    Mustard Algae or Red Clay Dirt?

    Just throwing this update out there solely because I know you're all gonna laugh and or facepalm, but, I got pool store'd. The local pool storestated they'd have a Taylor 2006-C in for me on Friday that I could pick up today after a long weekend trip... and guess who has nothing but Taylor 2005...

    Introduction

    Well some of the moderators have greeted me by virtue of my first post - but howdy y'all! Purchased a home with a 27' / 17000 gallon above ground pool last year and been through the wringer on maintenance issues. Piecemeal rebuilds of the plumbing, a possible algae(?) issue I cannot seem to fix...

    Replumbing-What should I know?

    On the topic of DWV vs. Schedule 40 you'll want to check, check, and check again when you purchase your pipe. Some yahoo left a DWV in the Schedule 40 stack at my local Home Depot and now I've got one random spot on my plumbing that's actually DWV and needs to be replaced. Other hard-won...

    Mustard Algae or Red Clay Dirt?

    So - I've kept my pool chemicals in-range all of last year into this year including over winter, other than a two-day downtime in January due to some emergency plumbing repairs. While I understand and intend on purchasing a better kit, I'm waiting for it to hit 1000 so I can call up the local...

    Mustard Algae or Red Clay Dirt?

    Was not under the impression that there was a test kit available for mustard algae. The local pool shop with several thousand dollars worth of testing equipment sure couldn't tell me. What product(s) can I purchase? Reading through the Wiki I don't believe the TF-100 has that capability?

    Mustard Algae or Red Clay Dirt?

    I bought a home with a pool last year and have been constantly battling this algae(?) since we moved in. Having found your amazing Wiki and forum last night, I've been binging content and found at least one post suggesting some of us novices are mistaking dirt and dust being blown into the pool...
