I have just had my pool pump and pool controller changed and trying to set it all up. I spoke with the installer for a few minutes before going to work but that was just as he was getting started. I am currently at work as I type this but he has finished. So, let me list as many specs as I can...

I currently have a Jandy Aqualink RS (8157 Rev. JJ) controller and a single speed pump. I am looking at changing to a Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump. I've heard mixed reports as to integrating the pump and controller. One local store representative stated that it just needed a single...

OK... I started ignoring the pool when it started getting too cold to swim and now it has gathered a ton of leaves in it. I have cleaned out the leaves but unfortunately, they stained the bottom of the pool. Is there a fairly simple way of removing the stains? I've tried brushing but it didn't...

I just moved into my new house about a month ago. I went to a local pool store and had an experienced "pool man" give me an owner orientation to my equipment and just realized a question I should have asked. I'll probably try to call him and ask, but I was curious if anyone here could give me...

I just purchased a house with an existing pool and learning more and more about my pool, but still have many questions. I purchased the LaMotte ColorQ 7 Plus test kit. I have run several tests with my tester, but have also taken several samples to a local pool store. I'm finding some...

I am purchasing a new home that includes a pool and spa combo. I've been spending quite a bit of time searching for information on pool maintenance ways to keep chemicals to a minimum. I have found a few mentions of ultraviolet systems but none of the local pool stores know ANYTHING about them...
