My house was built in 1985. There is a back flow valve but if I close it off, it doesn't appear to shut off the autofill lines. Should I care? I am trying to sort out the plumbing. We have a very minor leak and the autofill Iines were pressure tested and didn't find anything. Now I just want...

Hello from AZ. In winter my electrical provider provides a big discount from 10am-3pm so I programed my variable pump to run at high during those times. Now that it's back to summer rates, I was wondering if the heat of the day put an extra strain on these motors and I should reprogram it back...

I am trying to migrate to using only Liquid Chlorine. I recently did a partial drain of my 25,500 gallon pool in Scottsdale AZ. Its 97 today. Pool is open all year. Full sun many days. Due to where I am on the city water line, I fight high PH all the time. Here is where I am at? FC 3 CYA...

My TDS had been around 1700-1900 and we just had 4.1 inches of rain in under 3 hours a week or so ago. I just had a test and the overall TDS came out at 2600. Should I be concerned. The pool still looks pretty clear to me. Second question - in summer in AZ what is recommended, add a little...

Does heat have the same effect on Granular Chlorine or Tabs as it does on liquid chlorine? Thanks.

Anyone successfully find a HASA dealer in Scottsdale AZ willing to sell to a home user. That's what the Where to Find Liquid Chlorine suggests but I am not having much luck. Other alternatives other than HDX at Home Depot? Thanks to anyone that can help

So I read some old threads here and have emailed Pebble Tec but no response yet so thought I would post here too. They clearly recommend nylon to start but my pool is older. Has anyone here actually used a hybrid brush (nylon and SS) and found no damage to Pebble Tec? Secondly, my nylon...

I am going to partially drain my pool. CYA is at 113. Its 27,000 gallons. My question is do I close all the valves on the pumps and filters? Turn the pump off, yes of course. What other gotcha's are there as I haven't done this before. My mistake as a new pool owner was leaving my tabs in...
