Hi All, I have a 13200 gal plaster pool. The water was a little green at the start of the season, so I shocked it and have been keeping SWCG at 80%. Water is now clear and blue, but I have black algae spots all over the bottom and walls. I tried scrubbing them off, but they are pretty resistant...

Hi, I have a 13200 gallon pool (around 31' length freeform) with a Hayward Astrolite pool light (500W bulb). I like to have the light on in the late evening, but didn't use it much because of the high wattage. After much research, I found a 250W equivalent bright white LED bulb that uses 25W at...

Hi All, We've had our pool for a couple of years now. Everything has been going well so far. This season, i'm seeing some green stains on the sides of the pool in the deep end (6ft). I've been pretty thorough with keeping the chlorine level up and brushing. Brushing will lighten the stains, but...

Hi All, I've had the pool for about a month, so still fairly new at this. Have been following the Pool Math calculator and it has been working well at maintaining all the levels. Over the last few days however, the FC level is stuck between 2 and 3, whenever i test it. All other levels are...

Hi All, I'm hoping some of you can help with this concern. As part of my pool build, we had the PB include a 32 inch scupper as a water feature. PB told us it would be like a waterfall, with water cascading out of the scupper into the pool 12 inches below. The scupper is basically a rectangular...

Hi All, i have a Hayward 500W light in my recently completed pool. I was checking the diameter of the light yesterday to order a colored cover for it. I noticed that the light is not completely secure in the housing. There's a screw on top that holds it in place but I can wiggle the light a...

Hi, I found this product on Amazon. It seems to be a pretty good auto fill solution for a reasonable price. Just wondering if anyone has used it and if so, what their experience has been like. Thanks. G

Hi, this may seem like an odd question, but I'm just trying to make sure my PB is doing things correctly. our contract says 12" raised beam with 32" scupper. All the plumbers did was plumb a return pipe into the cavity, and then after the gunite was poured, the tile guys cut off the top of the...

We bought 2 for our pool currently in progress. They're $25 apiece and there's an in store coupon for $10 off $50 purchase. Variety of colors and designs. hope this helps. Thanks. G

Hi All, Gunite was poured for our new pool last week and I have been religiously watering it twice a day for the last 6-7 days. It has been hot here lately and the gunite gets pretty dry during the day. However, when I go out to water it first thing in the morning, there's a damp spot in the...

Hi All, Our pool build starts on Thursday! We signed the contract in May, but it took a month to get the HOA approval. The excavators will be here on Thursday! The family is super excited, but a little apprehensive about the mess in the yard for the next 45-60 days! Our pool: 80 perimeter...
