My kreepy krawly does a GREAT job on 1/2 of the pool, the deep end. The shallow end appears to never be touched. Anyone have any ideas or little hints that will make it clean the entire pool? Without doing the shallow end it is pointless to use the thing at all. if not, I have a kreepy krawly...

My pump is up a hill from my pool approx 20 feet away, 6 feet higher than the pool itself. I have only had the pool 2 yrs and the first year I had it opened by someone else. Is there a secret to getting a pump primed in this configuration? When opening the pool, should I attempt to fill the...

Our water contains a ton of iron so I am constantly adding sequestrant to prevent and ascorbic acid to remove stains. My question is this, the metal sequestrant wraps the iron and keeps the iron disolved. I continue to add iron to my pool every time that I add water.. How do I get this iron...

Anyone ever have one of these air filled domes over their pool? http://rontimco.com/poolpg.htm Is it easy / cheap to heat in the winter time? Are they difficult to keep installed? Good / Bad / indifferent? Thanks!! Mike

All things being equal, what's everyone's choice for a cheap metal sequestrant? I use it often as our water has a ton of iron in it. It would be great to find a place online to get it on the cheap. There seems to be common household equivalants to just about everything, I guess that's no so...

I understand that this is some nasty stuff, I have started using it instead of the dry acid based on folks on this forums recommendations to reduce my ph every 3-4 days. Are there any known problems with long term use?

They had to build my yard up quite a bit when they put in my pool and it seems that I have very little topsoil, then clay on top of gravel around my pool. I have put approx 140 pounds of ky bluegrass seed down and it takes off after a few weeks only to die after 10 -15 days. I'm assuming it's...

I'm looking for a decent source for Ascorbic acid, I have to use this fairly frequently as we have a lot of iron in our water. I have found it online at 3Lbs for approx $27.00 Anyone got a good source that is cheaper? Thanks!!! Mike

Anyone know if there is a way to calibrate - recalibrate the thermometer in my Goldline unit? The reading is several degrees high . Thanks. Mike

I have concrete cantilever coping which hangs over the edge 2" or so. My wan't sealed when the pool was put in and I haven't a clue about concrete whatsoever. Does it need to be sealed? Will it erode away in a few years from all the splashing water and waves when jumping in? If so can anyone...

I have read that all the jets are to point in the same direction for best circulation. Is this true? with a rectangle pool I have 2 jets on a short edge and 1 on a long edge directly accross from the skimmer, they all just point to the middle of the pool. Mike

Where can I pick this stuff up? From reading what others have posted it is a "cleaner" way of lowering Ph. than dry acid I have a SWG so my Ph is constantly rising. the two local pool stores do not carry it, only the dry acid powder and I haven't found an online store that will ship it. Any...
