I have never had this problem before. For some reason, birds have decided to use my pool this year as their own toilet. It might be a funny story later after I resolve this issue but what do I do to discourage them? We noticed last month when we took the cover off that there was an enormous...

Hey I am getting ready to close. :( I put a solid cover on. Do I really need one of those pillows? They seem to break each year and not do such a great job. Would I be better off to put my money into getting a good cover pump to keep the water from collecting on top? Thanks Suzanne

My water looks beautiful. I have been testing and adding bleach-- about half gallon to 3/4 of a gallon nightly. I test TA almost nightly. It went down from 90 to 80-- so I checked the ph. I really hate the ph test as I am unsure about the color-- is there another ph test that is less...

Help-- I hope we have a paramedic on call. I got one dilemma solved, on to the next... I took some readings.. My pool actually looks fine-- some leaves got in last night when we took off the cover. The water has some bad readings and I need help, quick! Here they are; FC-0 CC-0 TC-0 Ph-<6.8...

We took off the cover to our pool last night. We started filling it back up with water from the hose. We got the filter set up. This morning I see ring around the filter is not on correctly-- water is leaking out. I put in a stopper and then was trying to open drain valve at the bottom of...

Last October I converted to BBB. I was told I would need to replace my grids before using my filter. I decided to deal with that this year when opening. We are getting ready to open. I want the filter in good working order before we get too far into the process. I don't want to go to the...

I am ready to close today. A nice clear non-windy day. I tested my water and my ph is 7.8 but my TA is 90. Is that ok for closing? I know someone said not to put in any CYA since I just finished my conversion from Baq. I have been adding bleach forever and of course on a day like today...

Hey - I just got my TF-100 today. I am not sure when it comes to looking for a certain color. I was doing T/A test and between 12 and 13 it changed from green to a purple color- it said when it turns red so do I keep going looking for a red or is it when I see it change. My PH is high- 8.2...

I am getting ready to begin my conversion from BAQ. I have read about many of your conversions. Could you all tell me: how many days? How many gallons of bleach? How many ruined shirts :wink: ? Any other words of wisdom before I begin. I know it is different with everyone but I want to...

I am planning on doing a conversion from Baq to BBB before I close up for the season. Some background is: we inherited this pool in January when we bought this house. We really like it but it has been a headache and extremely expensive.When we opened it there was a container of Baquacil in the...
