i wonder if i could push the track out slightly on each upright where they join? moving them just a little should make up the foot difference shouldn't it? im not sure what i can do without spending a bunch of money (finding the new track and ordering it). i do not think it would be a good idea...

Hello, last fall my frame rotted out. This spring i tore it down and found a new unopened box frame. Both are 24 foot round pools. The bottom track was never moved and we just stuck the new frame into the same track. The new frame seems to be too long...it's almost exactly 1 foot too long. I...

Outside of my pool is getting pretty bad. Is this repairable or am going to be looking good for a new pool soon? It still feels like surface rust but I was wondering if it's repairable?

An hour after I sweep the floor this algae is right back!? Am I doing something wrong? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Still slamming! I was wrong on my cya, it is only 30. I was starting to get a little cloudy when I posted this but it's crystal clear again with a little algae on the floor every day when I remove the solar cover. I brush it all the replace the cover. And make sure I'm still at shock level and...

thanks everyone! i am very well aware of the charts and how they work. what i did not know was that the salt water generators actually produced chlorine for pools! :confused: that's what had me so confused. i thought for sure i was supposed to use the SWG chart since i had "salt" in my pool...

No I don't have a salt generator. I use the blue solar salt bags. Judging by everyone's answer I'm slamming. ..lol I was under the impression that if I had salt in the pool it requires less chlorine? Am I wrong? If so, what's the difference from having a salt generator and just adding the...

Wouldn't I go by the swg's fc goal since I added salt? I'm currently around 1,100. I am using the 20 mule team to try and raise my ph. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

oops, sorry CYA 70 FC 4 PH 7.2 TA 70 CH 230 CYA 70 using a TF-100 i have (i think its the name of it) a shark i only use on occasions, but i brush the pool at least once or twice a week before we swim.

Hello, Even though I keep my parameters in check, I always find a little algae on the floor of my pool? the waters crystal clear when I take off my solar cover but the floor isnt? I sweep it and it's gone until a few days later. I had this problem last year too and I tried slamming the pool...

She claims she's not wearing any sunscreen? Maybe its not the water? Makeup perhaps?

Salt level is at 1990. She doesn't really go under the water. Its more when getting splashed by my daughter by accident. My daughter uses sunscreen. Could that be the issue? Or does she just have sensitive eyes?

can someone please help me with a burning eyes issue? she feels a instant burning sensation getting the pool water into her eyes. this happened last week also so i added a box of borax (a week ago) to raise PH since it was low (7.2). now today , the same problem. the water is clear with no sign...

Re: Shocking Pool, Need Reassurance! *pictures!* I just throw the entire line in and use the outlet of the pump to fill the line up with water. Then shove it in the inlet and your set.

Thank you all for the help. I may take a trip after all. First ever BTW!

Hello, Last year I added salt to a non Swg pool for a better feel. The thing is, I can't find where I found the info on how much to add safely without test strips for swg. I do not know much about swg systems but I assume it needs to be added regular so last years salt is long gone. BTW, I use...

I would have someone certified check it before the workers have a chance to put it back. Better yet, have it replaced by them for free. Would want to be worried about it or worse have something happen in the future? Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2

Still loving BBB!! as promised...donation gladly made! Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2

Keep at it!! Get all the crud you can out of the pool and start brushing. It may stir it up but algae can form a biofilm and make it harder for the chlorine to consume it....brush away!! Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2

Every time someone doesnt believe me i google whats in "shock" and whats in bleach. That always zips the lip...lol:lol: Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2

Thats a good idea! I found some lights that are a return line and light all in one. That and rope light along the deck railings should look great! Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2

How are you testing the water? Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2

yes, find a way to brush/clean as much "muck" out of the pool as possible, DAILY (or as much as you can). once you order a kit recommended do the FC test to see how much chlorine is in the pool and then post the numbers. this is a great guide on how to shock the pool using bleach...

overnight FC loss test results: last night test: FC 10 this morning: FC 10 proud to be, algae free!!! thanks everyone SO much for helping and all the knowledge on this site! the algae bloom was a tough fight using lots of bleach but after many nights of brushing and scrubbing its clear as could...

congrats!! im am pretty much in the same exact boat as you...shocking and brushing...i did get a chance to get in my pool and scrub the floor with a hand brush using my foot. i was having a hard time getting the edge with my regular brush and i could see algae forming back every morning. i think...

these are battery powered ones you are referring to correct? i have found these but you need to zip tie them for vinyl pools. they are for the metal frame pools. i would rather not have it "hanging" from zip ties but the floating lights seem a much better idea. any certain brands? searching...

i see many lights that you cut the hole and place a light in the side. but these can be very pricey! has anyone found a cheaper method so i may light up my pool at night?
