I have a 15k gallon in ground pool that we put in this year. It has a swg, heater (which never is needed except may/sept). The pump is a Hayward vs pump. So far I’ve had it run 24 hours a day at 55% which I have always had crystal clear water and a good balance when testing the water. My fc will...

Yes everything is working perfectly. I’ve had crystal clear water all summer so far. Swg is making chlorine no problem. Just wasn’t sure what number I should be going off of as one is perfect, the other is very low.

I have a new pool as of this spring so I am new to all of this. Hoping I can get some help with my salt levels. The Hayward aqua rite shows 3200 after I do a recalibration test to confirm the number, it keeps stopping on that number. I tested 3 times with the aqua check salt test strips and it...

I have the clear deck system as well. It was actually designed by a local pool builder who created it and now that’s all they do is make those. We had ours installed for about $3000 last year, something you need to do at install or cement time as it is sunken into your deck area. One of the best...

What did you use for the rope/tension system?

With having sun exposure for 12 hours in the back yard in the summer should I be aiming for slightly higher cya? Keeping it on the higher end of the recommendation. thanks

We had our pool recently installed and opened. I am from Canada and having difficulty getting a tfp100 or taylor k2006c kit right now, hopefully solve for that soon. I’ve been left with test strips for now (I know I know). My issue is my fc has been testing at pretty well zero for the last few...

Do you have the name of the seller you purchased from. New pool owner here in Canada and I am having difficulty getting one of these right now for a half decent price due to border closure

@jimmythegreek what would your recommendation be to have it fixed? Tear up and redo or can they smooth it out by adding another layer?

Thanks, that’s what I thought. This guy has been in business for many many years, the son is the one who does the installs now but it seems like they got a new crew that works with them. It’s been a nightmare, even around the skimmer there’s a 1/4 inch drop from the cement deck to the skimmer...

where the floor is (grout/vermiculite) if you look at the angle of going to the deep end it is very different on both sides. The side that was hand dug and floor is very wavy. The angle and how far it comes out from the wall is almost a 6 inch difference. The left side is very steep where the...

Hi everyone, First time posting here. I am hoping to get some advice on our new build. We are doing a 14x30 vinyl pool with Latham polymer walls. We opted for the vinyl over polymer full length steps with a double wide middle step that can act as a tanning ledge/seat. I called out my pool...
