First time pool owner. We put in a fiberglass pool this past summer so this is our first winter with it. I didn't plan on closing the pool as we only get a couple of freezing days during the winter. Tonight is our first night dropping below freezing. I checked my pump and it does NOT have an...

I did this test today and it did't change colors. Do I continue one to the next step in adding drops until it changes to blue?

I have been reading on this site and my manuel to my pump but I still confused. My specs are listed below. First I'm trying to find out what my turn over rate is. I see on my manual that Total Head is about 65 and my GPM is at 90. I'm not sure how to do the math on this. Also, does my...

My FC has been holding at 13 for a week or so. The Pool Calculator says this will go down on it's own. I'd like to get it down to 7. I have SWG and I am wondering if it has to do with my pump run times. I have been running for 5 hours in the early am 12-5. Then during the day I run 30...

FC 6.5 pH 7.8 been holding at that for 4 days with tons of swimming by the kiddos TA 100 CH 230 CYA - 30 I thinks it's going very well thanks to this website. I plan to add some Muratic Acid to lower my TA to 80 and pH to 7.2. CYA added stablizer on Sunday, so I'm going to give it until this...

We have been in our pool about 2 weeks now. Here are my latest numbers. I think I'm starting to get it right....still need to fine tune some things but I'm getting there. FC - 7 pH - 7.5 TA - 80 (This I finally got down from 160) CH - 120 (My next focus) CYA - 30 (Finally moving in the right...

Can someone look at my test results and let me know what I should really be attacking first. I've been focusing on the TA but not sure if that's the right direction to go. Any input would be appreciated. My Goals Fiberglass with SWG (3000-3200 ppm 200-400 above recommended optimum level ) FC...

TF-100 12000 Fiberglass Pool Guy said Saturday that every thing was good. Here is my test results. Cl - .5 PH - 7.8 Salt - 2230 CH - 120 FC - .5 CC - 0 TA - 170 So what do I need to do? I plan on adding 1 bag of salt tonight because that is what I have on hand right now. I do have some...

Am I being too picky or should this be fixed. I don't like the way the water line tile is lining up vs the water level. If you look at the pictures there are areas of water touching the tile and other areas 2" off. The PB hasn't responded as of yet and the tile people are out there now. HELP!

We are thinking of getting a salt rock finish to our decking. I am a bit worried that the splash out from our SWG pool will get into the divots and speed up possible corrosion problems. We plan on sealing it. Anyone have a salt rock finish with a SWG pool? If so, any issues.

We are debating between slate stamped decking or a salt rock finish. The added cost is $5/sq ft. with 302 of decking and 15 sq ft of side walk tying into our patio. My husband feels the cost is too high. I personally think it's a far price. My husband is leaning to the salt rock finish but I...

Our pool is currently being installed. We went with a SWG system based on all the stuff I read. However, as the finish day approaches, I am nervous I will screw things up. I have no idea what type of pool tester kit will be provided....assuming a basic drop test. I have ordered salt test...

We started our pool build yesterday. We decided to go with Lonestar Fiberglass Pools out of New Braunfels/Kingsbury. The model we picked is called the Savannah in a Caribbean Blue.

I have paid the first part of my pool cost and construction starts next week. We are putting cantilever coping with integral light wheat color for both the coping and the decking. This is to be brushed finished. Now I am thinking about just stamping, not two-toned color, just stamp. I...

I would really appreciate some help on this as I really have no clue when it comes to this stuff and just want to make sure my PB is doing me right. I've been reading up on this board but let's just say as a female, this is really all foreign to me. We are putting in a fiberglass pool approx...

Okay - don't laugh but I have a question about waterline tile on a fiberglass pool. I have some tile left over from our bathroom when we built our home a couple of years ago. It looks like a stone but it's porcelain. Can I use the same tile. It's from Daltile the Continential Slate series...

Anyone have a pool from Lonestar Fiberglass Pools? We are debating between them and Leisure pools. So far, the customer service has been much better by Lonestar. Also, the bids from both companies are about 10K apart. I have searched the internet for reviews and such about this company. I...
