    Water evap at 80 degrees

    Thank you all! It did slow down. I normally close by now, but I’ve left it open. I may not do this again- wow those leaves!

    Water evap at 80 degrees

    True- I think the temperatures this week are milder than say a month ago.. while the water loss (I think) is more.

    Water evap at 80 degrees

    I would have never thought that. That is definitely happening.

    Water evap at 80 degrees

    Greetings from Lexington Kentucky. My youngest twin girls have now turned 18, and between them and my adult son with autism- this 30’ I built four years ago. Sure didn’t get much use this summer. at least I did develop a Zen with very little maintenance required in the way of chemicals all...

    Which side of return for salt water generator

    Wouldn’t it be better to have more flow? Sounds like there’s a balance, but flow is more important than pressure or no?

    Which side of return for salt water generator

    As I type this message, I just now realize that my particular SWG is not like most, so there may be very few that have a similar setup. It is a cheaper version- Solaxx Saltron that hangs over the pool wall of our 21k gallon above ground. 4 years now, it has had to have the salt cell replaced...

    Return pool lights- anything new in this space?

    I have a 30' above-ground pool. I'd like to have a return light if they are any good these days. I see a brand for under $40 on Amazon that many have, yet say they are a poor concept. I think they are from "GAME". I don't have an outlet to use at the moment, so anything return-powered or...

    Can you repair hose?

    I hope this isn’t considered a dumb question. I went to open my pool last night and one of my hoses like this had a tear at the end, about 2 inches of the smooth part. We actually don’t have these at Lowe’s, and we may have them at a pool store in town but I think they’ll be closed by the time I...

    Remind me why I want to go up to 7.6 PH

    I’m not sure I understand why I would want to go up. TA is 60, PH is now 7.5 I was away for the weekend and had a little algae growth I vacuumed out to waste. I added about 20 ounces of muriatic acid yesterday. Shouldn’t I maintain this PH or even go to 7.2 to help with sanitation?
