Yesterday I turned on the filter early morning and off to work I go. I generally leave the spa on overflow. I got home and usually venture out back, but it was so hot I decided to stay inside. later on around 7, I went out and could hear the pool heater going. I went over to look (Hayward) and...

Have a Hayward heater and decided to use the spa last week. The heater fan would start and you could hear the ignitor working but it would not start up. gas line outside the heater was open..... I was hoping it wouldn't be one of the boards and got a I F indication on the readout.... I called...

We have now had our pool with spill over spa for 6 years now. I pay the company that built it to open and close the pool each year. Since day 1 the spa return (the opening that puts water into the spa) had the jet taken out as it could not allow enough water into the spa to allow the system to...

What brand of test kit can I get in the Toronto area and who sells it. The current one I have does not seem to be able to give me numbers like I see posted here. Thanks

my pool got cloudy 2 weeks ago and I am struggling to clear it. I cant seem to kill the algae although i have been back washing daily and scrubbing the liner. All my levels were in the OK range today except ph was low so I added ph plus. I keep the auto vacuum going 24/7 but tonight the water...

Came home today and went out back and could hear the pool heater running. No one claims to have turned it on it is a hayward. Anyone ever here this happening before?

I had this issue last year but the heater still worked and it would go away after a few seconds. Now it sits in CE mode and either wont work at all and sits in stanby, or it will fire up and then go to stanby and continue running normally with no way of turning it off short of shutting the...

We have had our pool for 3 years...vinyl in ground. About a month ago I was cleaning the liner above the water line as I swam around, using a mr clean magic erase. I was not being overly aggressive and was just getting pollen and what looked like scum buildup off. Then I noticed the actual...

When we ordered our spill over spa it showed up with a light, although we had not ordered it that way, the contractor decided to hook it up for us although they were not thrilled about it My wife loved the light with the different coloured lenses, but it only lasted a few months before it...

I was pretty sure I had my water in good condition and tested daily with the those paper strips you just dip in and wait 15 seconds. I know its not the best way to really know but gives me enough info as far as clorine and ph are concerned. Last weekend which was hot but not rediculously hot...

Our pool was opened last week and the filter ran for 2.5 days as we circulatated the heavy chemical dump. It is currently about 2 degrees celcius out and wonder how long do I have to run the filter each day in this type of weather if at all.

This may not be the right category for this question, but it looked correct to me. Just out of curiosity how much should those small bags of shock cost?

I am not sure if it is a sign of something but from about day 1 when ever I vacuum or drop something into the water I see on one side of any object a yellow blurry sort of visual on one side of the object submerged. There really is nothing there but the refraction of light through the pool...

I have for years been getting a cramp or muscle spasm in my feet which I have to bend them backwards and hope it goes away. I have no reason why it only happens when I swim but it is very painful and aggrevating. This weekend I went to a buddies after golf and went in his pool and I got a muscle...

I looked at the site for Aqua Lamps and see they have LED lights that do all sorts of stuff. They are not cheap but wonder if anyone has them and what is your opinion of spending 3-400 for lights. Do they work when you have a multicoloured blue liner? Are they as bright as the white lights I...

Had the pool opened 3 weeks ago and we have aa little remote to turn the pool lights on and off. The lights are stuck in the on position and I have to turn them off by tripping the safety breaker next to the pump. When you press the button on the remote you can hear a clicking sound coming from...

Our house now has been equipped with a smart metre. For those that dont know, it is the hydro meter and what it does is calculates at what times of the day you use power and then you are billed accordingly. I had no choice in its installation. It seems that after 9pm on weekdays until early...

I just noticed 2 hairline cracks where the concrete deck around the pool metts up with the spill over. Eachcrack is on either side of the overflow and almost inthe identical spot (mirror image). The pool os a vinyl steel construction and is just going into year 2. Should I be concerned at this...

had the pool opened this week and we have a remote wireless controller for the pool lights. My wife tells me when I get home that she has to go to the pool company to get a new battery for the remote. First of all I tell her that she can get a battery anywhere but there as they will charge a...

Just had the pool and spill over spa opened today. I was not here naturally and within 5 seconds of looking at the spa I can clearly see that the chrome rings and the jets are covered in what can only be described as rust!!!. The same company shut the pool and left me all the jets and assorted...

We have not swam for over 3 weeks now and not likely to until the spring. Our pool is scheduled to be shut down oct 23 as we have a spill over spa that we like to use 2 or 3 times a week. What is recommended for running the pool and spa at this time. Daytime temps are between 55 and 68...

I left my filter running all day yesterday and I had the return flow directed to half spa and half return jets and it creates a light waterfall effect. I dont usually do that to often. I turned the filter off last night and the spa would have been full. This morning the spa is down 6 - 8" and I...

I purchased an inground pool with a spill over spa last year. The pool company received a spa with a light in it although it was not what we ordered, I guess they decided to keep it and make it work for us. We had it working for about a month and then it went on the fritz and stopped working. I...

I use a test kit with the 5 bottles for different types of tests and I also purchased the test strips. The test strips claim to check alkalinity and each time I have used the strips my readings are always in the OK range. I take a water sample to my pool guy and twice they tell me my alkalinity...

How fast on an average 21 C degree day with overcast skies should the water level drop. We have a liner with a tile pattern and it is very easy to see the water level go down by over an inch in one day. The pool is less than a year old (60,000 litres) I am concerned that maybe there is a leak...

I do a back wash once a week and the gauge is always at 12 -15...all the time. Is that a good thing? This week I even did the turn it on and off several times for about 30 seconds each time then I rinsed and it still sits at 12 -15. I have not seen it get any higher or lower. I also sometimes...

We had some pretty gusty winds last Thursday and being a newbie to pools I felt I was safe as the solar cover seems to stick to the water...Not!! Wind lifted it completely out of the water and ripped it off the 8 doeys that hold it to the roll up bar and deposited on the lawn 25 feet away...

After many years of wanting a pool but not sure if it was the right thing to do I finally made the move last summer. Ordered it in June and waited till near end of September for it to be completed. A very rainy summer delayed the company. Well we put in a 18' x 29' humback kidney shaped inground...
