I just had to replace my previous Dolphin which was a good boy but passed away after almost 3 years. I came here and settled on a Pentair Prowler 920 through Marina pools, spa and patio. They were awesome btw!! So we have to use an extension cord. My pool is out in the yard( where it should be)...

I have a Dolphin Triton PS that was recommended on here. I have had it for 4.5 years. It started stopping mid vacuum and now it won't work at all. So I need a replacement. I believe I got it from Doheny's. Is this still one of the most recommended vacuums? I cannot locate it on the website, so...

Hi, We have a 20 x 40 in ground rectangular pool with a salt system and vinyl liner. Last year we put in a new salt system per the helpful people on here , so I am back to ask for advice. In May of 2019, our pool pump( Hayward) started making a lot of noise and burnt out. We had our pool...

Hey TFP... I have a 20 X 40 rectangle pool. It has a 6 foot deep end and 3 foot shallow end. It is a liner. I have a Hayward filter and we just replaced our pump last year. This will be my 7th year with the pool. We open an extremely green pool every year and fight to keep the algae out. I have...

I have a Breeze 320 swg. I have recently downloaded the manual after questioning my system. It seems we always have to dose our pool and even in boost, it doesn’t seem to keep up. I found out my swg requires 4000-4500ppm of salt. I have always had it at 2800 per the pool store. They were...

A few weeks ago I noticed my pool water was every so slightly cloudy. I had brown dust on the bottom of my vinyl pool that when brushed went up in a cloud. I had zero chlorine in the pool. This is also when I found out my salt system requires 4000 = 4500 ppm. I have never once had that much salt...

I have been a member for a bit and have my kit to test my water. I always have algae issues .. that is a given. I have SLAMmed in the past. This year opened to the greenest pool ever and it took a long time to get clear( think it has to do with my cover, am thinking I want a solid one...

Can you get the powder for the chlorine test at a pool store or hardware store? I have gotten mine in the past from tfp but I dropped it tonight and I'm in the middle of a slam. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

ok so thanks to this wonderful forum, I had my water balanced and my pool was sparkly!! It took me awhile and a SLAM . I even went away for a week and still had a clear pool. Well I went away again for four days. I live in NJ so the heat and humidity has been oppressive . I don't have any...

Im not sure where to put this question. We are getting our in ground sprinklers working again. They were torn up when we had the pool put in. They found a leak and was pumping it out. They weren't paying attention and it was dumping straight into my pool :/ My husband noticed it and they...

This morning I got my FC up to 4 and my ph from 8.2 to 7.8 by following pool math. So I didn't get a chance to test it again earlier but did tonight. Here are my current numbers: FC 1.5 CC possibly .5. I thought it was 0 at first but there was a slight pink tone (unless its just in my head...

Ok guys..I got my Tf100 test kit and used it this morning. First off...it was so much fun! I am afraid of my results but it was so fun!! I don't know if this has anything to do with the results but we did have rain a lot of the day yesterday. So my post before explained my pool store fun...

Ok, so I admit. I didn't believe in you guys/gals. I am so sorry. I came here awhile back and asked some questions. I got the right answers but was very nervous about not using the chemicals that the pool stores tell me too. I went through pool school but didn't really absorb it . So I had no...

Can anyone suggest a good solar pool light? I have a led color changing one in my pool now but it isn't strong enough to hit the shallow end. My pool is 20 X 40 rectangle. Plus it stops working here and there... So I am looking for solar so I don't have to worry about batteries. We don't swim...

Hi all.. I have a Hayward pro series high rate sand filter. The model number is S244T. My pool in a 20 X 40 unground with vinyl liner. This will be our third summer with the pool. We opened it a couple weeks ago and had some algae but not to bad(thank you cooler temps). We had been cleaning...

Hi all, Im trying to get the hang of this..I have read the pool school but think I will be reading it over and over until it sinks in. I had posted about opening up to an algae pool(it was our first open). We have a 20 X 40 rectangle pool with a 3ft and 6 ft deep end. I have a salt water...

Hi, We got our pool last summer and had our first opening. We opened to a very green pool. We have a salt water system with a Hayward filter. We ended up going to a pool store and getting help with getting rid of it. After a couple days of battle, our pool water was back to being not...
