I'm trying to clear up my pool before I add the cya just so I don't have to backwash the filter for the one week. Because I have no CYA currently, keeping a shock level of 10 is still fine for the liner and everything right? I mean you have shock of 15 when you are doing the baquacil...

What would you say is the upper limit for FC to leave the solar blanket on a pool? Another words, if I get my FC up to 6 and leave the cover on am I safe? How about 8 or 10? I would think nothing over 10 would be good but what do you think? CYA is 0.

I'm having trouble with my sand filter spitting sand back into the pool. It is a 250 lb waterway filter I believe. Got it new last year and it spit sand back into the pool. Dumped the sand last fall as I figured I would need to replace laterals. Pool store gave me new laterals this spring...

My solar cover was covered in water mold last fall so I just pitched it. I have a reel and the straps, but need the new clips that attach to the cover. Are there any good internet places to just buy the clips without having to buy the straps too?

Hi all. Not sure if any of you go out and look at google maps to see other pools in your neighborhoods or not. I live in IA and there are pools around, but you have to look for them. Grew up in NW suburb of Chicago, cooler summers than here in IA, but definitely more pools around. I just...

I have a very similar situation to this. Last fall I ran out of Baquacil and was having trouble with water mold. Thought about converting to chlorine this year to give it a try. Last fall I was not trying to do the conversion but maybe I have already. I can’t remember exactly how much...
