    Green pool

    My hubbie jumped the gun and filled the pool prior to me having a chance to buy metal remover (we have very high iron in our water). In the past, we have been told by the pool store we can’t chlorinate until we run a bottle of metal remover. Is this true, or can i start, and then add the MR when...

    The face of PURE EVIL....

    My son has two! They are very entertaining, but They cannot be trusted to leave anything alone.

    Winter cover for AGP

    Thank you! I was hoping to avoid the shredding issue we had last year...never had that happen before, and it was a nightmare to filter.

    Winter cover for AGP

    In preparation for winter, we always cover our 24' AGP. We have historically bought the cover from the LPS, but we broke up with them this year and have never had an easier pool care year or cleaner water! Props or TFP! Anyway, the cover we bought from the PS last year shredded, and we...

    Cartridge filter woes

    I misspoke. My cc was .4, not 1, but anyway, cya is zero...I misinterpreted those results, as well. I added a gallon of 8.3 liquid bleach, and first reading was 6.4 for FC. CC was zero. pH remains at 7.5 TA 150

    Cartridge filter struggles.

    That makes sense, but How do I "tame the chemistry"? I put my numbers in the calculator and it basically told me to do nothing... The water is crystal clear...

    Cartridge filter struggles.

    We are new to cartridge filtering. We were talked in to this system along with permasalt when we bought our second pool last year. We were told it's lower maintenance, etc, but ended cleaning the filter every 7-10 days... We are ditching the permasalt method this year. It was a nightmare by...
