So I had my level down low in preparation for some serious rain but I wasn't prepared for the road behind me to overflow into the neighbors yard and wash down into my pool )c: How much of the pool am I going to have to drain to get it back to where I can get the chems correct...

We have a 280 in the pool now and it seems like I break an axle every 6 months. It tends to get stuck at times as we'll. it's 6 years old now and I am considering replacing it with a dolphin deluxe 3 or a dolphin nautilus. I know the dolphins will clean better but are they worth the hustle to...

Last night's numbers (Saturday was about the same) PH 7.8 FC 3.0 CC 0.5 TC 3.5 TA 80 CYA 200 <--- ?!?! I almost overflowed the CYA tube. I was worried I had messed up the test last Saturday when I saw CYA at over 200 (past the line) but it came out the same yesterday. I am pretty sure this...

The pool is less than a year old. Pics and info are in the sig Pool Base Issue: I know that pool base can be soft in a spot or two. I know that with a vinyl, I want the pool base to "give" to prevent damage. I have two spots giving me concern. The first is the "downhill" side of the...

My wife was all for the no hand rail look on the stairs until you slipped this weekend. I have now been tasked with finding a resolution. I was hoping a seach would show up something for non-skid/slip tape here but I came up blank. What I would like is a 2-3 inch tape that I could apply...

PH 7.8 TA 80 CYA 40 TC 7.5 The TC has dropped from 14+ in the last week but clearly the CYA is below recommended levels for a SWG vinyl

The SWG went on July 6 and after running for 2 days the pool smelled of algae and was showing very vey low CL levels (I can't find my notes). We also had some heavy rain in the meantime. I added 3 gallons of 6% on Thursday (I think). The SWG was running on Boost mode. I went out of town on...

I don't have pictures, sorry. I was too busy smooshing them last night. They are about 3/8' long and dark reddish brown. There were a couple floating around but a bunch inside the floats of my rope. My dad has the same type of ants in the deck seams at his house. Any solutions? I'm willing...

We opted for a brick coping on our vinyl (pics will be up later). They used Lexel to attach thin paverson top of the metal frame and then used thinset to attacht he brick to the pavers and then grouted the brick. When you are in the pool you definitely can see some gap between teh brick and...

Sorry if I overlooked this in the Search, but I didn't see it. Where can I buy replacement cartridges for my Pentair C&C+ 320? I want to get my second set while I have the "spare" cash (c:

Hi all. I have succumbed to my wife and allowed a pool to be put in my backyard. I grew up with a pool and know it will be me out there cleaning it in the winter /sigh (c; After much thought and deliberation, I think this is what I want to do and would be interested in any thoughts or...
