Hi everyone. Not new put didn't open our pool last year might have even been for two years. It was really bad opening this year. The water was very dark. It has been weeks and still not clear. Another factor for this pool is that our neighbor's tree hangs over it. Pool numbers-taken today. PH...

So I was doing well this summer but now I have an outbreak. My CYA was about 40 at the start of the summer. Here is my issue. For the most of the summer, my CC has been registering 0. Even now with physical evidence of algae, it is still measuring 0. Why is that? Also, we haven't been in the...

After changing the sand in our filter, it seems that some has gotten into the pool. What's the best way to get it out?

Do you think either of these bags would work for adding CYA? I follow the method of hanging it in front of the return. I have used a sock in the past but they would leak.

Our pool of 16 years is no more but fortunately, we are able to put in another one. It's another 15X30X52 AG I want to make sure, I start correctly. I having been taking care of our former pool according to TFP for a few years so I think I know what to do but I would feel more confident if I...

Hi, so I did not notice that the clorox changed and now has CloroMax technology. I think I may have been using this last season without noticing. I did do a search on the site to see what was said about it. It seemed at first that the Clorox company had said it was the same as the previous...

Hi, My aunt had high CYA so we replaced water but now the liner seems to be shifting. Her husband did leave at least a foot of water in there but the liner still moved. What should he do? Keep filling the water? Try to smooth out the liner and then continue filling? Thanks!

Hi, My aunt got a house with a pool. She is a new pool owner so I am ordering her own testing kit but will get her started using my test kit. The previous owners seemed to utilize the Pool Store and their advice so their CYA was 80 upon opening the pool. Pool is green, can somewhat see a few...

Last night's PH: 6.9 FC: 21 CC: 1.5 TA: 60 This morning PH: 6.9 FC: 18.5 CC: 0 or most likely 1. Since the water is green wouldn't it have to be at least 1? TA: 70 CYA: 45 Hi, trying to get my pool ready for a party next Saturday. I am thinking I should just leave the TA alone. I added 4lbs...

Hi everyone, I just want to make sure I'm on the right track. My water is slightly cloudy and there is a little debris on the bottom. When I scrub it disintegrates so I am thinking it is algae. The powdery stuff. I know I need to SLAM. I just got done scrubbing the whole pool. Should I bring...

I had stablizer in a sock from last summer and I want to dispose of it. What is the best way? I'm assuming I can't just but it in the trash. What about pouring it down the drain and letting the faucet run?

Hi, I made a rooky mistake and dumped 13 bottles of bleach into my pool without testing the water first. When I opened the pool, there was obvious sign of algae so I added bleach yesterday and had my mom just dump several bottles of bleach over the course of today until I got home to test the...

Hi, We are trying to install our Chlorease CLO1 and it seems as if we need to cut the ledge of the pool so it would fit. I know that is not a good idea but I don't know what else to do. I have some pictures. The second picture shows the ledge we can't seem to re-attach. Any ideas?
