I have a 7 year old IG and the ladder and hand rail anchors are all but rotted in to oblivion. I guess aluminum, stainless and salt water just don't play well together. I see that you can buy anchors in bronze or in cycolac plastic (same material as the steps on most pool ladders). My question...

Planning on adjusting up to the 30 range. After reading the posts about the CYA eating bacteria I wanted to make sure I had it killed off before I started to raise it again. I didn't want to keep feeding the monster.... So now my plan is to get the pool up to 30ppm CYA and hold it at the 8-10...

I live in Newburgh Indiana. Still a bit cool to swim but getting close. Do I need to keep it @ the 10-12 range for a couple of months?? I usually buy enough reagents to get through the year. I get my refills form recsupply. Seem to be the cheapest overall that I have found for Taylor...

WOW!! How did you get a pic from the bottom of my pool??? That is exactly what it looks like only a bit smaller area on the floor. The wall is a bit darker and in a small jagged line about 6"-8" long and .25" wide in two different areas. Looking at things over lunch, the stains have all but...

Raised the FC from 10 to 12 @ 10:00pm last night. This morning @ 6:30 the FC was down to 9.5 and the TC was .5. I did get about .25" of rain over night so I don't know how this will skew the numbers. Here is a break down of the chain of events from the opening. Day 1 - pulled off the cover to a...

It does not look like the pics I have seen and in your reply. It is more in a line in stead of the dots. It does seem to go away at the higher cl levels but comes back quickly (within a day if the levels drift to 1). It does not brush off at all. Brushing once a day does seem to help when the cl...

Is it possible to get black algae in a vinyl pool?? I have a few small areas of black stains on the wall of the deep end. If so do same rules to clear up apply as on a plaster pool?? 38,000 gal IG vinyl Mainly liquid bleach for cl some pucks used during vacation and off and on through the...

I opened my 38,000 IG vinyl pool this year to find that the 30-40ppm CYA that was present at the close in the fall is now at 0?? This is the second season that this has happened. I tested with the black dot test and then had two different pool stores check it. All came up 0. I do not drain any...

I have an IG vinyl pool with a Watermaid salt system. It is around 33,500 gal. I opened up this season to find that I missed a hair bobby pin that was sitting on the bottom when I closed last year. It has left a rust spot on the liner. What can I do to get this off? I have tried to brush it off...

I have a Hayward NorthStar and had the same issue. Fought it for two seasons. Finally applied a very small amount of dielectric grease on the threads of the pump skimmer basket drain plug and no more bubbles. It was always tight but I guess that the threads had just enough misalignment to draw...
