A few days ago, my husband went out to turn on the pump. He called me saying it was smoking. I went out to check it out and when I flipped it back on (he turned it off when he saw smoke), there was a hum (no smoke) but it never kicked on. This was the case for another day or so, and then I went...

Thank you! I was just on that and couldn't figure it out. So I read the instructions :) looks like less than a gallon is needed! Yay!

I have the TF-100. And yes, I did all of that nonsense last summer! The pool water currently will have 0 FC as it has just been filled. I just didn't know how much bleach it would take to get it to 3. And by store I meant Walmart. LOL. I don't mess with the people at Watson's unless I...

Also - how can I figure out how much bleach I'll need to raise the FC to 3?

Thank you all so much! I do have a test kit, I got it last summer. I'll test the water tonight and then go to the store! Thanks again!

Hi! We have just finished replacing our liner and refilling the pool. The pool was set up when we moved in, so I’ve never started from fresh new water. We have a saltwater generator so I know we need to add the salt, but other than that I am clueless as to where to start and in what order to...

Re: When to replace liner & refill/open above ground pool Great, thats what i wanted to hear!

Hi all! We are replacing our liner this season and im curious as to when the best time to start that process would be. I have the new liner and a sump pump to drain. My dad says that when we replace and refill we will have to open the pool immediately. I was going to go ahead and do this, but...

Looking at purchasing a new SWG, pretty sure the one we have is shot. What models are the best value? Where is the best place to get one?

Looking to replace above ground pool liner. Suggestions on where to purchase? Looking for quality but also cost effective! Also - diy or pay someone to do it?

Can this be done by someone with little to no electrical skills? I believe I am having the same problem as my Intex CS8110 SWG will turn on only sporadically. Sometimes I go out and it's fine, and sometimes I go out and nothing I do will get it to turn on. If this is easily done, can you post...

Okay so the water is looking very clear now and keeps becoming more so. I have a new issue. I vacuumed the pool and it sucked out some pretty gnarly stuff. I had to stop and clean the skimmer and the strainer basket a couple times. Now when I turn the pump on, it sounds odd. It shows no pressure...

I have a cartridge filter, I put it in my signature so idk why it isn't showing up. I can vacuum to waste by removing the drain plug at the bottom of my filter

I brushed the spots and they are turning my pool green!!!! I think I should have vacuumed them???

So the pool is definitely beginning to clear up (YAY!) I'm seeing some large dark places on the bottom of the pool, they look like big shadows. I assume this is algae that has settled. I have what I believe is a Hayward Diver Dave pool cleaner. It came with the pool when we bought the house...
