Anyone use. Good or a waste of $. Thanks.

I have been using the taylor test kit for years, no pool store testing. The phosphate test kit I purchased at Poolwarehouse for under $40. Beleive it or not, it was very close to the pool store #'s. After my initial opening and getting all my #'s in line I add just about half a gallon of...

Older pool with no main drain. I guess I will brush as much as I can and try to get it all trapped in the filter. Do you think I must clean the filter before I close or ok to let it sit until opening? Thanks.

Thanks for the information. So with all my other chemical levels good, (pool has been crystal clear all year) just keep brushing it and try to get all the white powder off the bottom? When I close this weekend do I need to clean my cartridge filter or can I wait until I open next year? Thanks...

BTW, I had purchsed this a year or so ago and after reading up, I kind of see it might have been a waste of time and money. But, I had it sitting, couldn't return it so I used it. Also now I see you need to dump it directly in the skimmer, I put some in the skimmers, some around the edge of the...

Morning all, I will be closing my pool this weekend and my phosphates have been super high this year, lots of trees, pollen etc. I keep the chemical levels spot on so I never really worried about it. Well, last night I decided to add an entire bottle of NO Phos to my 25K vinyl liner pool. My...

Funny, I thought I was the only one hah. Same with me. Rain and a large amount of worms in the deep end. Not sure if it ever had any effect on my chorline readings.

How much bleach (10% same as I use in my pool) would you think a hardly used 650 gallon hot tub take per day? So do not use the 1 inch tabs in my floater that I posted a picture of? Thanks for the assistance.

Appreciate the help.

Can I just get my PH, TA, CYA in order. Then use my floater with 1 or 2 of these Oneshock tabs each day. I can check FC each day and make sure it stays between 3-6 or are these tabs not the right way to go? Thanks.

Hey guys, I moved into a new house less then 3 years ago. Inherited an old Gulf Coast LX11000 hot tub. 8 foot by 8 foot, 650 gallons. Set it up last year, only used it from April to Oct. Then shut it down. I have an pool that I have been taking care of with no issues using pool math. I have just...

Just finished reading this thread, lots of good stuff guys. Even though I am not in the market for a solar skimmer (have to skimmers) I did find it interesting as heck. Thanks. You never know down the road. Maybe the price will come down.

I have an Aquabot Bravo and love it. I inherited a 10 year old or so one which I traded in 3 years ago for the new Bravo. I have had no issues with but man can it clean a pool. Just my 2 cents. I would not hesitate to get another one when this one finally needs to go.
