    Need Advice: Out Of The Country Every 3 Months for 3 Months At A Time...

    Hey all I feel I'm at the mercy of our local pool company due to the schedule my wife and I keep. We have a non-profit, and we live in Cambodia for 3 months, twice a year (Jan-March and July-October). While we're gone, I have our local pool company take care of things, but they, of course...

    Is This Scale?

    Weather allowed us a great day of enjoying the pool, and I noticed a white, chalky build-up ONLY around the tiles under the spa overflow. As you'll see in the pics, the buildup was mainly concentrated on the grout. I could easily wipe it off, and then it disintegrated into the pool water...

    Could This Be The Start Of Something?

    The weather has finally cleared up for now, so I was checking out the pool today -- and I noticed something on the covers in the spa floor. I tried to brush it off, but it won't budge.

    Pool, In-Floor, Low Speed, etc., Running Times

    Hey all! My installer setup a default schedule for the pool pumps to cycle, and I thought I'd bounce it off you guys to get your opinions. I don't know what my GPM is, unfortunately. Anyway, here's the schedule: 7:00am to 5:00pm -- Pool Mode (2400rpm) 5:00pm to 1:00am -- Low Speed (1750rpm)...

    Another Newbie! First Pool and First Full Test

    Hey all We just got a 7300 gallon pool installed, and I'm the kind of guy that likes to know the numbers myself as opposed to relying on the pool store to tell me what's up. So, I bought me the Taylor K-2006 kit, and I just ran the numbers... FC: .4ppm CC: .2ppm pH: 7.5-7.6 Alk: 110ppm CH...
