    Question about chlorine test Taylor FAS-DPD kit

    So we've been bringing a sample of our pool water by the local pool store once a week or so, and aside from some minor tweaks (CYA level a little low, PH a little high, etc.) they're telling us it's actually looking pretty good, and I assume it's doing well because the water is crystal clear and...

    Mesh cover question -- 20x40 on 18x36 pool?

    We're on the hunt for a used mesh safety cover, found someone on CL selling a 20x40, with end stairs like ours, for a great price. Our pool is an 18x36, though.

    Question about minimum heat pump specs

    So we purchased our home this past August, and are opening the pool this year (it wasn't opened last year by the prior owners.) Although it had become a frog pond, thankfully everything works and there are no leaks, so we've been shocking and running the pool to get it back in shape. There is...
