The fiberglass pool is finally in the ground (14' X 31', 12k gallons saltwater) and the concrete guys are scheduled to come out in about a week and a half. On the deep end there is a built in bench about 2-3 feet below the surface. I was wondering if it is worth considering having a metal collar...

Hope that all are healthy and able to get the backyard pool in good shape for another season! Used to have a 16 x 32 vinyl in ground that my kids loved to spend the summer in. Fast forward a few years and find my family and I in a new home in the Myrtle Beach area and we decided to have a pool...

Hello to all, this forum is a tremendous resource. I have spent some time looking around trying to find a place to download the Pool Math calculator to my iPhone5s. It would be a lot more convenient to be able to take my phone out to the pool and make calculations vs. coming into the house and...

This is my second summer "trying to" maintain a pool. Finding it very frustrating as it seems that I continue to develop algae. The deep end begins to develop a greenish cast.

Used the 3" pucks last year and had the water tested at the local pool store. Found this website and after reading I realized there is a better way. Bought a Taylor K-2006 and wanting to know where to go from here: FC - 9.5 CC - 0 pH - 7.0 TA - 30 CH - 40 CYA - 65 I found some visible algae...

I was wondering if our older pool has an issue as there is no drain in the floor? It has a vinyl liner and a single skimmer in the pool wall. The pool came with the house that we purchased and I am used to seeing a drain in the floor of residential pools or do vinyl lined pools normally only...

New to testing my water but based on recommendations purchased a Taylor K-2006 test kit. When testing the chlorine the directions offer a choice of using either a 10 ml or 25 ml sample. I understand the sample size will determine the drop equivalence but was hoping to get your opinion which...

First posting here and really impressed with the site. I ordered a test kit this morning and looking forward to learning how to really care for the pool myself this year. I have an in ground pool with a vinyl liner. I had a new liner installed last week and am concerned about the side ladder...
