Hi! Looking for the best place online to purchase the 140K BTU Hayward pool heat pump. Any recommendations out there? Thanks! Jen

Hi All, I have a Jandy AE-TI Heat Pump connected to my 20,000 gallon in ground pool and in the 10 years we've owned the pool it has never worked (due to an expensive-to-replace broken controller assembly). Recently the petcock that's part of the heat exchanger drain has sprung a leak and I can...

Hi All...I grew up as a pool builder's daughter so my hubby has decided I'm the one who handles everything related to our pool since my dad isn't alive anymore. My heat pump is acting up and every company in Maryland is so busy opening in ground pools right now no one will make service calls...

I've been using BBB for 2 years now and am so thankful to all of you who have helped me enjoy the process of keeping my water balanced for my 18,000 gal plaster pool. I have a couple of CYA questions: 1. Last year my CYA was 70 but this year it's below 30 on the Taylor K-2006 (it doesn't even...

This is my first year on BBB and I successfully turned our swamp into a sparkly oasis earlier this month thanks to you all! I've read a ton of pool school posts, and am testing the water regularly with my Taylor test kit. In the past 3 years I've had perfectly clear but probably not safe...

Not sure if this is the best board to post on, or the algae board since my need to vacuum to waste likely comes from a problem I was having with algae....that said, I was told that cartridge filters can't vacuum to waste, but I don't know if that's true. Coming off of my pump is a spigot that...

Hello Jason, I just received my first Taylor K-2006 today and the little dipper appears to be broken. I'm assuming it should look like a miniature teaspoon, but mine is cut off. I was still able to load it with R-0870. based on your note above, do you think it's okay to trust it until a...

Hello Everyone, First, this is a wonderful website full of excellent information; thank you to everyone who helps support this site! Now to "la problema": I opened my 18,000 gallon in-ground pool 9 days ago. It was a green swamp, so I got my levels right and began shocking. It quickly turned...

This is a great site. Thank you to everyone who dedicates time to keeping it up and running! I'm hoping to follow the rules here, but not totally sure where to post about a problem I'm having, other than here in the introductions. I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post! :)...
