Thanks guys for the help...I got my ph back up to 7.2 using borax..ran the pump for 48 hours and now the pool looks like it's supposed to.

Hey TFP :wave:, I just opened up my pool last week to what i thought was not a terrible winter, after running my pump constantly and shocking my pool water is crystal clear but the vinyl liner is not nearly as vibrant as it usually is (blue) its more of a greenish tint to it. I've brushed and...

Hey tfp, I noticed today on my pool valve that even though I had put it to close (water from skimmer and main drain shouldn't be coming) that water was still coming into the pool pump. When I tried adjusting the valve it was extremely difficult to move around. I stuck my band in to see what...

I'll have to drain mine from all the rain too, any harm in draining it in the grass?

What kind 0f solar lights are those

Finished the pool pad (deck extension) took off the cover, cleaned the filter and went for a swim with my boys. Water was cold but when your having fun with family, you don't notice.

What kind of solar reel is that?

Put new batteries in my pool thermometer, will open the cover up this week. 70 degrees,

I have a 1.5hp pentair optiflow pump and I read on this forum to average 40-50ft of head, but this chart doesn't make any sense to me.

Does thinking about your pool count as doing something to the pool, cuz I did a lot of that today.

Took apart my old pool pad, will be making a larger one made from trex to make way for the pool heater, also cleaned up all the leaves off the winter cover and vacuumed all the water off the top..."summer is coming"

Do you have a pool heater? And what kind of solar cover are you using?

Hello TFP, :wave::wave: Im looking into some pool automation but i don't have enough equipment to make the aqua link justifiable, im looking for a diverter valve (similar to the jandy) that i cant control from my phone via wifi/ethernet. The main purpose of this valve will be to divert the...

I've noticed that after a heavy rain my pool gets cloudy, what causes that?

Looking good, I'm in NOVA, was thinking about opening the pool with the beautiful weather we had, hopefully in a few weeks. I keep looking under the cover and telling myself in a game of thrones tone "summer is coming".

I have a new filter coming in tomorrow, lets see if that helps. Was using the same equipment last year, never had any issues.

Sorry, its a sta-rite cartridge 27002-0100S filter. I believe the pump is also a sta-rite 1.5 hp, but i'll have to double check

Clorox Bleach 8.25% Also, i have a cartridge filter, was brand new when i opened pool last year. However the color of the filter is not white, its more like a ceramy/brown color. Am not sure it if was white brand new or not.

Hey TFP, I've been running my pump non stop for 1 week but water is still very cloudy, the shallow end is a little bit better than the deep end. I thought it was an algae problem so i shocked my pool, did an overnight test and FC stayed strong at 14, my filter was reading at 15 psi, i cant...

Would you say they illuminate the bottom of the pool, or the entire pool for that matter

Hey tfp, am looking for a good pool light for my above ground pool. Don't like to mix electricity and water so was looking for rechargeable pool light. Saw this one SmartLite Rechargeable Underwater LED Light - Green Pool Products And this one ULTRA Floating Pool Light For Sale | Doheny's Pool...

FC 12 pH 7.6 TA 80 CH Didnt check CYA 30

Hey TFP, just opened my pool up this week (Northern Virginia), topped off pool with tap water, brushed out a few leaves. Water was not crystal clear when i took off cover, but i was happy with how it did over the winter. I washed my Cartridge filter overnight using TFS. Put everything together...

Hey guys, about to open my pool shortly here in Northern Virginia. I was curious if i should be testing for metals in the water after opening and balancing the chemicals, as far as i know i didn't have any issues with metals last summer (first year of pool). Also, any need to add any algecide or...

Deck is 95% complete. They say you shouldn't work on labor day but I don't mind. I'll be puting some more deck boards under the gazebo to make it look flush and avoid the crawl space. I took off the ladder as there is no need for it anymore Original deck ended at the post on the...
