Hi, My husband opened up our pool approx 3 weeks. At that time, I just assumed he only turned the pump on, as it has still been cold here. So we hadnt turned on the heat yet. I didnt realize our aquapure system was going at 50% (SWG). Yesterday we decided to turn the heat on and get things...

Our original heater is a Jandy LXi 400 BTU. Any recommendations on what we should get instead?

Our heater in our pool died this year and we need to replace it. Local Pool company suggested a Raypak 266 but then someone mentioned thought that may not be large enough. Any suggestions? We want a reliable heater that works and doesn’t take forever to heat up our pool. We open to any brand...

Ok. Thank you! Good analogy.

Hello, I have been putting them in a nylon sock in the skimmer. I don’t have a skimmer sock. Tested my water this morning FC the same at 4. CC is zero. TA 200. pH 7.2 salt 3400. CH 275. The water looks better in the shallow end than the deep end, but still murky. Do you think I can rectify...

Hi , We had a new liner placed and needed to refill our pool with our community well water. When the pool was full, the water looked greenish/ Brown. We knew we had iron in our water, so before doing any chemical balancing, we added Polyfill in nylon socks to our skimmers, and seriously within 2...
