Re: thinking about getting a pool heater vs. going to beach. Thank you all. This week it has been in the upper 80's low 90's here, weather wise. Is it possible the water will heat up soon just from the sun? The pool is in full sun. We may be able to get by with solar panels. Usually our...

We have a 28,800 gallon pool. It's 33' round and 54" deep. We just installed a salt water system. The water is so cold we aren't using the pool. What heating system would be best for us? We had planned on going to the beach but my husband said "why don't we get a pool heater instead?". It...

That's very helpful. Thanks. I really wish we had built the deck all the way around the pool. It goes around almost halfway. Sectioning the solar blanket may work. Cindy

We have a 33' round agp with a deck only on one end. Using a solar cover is too much trouble. To my knowledge, they don't make a reel big enough. I do most of the pool maintenance myself and it's hard for me to put the cover on and take it off. I know the covers help with chlorine loss but...

I do set the filter on rinse afterwards for a minute. Actually I did not begin backwashing weekly until the last 3 weeks or so. I will stop doing that. Tomorrow we will take the top off and look at the sand. We are having problems with pollen here in Tennessee lately. Today the pool water...

Just a minute ago, I put a knee high stocking on the return with the pump off. My husband held it there while I turned the pump on high. Sand and stuff blew into the stocking. I don't know if one of the "fingers" could be broken or if it is channeled. My husband felt of the brown spots in...

My test results are: Chlorine 7 Ph 7.5 CC 0 CYA 30 TA 140 (TA was checked earlier this week) no chlorine loss in overnight test. It was clean today until I turned my pump on high. Within one hour of turning the pump on high there was what looked like brown dirt in various spots all over the...

I had what I thought was mustard algae in my pool. There were brown streaks all over the bottom of the pool. It was easy to brush off. Kind of like a powder. My steps had a yellow powder all over them. For 24 hours I shocked at a mustard shock level. Before shocking at mustard shock I...

rastoma, I live in Tennessee and can buy liquid chlorine 10% from the pool store. I purchased some Ingles bleach in gallon sized jugs today for 98 cents each. However, the bottles do not state the percentage. I asked the manager and he didn't know either. He said he would find out. He gave...

I have seen the taylor technologies link. I read the pool school before we had the pool installed. I have a millenium sand filter 2hp, 2 speed. I had it set to filter when I added the cya. I put the cya in nylon knee highs and hang it from a board at the return. I have not backwashed since...

My CYA is not showing up. The pool store said it was 34 on June 15th. They told me to add another 4 lbs of stabilizer. I had added 4 lbs a week prior so 8 lbs total. I used the stocking method. The last of it dissolved two days ago. I shook the solution for over 30 seconds and had my back...
