I live in central North Carolina and have a 20x40 pool. My wife would like to extend the swimming season for us and the kids so she contacted one of the local solar companies about a solar heating system. They sent us a quote based on measurements the took from satellite photos of our home and...

I have a 20x40' in ground vinyl pool in North Carolina. I think its something like 40k gallons. I'd love to be able to use the pool during winter and have been contemplating installing a heater. Can anyone give me any idea what my cost would be to run it for the cool months?

My pool has been open for just about a week now. All was doing well until yesterday when I noticed that I was having air bubbles coming from my returns. This hadn't been the case earlier in the week. I did backflush my sand filter and clean out the basket in the pump (Hayward Super pump)...

I converted to a Hayward SWG when I opened this spring. I put 800lb of salt which got my salt level up to about 3400. Well, my pool's been up and running for a month now and my salt level is down to 2700 which is the lower end of the recommended range. Is the salt level dropping faster than...

Installed a SWG (Haward aquarite) when I opened the pool last week. Haven't fired it up yet as i've been getting the water balanced. Everything looks good according to pool school article except TA. Mines a bit higher at about 150, above the 60-90. What sort of problems will that cause? How...

I'm installing a Hayward SWG when I open my pool later this week. I think need to order a new tf-100 because I left the one I used last year out in the shed and I don't know if leaving it in the freezing weather over the winter will make it inaccurate. I see there are 2 options for salt...

Last year the water was a little too cold to swim in for me except in the dead middle of the summer. I want to have a longer swim season this year. We've been looking at solar covers. We just had our new vinyl liner installed and finished filling from our well yesterday (the ground water is...

We're getting a new vinyl liner put in our pool today, which of course means the pool will have to be refilled with water. What order should I adjust my parameters? I used the BBB method last year, my first as a pool owner, with no problems at all.

I'm a new pool owner, bought a house with a 30k gal, vinyl IG pool this spring. I've been using the BBB method all summer with no problems. Well, now I have one. Before I left for 5 days I brought the pool water up to shock level with bleach. I put some 3" pucks in the Hayward...

Just closed on my new house today. It has a 30k gal, IG, vinyl, sand filter pool. I'll be leaving Saturday morning to go back to the old house (8 hour drive away) for 3 weeks until we move into the new house permanently. I'm going to need plenty of help figuring out the new pool. The vinyl...

I'll be closing on my new house in about a month. The house has a pool that will be open when we close. I just got my TF-100 test kit and plan on using the BBB method to care for my new pool. I'm planning on taking it with me when we close and testing the water. The problem is we'll only be...

I'm moving to a new house in North Carolina in the next couple months. The house has a pool - it will be the first time I'll be a pool owner. I was just wanting a little help with exactly what I'll have. As I understand the pool is concrete/vinyl, 40'x20' - 30k gallons. Not sure how deep it...
