDS Liquid Chlorinator for $15/4g. Reading the label on CDS though it says "One of...

I have a mesh cover. Usually it is crystal clear unless the cover falls in. I don't remember when I used to close it before last year though. Definitely not after labor day but maybe around then.

You think it would be a literal swamp if I did? Last year I think I closed it about 3 weeks from now, and when I opened it / with a partial cover drop in the pool, it took one day to be crystal clear. Is a couple of weeks really gonna be a drastic change? I did read you should wait until below...

I am in Southwest PA. Our temperatures are gonna be in the 70s (maybe low 80s) going forward and high 50s to 60s at night mostly. I wanted to close my pool next Monday or Tuesday. Is there anything that would prevent me from closing it then?

Don't mean to steal this guy's thunder but is there a limit to what is too much FC? I have never had it take so long to clear my pool up and it seems like I have no forward momentum. Can my chlorine level be too high?

Go out this morning and below the pump is dry and there is no leaking at all. That's confusing. Maybe it just needed to run some to seal properly? So confused.

I actually was just talking to my buddy. He said it won't cause damage but it's a bad seal. I said I think it's leaking on the screws themselves and suggested taking the strainer housing off and tightening the screws. He said I could do that and check the seal, call the place and have them...

I just bought an entirely new system. I didn't replace anything onto the old one. This is completely brand new. As in like 5 minute old upon turning on. Lol. Every last piece is new.

It needs to be fixed as this will cause a major issue if not fixed? (I am a bit perturbed I have a problem with a pump within 30 seconds of having it!).

Hayward PowerFlo Matrix 2 speed 1.5 HP pump. Having issues. First pump, I knew was kind of messed up. My kid bent it and caused it to start leaking. Was end of season and with only 8 hours of run time and low speed, it barely dripped enough to matter. We weathered the rest of the season...

Not an expert. But first thing you are going to be told is to stop going to a pool store that makes money by selling you more products.

I put it into a bucket then poured it in with water from the pool. It seemed to dissolve by time it hit the bottom. Idk how much calcium it will add. I did a CH test for the first time ever before and it was 40.

How do you add granular cal hypo? They have 5 lbs for 9.99 at Ollie's. = /

I don't think I have an ace hardware near me. Walmart cancelled my order though. = / Okay we do have one nearby but only showing hth liquid chlorinator for $6 a gallon. = /

My Walmart says it has pool essentials in stock for pick up today. My fiancee is there right now and they have nothing shelved, say there is none, and are trying to push her to a single quart of great value bleach. I ordered 10 gallons of the pool essentials online for pick up. See if they...

I don't test for it because I have a vinyl liner.

Our Walmart isn't letting anyone buy more than a QUART of bleach at a time in our area. Chlorinating liquid seems sold out everywhere. Etc. What have you all been doing to find the cheapest prices this year?

Okay! That's what I thought!

Test results TA 60 Ph 7.2 Slam completed. But, I am getting a cya of black dot still visible when full. I think it's relatively at 20ish. So, I am adding more cya to get it hopefully to 30. But, can they swim in the mean time if the sock is in the pool? FC is 5 right now.

Well, that ain't gonna work. There isn't any bubbles in the pump pot. = /

Just watched a video about using a hose to find it. Gonna try that now.

Got the pool all ready to open. Currently slamming it while adding CYA, and I have an air leak! So, let me start off by saying every year I have problems with my pressure side hose return to the pool with leaks. I bought a new hose. Got it on. Realized my 3 way diverter was leaking where a...

Do yinz recommend solar covers, liquid solar cover, heaters, rings, etc? My other half keeps complaining she wants a solar cover for the pool because she wants the pool warmer. I, however, know that she will never be able to keep up with removing it and putting it back on and so on. What are...

Okay sounds good. Thanks.

So what should I do? Just not replace it?

Have a cartridge filter in a pod. Above the cartridge is a relatively slender plastic container with black caps on it that has little blue pebble like media in it. The cap came off and all it came out last year. Trying to find some of this stuff to buy and re put in the container in the pod...

Thanks. Any recommendations on a pump?

Pool was crystal clear under the cover. Top of cover had some nasty stuff on top. Told my partner to slowly walk forward with me on the cover. They dropped their end in. Boo. Whole pool is green now. Have begun to slam. I was so close to having a perfect pool at start up! So close...
