I’m not sure what to do. Can I patch the tear? It’s about 1 inch long.

I'm so disappointed. We had the wall all up then ran out of wall. I ordered a 21' round but received a pool wall for 18' round. Wall circumference measures 56.5' so we are short a little under 10'. Has anyone had this happen before? The label on the pool wall box says WALL IRIS 54 STL WM 21. It...

My husband and I have taken down our old Doughboy pool. We are putting up a new 21' Sharkline Venture in the same spot, our Doughboy was the same size. My FIL is coming over tonight with his laser level to check the site level. When we installed our Doughboy we did not use patio pavers under...

My pool wall on my Doughboy rusted out and split. :( I am ordering a new pool from Pool Supply World today. I read through some older posts and a TFP discount code was mentioned. Can we still get this and if so how do I get it?

My neighbor just had her pool installed and she has the Aqua Smarte System. Just got on here today and read about this system. I've already texted her about possibly not using this at all and just going with the bleach. Question is, I know that this system adds CYA to the water but does...

This will be my 3rd year using the TFP method with the same pool. For whatever reason, when I added bleach last night to the pool it took the FC level up higher than I anticipated. My pool is aprox. 9,300 gallons (21 ft round by 3.58 inches deep). I used the pool calculator to figure raising my...

I have not tested my CH in a long time, bad I know. Well I just tested and it's 800! FC 5 CC 0 Ph 7.8 TA 70 CYA 20 (taking it up to 40 tonight) If I keep my PH lowered to 7.2 - 7.4 should I be okay the rest of this season? I'm about to test my water straight from the tap to see what it...

Just opened my pool Saturday and the first test results were. FC 0 CC 0 pH 8.4 TA 50 CYA 0 I didn't do a test for CH First thing I added bleach to get my FC up, then added 12 oz of acid to get my pH down, I have 3 lbs of CYA floating around in socks so I'm assuming that will be...

First time opening after using BBB! To say I'm happy is an understatement. This picture was taken right after I pulled my cover off this past Saturday!

Late last year I had to slam my pool due to algae. I caught it early but I know I kept my pool above shock level for too long because I started getting burnt orange spots in the bottom of my pool. I would always add the chlorine in the morning before work but take it higher than my shock level...

I know I had algae but caught it very early. It was green and vacuumed up easily. I have been shocking my pool for 2-3 weeks now. I have keep shocking it because stuff would appear on the bottom of the pool but it's a burnt orange color not green. It vacuums up very easily as well. My water...

I have an above ground pool but my regular pool brush doesn't work. Anything else I can use? I'm not even sure yet if it is black algae or just staining yet but just in case I thought I would ask.

I don't know how much pool water or R-0013 to use now. Anyone know?

Not sure what to do. I have CYA to add to pool but should I just go through the shock process? I know I need to be vacuuming and back washing while shocking but I can't backwash if I add CYA. Should I just start the shock process. I know I will be adding gobs of bleach with zero CYA. Water is...

I have added CYA twice now. A few weeks ago I added 40 ounces and a week later it tested around 20, probably under that. I added another 32 ounces about a week and a half ago and I can still see the black dot, granted it's really really light gray. We have had quite a few rain showers during...

I have the hose hooked to the vacuum with pole attached. The hose is filled with water. I was told to put the other end of the hose into the hole right directly under my skimmer but there's no suction. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

My test results from last night... FC 4 CC .5 pH 7.5 - 7.8 (The color is between these two, don't know which to pick) TA 90 CYA 0 I added 40oz of CYA about a week ago using the sock method. It did take until early yesterday to finish disolving completely. Could this be why it's not...

Okay, so I'm doing the best I can with the crappy test kit I have now. Best I can tell these are my results from last night. FC- 5 pH- under 6.8 TA- 40 CYA- 0 The pH was reading off the charts so we tried lowering it and dumped a little too much muriatic acid in. Way too much. So last night...

We just installed a 21 ft Doughboy. The pump and sand filter will probably be hooked up today. I originally planned on using weekly shock, chlorinating tabs and so on but then I found this message board. Change of plans! The only test kit I have is the Four in One from Watsons. I am...

Hello! First time posting! We just installed a 21ft Doughboy. The area was leveled to within 1/2", measuring with a laser level. All leveling was done by digging down. We planned on hooking everything up, pump and filter, but it got too late so the pool is only filled halfway right now...
