You're right. I feel like there towards the end they were selling me one product just to sell me another. My pool is back in shape now, and I am paying closer attention to my chemistry and my equipment. making some updates to correct my filter issues this weekend.

I will try to do some before and after shots, if I can remember to take the before pictures.

Hello all. I have some old galvanized valves I will be replacing this weekend. Due to their age they are sucking air and effecting my filters efficiency. I am also going to move these valves to a more accessible location due to the fact they are located directly in the middle of a 40'x16' deck...

Thank you. I will do that.

I did not wait till the last minute to clear my pool. I stay on top of my pools condition . I keep it clear year round. Through a series of unfortunate events, an expired test kit, air leak at my shut off valves and misguided information from my pool supply store, my pool clouded up and grew an...

Hello there. After purchasing Calcium Chloride to adjust my CH level per the Pool Math app, I have read on here where it is not absolutely necessary to monitor ones CH level in a vinyl lined pool like mine. What are your thoughts on this? Just thought I would do a little research on here before...

I attached a picture, but already ran out of the CYA reagent. I ordered the TF-100 XL with speed stir.

My pool really isn’t an eye sore. There’s no green. It’s just not clear.

Where do I order this TF-100xl with Speed stir? Is that made by Taylor?

Thank you. I have ran my pump in filtration non stop throughout this whole ordeal. About three weeks now until I shut it off last night for the flocking process. I backwashes it before I started, and replaced my prairie gauge. I have seen no change in pressure, which leads me to believe my...

I understand what you both are saying. As I stated before these procedures were taken in a desperate attempt to clear the pool up quickly, as I will have 100 people here for a wedding on Saturday. I don't think flocking is the magical answer to my problem. My question about the flock, and about...

Hello all. I am new to this forum and still learning. I have an older in ground roughly 28K gallons. I have a hayward pump and sand filter. I used a local pool guy to install a new vynil liner and maintain my pool while we settled in our new old home. House is almost 100 years old. I took over...

My name is B.J. I am a two year new home and pool owner. My wife and I care for three elderly/disabled family members. I work full time as a mechanic at a tractor dealership. I am here to learn all I can. Our home is nearly 100 years old, and we are estimating the pool to have been built in...
