My pool has the large style Paramount pop ups. I have one that I need to repair/replace but it's stuck due to sand and grit. I have the removal tool and I know they turn clockwise for removal. I had the pool drained this spring and was lazy and didn't work to free all of them up...now I'm...

I have a dilemma to which I'd like the experts to provide feedback on. As temps rose this year, my SWG has had problems maintaining an FC level which has historically been easy to meet in prior seasons (when SWG is run for same duration). Eventually, I arrived at checking the CYA level as a...
