Hi, thanks for the reply. I have ordered some Magic Eraser and will see how I get on with that. In the mean time I've crumbled up some chlorine tablets to make a paste and have been scrubbing that on around the water line. Very slight improvment, so will wait to see what the magic eraser can do...

Hi all, I have a big stain problem (caused by a previous guest) that I've not seen in 8 years of having the pool. You can see from the picture a green/yellow above the water line. I can only assume this has been caused by suntan lotion of some sort of false tanning product. There are one or two...

Its above the normal water line when the pool is open. However, that was found after taking the pool cover off, which had water sitting on top of it, which I assume raised the level to where this mold or algae is. I'm not there to address the problem personally. but a local pool company are...

Hi all. I have a salt water based pool which is lined (plastic or vinyl not sure). The pool has been covered for longer than usual (8-9 months) because of Covid as we haven't been able to get to the house which is Italy. A local pool company has opened it for me, but has found quite a bit of...

Hi folks, I have a damaged pool drain grill at the bottom of my pool (deep end) 1.5 meters. I've no idea what make, model of my pool is, but urgently need to find a replacement grill. Are these things usually a standard size ? (see attached)

Is it ok to put in 'polyquat 60' whilst your pump is still on ?

Thanks for the reply. How much algacide should I be looking at putting in ? and is it a case of just pouring it in or does it need circulating ? I really know nothing about this stuff :)

Hi folks, For the past few years my pool has been looked after by a 3rd party, but this autumn I would like to attempt close the pool myself. The pool is salt water based, located in Italy and 12 x 5 metres in size. It doesn't get that cold, but occasional snow once every few years. I have the...

Looks like my power lead has been over stretched and is no longer working. I know i could substitute this with a standard computer type power lead, but the Maytronics lead has additional water protection. Does anyone know if this Dolphin lead is standard type of a cable or is it unique to the...

I guess what Im after is (if I can't resolve) is a reccomendation on an up to date system. I see some chlorinators now are a single unit with a combined controller and cell. Are they worth looking at ? I don't mind shipping from US to UK or Italy as long as hey can do 240 volts. Distributors in...

I'm in the UK, but the pool is in Italy. The pool is salt water based and 12x6 metres in size with a depth of about 1.5 meters. I'm not in contact with the pool company who installed everything about 4 years ago as they tried to rip me off. I didn't even get a single receipt for anything in the...

Hi all, It looks like my Aqualine Saltwater generator has stopped functioning correctly. There is no voltage at the electrolysis unit and some of the menus don't work. I must admit I know very little about these. If it does need replacing I have a couple of questions..... 1. Can I use any...

Hi all, I have a saltwater based pool 12x5 metres in size. I would like to attempt to close the pool myself for the first time in a few weeks time. I'm ok with the pump removal, covering the pool etc, but know nothing about what chemicals I'm supposed to put in for anti algae. The pool will be...

Hi all, I'm trying to find some info on this Aqualine Chlorinator, but can't find anything at all on the Internet. Hoping someone on here might know how this works. This is all quite new to me. The company who built the pool didn't supply me with any information regarding this device. Any...

wow, there are that many pool cleaners on the market. Who knows where to start! Anyone tried the Maytronics Robot Diagnostic Dolphin 2001? Seems to be reasonably priced, just wondered if anyone had tried this one and your thoughts ? thanks,

Oasis z5 is this a dolphin model ? . By the way, do any of these robots skim the surface or is it just the bottom and wall that get done?

thanks. Can these pools cleaners handle steps such as the one in the attached photo ? - - - Updated - - - thanks. Can these pools cleaners handle steps such as the one in the attached photo ?

Thanks for the replies. Yes the house is in Tuscany. Its an 'in ground' pool and vinyl lined. I don't want something in the water permanently, but would like something that can be put in the pool on change over day and while the house is being cleaned etc (which takes about 4-5hrs), the pool...

Hi all, I need to purchase some sort of robot that can clean a salt water based pool size 12x5 meters. I know nothing about them, but could do with something that runs independently on its own with out being connected to the pool suction (which isn't great). We rent out our holiday home, so...

Only had the pool 12 months and only used it a few times as its at our holiday home. The pool installers didn't give us much information, they simply took the money and ran. I have a salt water pool with skimmers. More recently the pool suction when cleaning the pool has got noticeably worse...

You might be right regards the tarp type material. I guess they gave me the cheapest cover going as it was in with the price. The water above the cover is cloudy green and full of all sorts. I don't really want to put that in the pool. I guess its going to cost me either way because if I...

what I can't understand is whats happened to my orignal clean pool water if there is 2ft of water and a cover replacing it ?

Hi, I'm a new-ish owner of a pool which was installed 6 months back. The pool is salt water based and was covred and closed for the winter by a pool company 6 months back, so this is my first winter with a pool. I don't live at the property as its a holiday home, but on a recent visits over the...
