    So after the cold weather I noticed there is a large amount of DE in my pool. Also, my pool vac filter at the wall fitting gets clogged with DE after about 30 minutes of running. Any ideas? I figure it is a hole in my DE filter or a valve has failed to open or close all the way. Pictures of...

    I don't want to start a bit to do about the accuracy of the DPD test, I am quite sure it is very accurate. However, I slammed my pool this weekend and went to test the water this morning for the final test of the OCLT test and took two readings with the same water. The first time I measured FC...

    What Manual Vacuum to Buy

    I have a vacuum in my pool; I think it is a Pentair, an old one at that. It does a good enough job keeping the pool floor clean in spite of the three big oak trees that tower over my pool constantly dropping leaves, small twigs and sometimes and acorn or two. However, it does not run over into...
