I'm thinking this goes under "Everything Else" since I'm not asking for help. Now I know the majority do not like to use these products / pucks. But being who I am LOL, I purchased one to replace my Hayward that was 8.5 years old. Anyways, Purchased this and installed.. The black pipe was...

I purchased a lot of shock and it seems the humidity has gotten to the packages. The box that comes with it is crumbling and the individual 1lb packs are stuck to each other and a pain to separate with the risk of ripping open the shock.. So how are you guys storing this in hot humid climates...

Well thought it would be a lot cheaper than $6700 for a 16x32 pool. This quote is from original installer 9 years ago.. Liner is faded bad, almost white so it's time to replace.. Sooooooooo is that the norm? Did a few searches here and they are from 2019 and older.

Going to post a post that someone made in FB.. She added a lot after I stated a few things to her like test strips shouldn't be used, a properly balanced pool, etc etc. So I will leave the pic so you can educate me if she is right or wrong?

Now I got your attention, have the failing 3/4hp pump. The B&D Pumps caught my eye... Should I go with 1.5, 2, or the big boy 3?? I could of sworn I read somewhere here to go for the bigger size and running it at slow speed.. Cant find that topic anywhere..

I have no numbers "BUT" maybe you can steer me in the right direction for my friend... New Inground pool (16x32) Gunite SWG. 2 weeks now 24 hours a day the pump running and they (The pool company) are taking care of the pool for the first month. Well the pool is green and slimy now, almost...

Wondering how many bags of wood pellets do I need per season and where do I put the pellets in? :D

Seeing my pump has a good leak, and running hot immediately with no sun on it, I want to replace it ASAP. I see lots of brands that are cheaper than Hayward like extreme I believe which are quite cheaper.. I don't want a cheap unit to fail in the near future but if anyone could give me some...

Do these things go bad? Almost 8 years old and just filled it with 3" tabs but showing no chlorine at all.. Pool is sparkling clean. Been using liquid up until 5 days ago. All my numbers are where there suppose to be. I have it set to 3 and barely showing anything.. Thanks in advance

I use to use Ice melt (100% Calcium chloride) for my pool but now living in a warmer climate, there is none available here near Myrtle Beach. Question is, my friends just came and brought me 4 bags but unfortunately they didn't get 100% but 92%. The rest is Potassium Chloride 2 -3%...

It seems like my dolphin robot is scrubbing the Crud out of my liner at and above water line. All the designs are almost gone. Liner is 7 years old. Especially at the corners. Anyone else have this issue?

Living here in SC (Near Myrtle Beach), we get lots of down pours that could last for hours which makes me run outside to turn valve to waste to drain water because the overflow pipe cant handle it and me becoming soaked even with raingear on plus running out at 1, 2 , 3 o'clock in the morning...

My time clock went south last year and finally I decided to do something about it besides replacing it with a boring time clock LOL.. So I built me a WIFI time clock with Alexa.. Works awesome.. Day 4 of use and I have it set up to come on twice a day. All for less then $30 bucks.

Stupid cheap strips made the Alkalinity through the roof so I guess after reading I need to add muriatic acid.. Is this the same stuff that is at Lowes for like $10? Need to go get some if that's what I need.. Thanks John

I did this a few months back... Pool side, App on phone, and in the house.

After 6 years, my liner looks so faded that one may think it's 20 years old. So I am wondering is this the works from the Sun and Chlorine? Will changing over to a SWG will keep it looking newer longer? Just trying to prepare when the day comes to replace the liner... Thanks..

I have a 16x32 liner pool. I am thinking the Dolphin Nautilus CC or the Plus. The first one states up to 33' pools but I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the Plus or just save the $180 and just go with the cheaper one. Thanks.

I had a above ground pool from 2000 to 2014 and in-ground from 2014 to present and never had this problem before. I live here in SC near Myrtle Beach while the pool is closed for the season, I still maintain it by cleaning it and shocking it about once a month to keep it clean. Last week, I...

Question.. Anyone buy from this site? Are the units look new or they look used but fixed to run like new? Looking at the CC Plus for $550.00 Thanks

Looking at the Pentair 342001 SuperFlo VS Variable Speed Pool Pump for $699.00 from Amazon. I do not need a pump at this time but seeing I can get a $500 rebate on this, I was thinking why not. Is this a good pump or any other recommendation for a pump since the rebate is good for any energy...

Question.. I'm not liking my 3 year old sand filter. Seems like I'm getting sand in the pool.. I keep thinking it's mustard algae but according to this site it's usually on the shaded part of the pool area and all of mine is at the bottom of the deep end mostly. So with that, I'm thinking of...

Hopefully I'm in the right section in posting this so with that..... For over 12 years, I had a 27' above ground with DE filter in NH, Never had any issues and now that we moved (2014) to SC, we got a 16x32 inground with a sand filter and not very happy. I keep having dirt (Dark brown in...

I moved from NH to SC and built a inground pool and now the pool store says I have mustard algae. What I have seems like a fine very light gray pile of dirt.. They said if I push it with my brush does it become like a cloud or just moves with the brush.. Well it becomes a cloud so they say it's...

Had water delivered yesterday and it seemed OK... Today after shock, the water is Green.. PH 7.2 Hardness 70ppm Alkalinity 50 Copper 0 Iron 0 Phosphate 300ppb I am now at shock level.. HELP.. 27'x54" Round pool

Well a few months back I started a topic if I could save my liner.. But, that was not close to the issues I was having.. Seems like a mouse dug under the pool and went through the liner which caused the water to drain and the ice just destroyed the walls.. So, I purchased a new 27' round...

Well, I looked out at the pool the other day and wondered why the water line is so low.. Well, the liner blew.. Just below the water inlet, about an inch down, a big tear approx 8" wide or maybe wider by 6". Liner is approx 2 years old.. Could I patch that big of a hole??? Draining a 27'...

Guess this guy got quite lucky yesterday here in NH. http://www.wmur.com/news/24558456/detail.html
