I have had 2 G3 baracudas over the last 15 years. Replaced worn parts and then bought another one and replaced parts. Just before this weekend the plastic shell broke and is beyond repair. My choice for the similar type of cleaner is the Pentair Cruiser or the Zodiac G3 pro. Both $300 at...

Thanks to all! Great info! Puts my mind at ease.

We have been successfully maintaining our pool through out this summer using using liquid chlorine at 10% and muriatic acid. I have Taylor test kit and use it faithfully. I was talking a friend that is in the pool maintenance business and told be that adding liquid chlorine adds salt to the...

All I have on hand right now are trichlor tabs, liquid bleach, and acid. Waiting for my car to get back so I can get to the store. Need to get the CYA to add to it. Planning on purchasing liquid. How long should I wait to test levels? after I add it how long until I add chlorine? Thanks...

Pool is looking good right now! Still haven't added anything to it.

I noticed that the pump wasn't running this morning. Checked the timer and it wasn't moving. Pump has water in it. The breaker was tripped. I reset the breaker. Pump hummed and then tripped the breaker. Is it time for a new pump? Can you give me any idea on what I should check for? Thanks...

It is definitely mineral deposits. It was fine the first 2 years of pool ownership. This year we had only one rainstorm in the summer. FYI I am in Phoenix. We had over 32 days of 110 degree weather. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Paul and Loraine

Magic eraser Thanks for your response! Sorry I forgot to mention I tried that first. Loraine

How do I remove a 1 inch wide white tile line. I have already tried the pool pumice stones. That just seem to make it worse. The pool is 3 years old with a pebble fina finish. Thanks Loraine
