    Algae but high FC

    What I don't understand is why isn't my FC changing. This morning everything is the same as last night, just my PH is now at 7.4. I added zero bleach and my FC stayed the same. Shouldn't the algae on the bottom that I brushed be using up my FC. So two weeks ago when I had this problem I shocked...

    Newbie very confused,please help

    My 27' Round 54" AGP Install with Pictures

    Thanks Casey, when should I clean it if it is on a 2psi right now? My installer told me when it rose 2 psi, so that is only 4 psi, that doesn't seem like much to have to clean it???

    Water Over Skimmer

    Thanks John. I have a solar cover on it, so that should keep most surface debris off.

    Water Over Skimmer

    I just had my pool installed and filled. This past weekend we had a lot of rain and the waterline is now over my skimmer. Is that OK or should I pump some of the water out? It is really too cold to swim right now, so i won't have any splashed out for a while. Sorry for the newbie question.

    Is it OK to bury my 24'x54" AGP 2 ft into the ground?

    what and how did you back fill it? did you do anything special when you had it back filled? I looked at the specs of your pool, mine are the same except i have 7" Resin uprights vs your 6" coated steel.

    Buying a Pool, need Filter and Pump Advice

    I decided to go with a Hayward XStream 150 and a Matrix 1.5hp pump. The XStream 150 was the top of my budget, so i got the biggest I could. I really wanted a 1hp, but the XStream only comes with a 1.5hp. During this process of looking for more info on filters and pumps, i sent a tweet to...

    Insulation Walls Under Liner

    i can't find any R-value ratings on them. they say it will increase the r-value of your pool, but so would a sheet of paper to some extent. The lack of substantiated info is what has me the most skeptical.
