Any suggestions for what I can do to prevent the water that splashes from my skimmer basket from rusting my pool? I have some rust spots only in that area. Any ideas for something I can put there to protect it and prevent any more?

Opened pool 2 weeks ago, water was clear. Within a couple days it got cloudy. I have been running the filter 24/7 and followed the slam process per the instructions. It cleared up about 20% but is still cloudy. I have never had this issue in the 10 years I have had the pool. Any suggestions...

So we just had our above ground pool liner replaced. I have never started from scratch besides the initial installation 10 years ago. I want to make sure I am doing it properly. 24 round 52 high pool. Tf 100 test kit it is almost full, so do I start with chlorine to around 3 fc and then do CYA...

This is is the best pic I could get. I do think it is dead algae as it vanishes as soon as it's touched. If it is, how the heck do I get it out? I have vacuumed at least 10 times to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove dirt that settles in the fine creases in the liner at the bottom of the pool? We had a perfectly smooth bottom until this season. No matter how much I vacuum and filter, there is always dirt that settles in the creases.i have tried skimming and...

Thank you! I slammed earlier this summer so I will try that again.

24 foot, 2.0 hp waterway pump, tk2006 kit Chlorine 1.0 Ph 7.2 It was literally an instant change to cloudy when I added the algecide

My pool was perfectly clear but I noticed a little algae along the edges. I added algecide per the instructions and 10 minutes later my water is extremely cloudy and I can't see the bottom. I haven't tested the levels of anything else yet but any suggestions as to why that small amount would...

There is a very small drip where the skimmer hose meets the pump. Drips about once every 5 seconds.

Hello, I am having a strange issue with my pump/filter. I have a 150 cartridge filter and 1.5hp pump. Every time it shuts off, it pumps any water that should be left in the filer back into the pool. I have to manually refill the filter when I want to turn it back on. It randomly started...

The first add was after sundown, I retested, added more but no I did not retest until morning. It was at 3, it held all day yesterday and last night and is still at 3 as of right now. Is that an acceptable number since it is now holding? This is the first time in 3 weeks it has held anything

Ok. So I went home and got the FC up to 10. After about an hour it was down to about 5. I brought it back up (this was after sundown) I tested it the next morning and it was at 5. After work I tested again and it was down to 3. It held steady there all night. Is this ok or should I take further...

I have a 24' 15,000 gallon. Ok, so I should get it to about 6ppm, wait 10 mins and test, if it stays, then do the OCLT. If it doesnt hold, keep adding and testing every 10 mins until it does and then do the OCLT? thanks for the help!

I have been reading this site for a while and quickly learned to get rid of the test strips...I have the TK2006!

Hello. I am looking for some advice. I have not been able to keep my FC above .5 since I opened my pool about a month ago. When we opened it, we had about a 75% water loss. We re-filled the pool, Added CYA, and proceeded to balance accordingly. as of right now CYA = 74 PH= 7.2 TA = 110 TC=...
