    Pool opened to brown water - dust from TX/NM

    Thank you. Yes, I’m sure as it was all over the news as to why our snow was brown and not white like normal 🤣 I guess they had some dust storm prior to ours and it got carried up. Weather is unpredictable around here!! I know sand filters take a bit, does it help to have my pump speed up higher...

    Pool opened to brown water - dust from TX/NM

    We just opened our pool to brown water. Late March, we got a snow storm here in NE which carried a bunch of dust from TX and NM and left behind a sheet of thick brown sediment everywhere after the brown snow melted. I’m assuming much went through our mesh cover. You can see remains on the pool...

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    Well another Scuba S1 death after 6 months. When I plug in, it flashed red twice and then won’t charge. Assuming a battery issue though I remove after charging and keep in the shade. Contacted Aiper and they said they want to send a refurbished replacement. Is this standard or has everyone been...

    Fine dirt/silt on bottom of liner -SOLVED

    Oh wow, that was a lot! Unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to graduate to the hierarchy of acceptance. Still a work in progress I guess…maybe if this ends up being a fluke, I will do so to preserve my sanity. But probably not. On the bright side, I’d at least keep my nicely toned arms from...

    Fine dirt/silt on bottom of liner -SOLVED

    Yes, I do now. I had tried to run 18 on, 6 off in years past and I also tried to run at lower speeds. I ended up at 1950 24/7 this year but even running 24/7, the silt would collect. I also have a one hour morning increase to 2400 for extra skimming. The stuff I would see was always a medium...

    Yes, give it a shot, I really hope it works for you! I know how maddening it can be to deal with. I honestly couldn’t believe that this little thing has appeared to finally solve it for me 🤞🏻

    Fine dirt/silt on bottom of liner -SOLVED

    I have been struggling with this dirt/silt issue for 4 years now, reading post after post, convincing myself that I had dead algae. I often slammed for weeks on end even though I would pass multiple OCLTs and I checked and scrubbed every nook and cranny possible. I added DE to my filter, changed...

    Aiper Seagull Pro Review

    I just bought the Aiper Scuba when my Pentair Prowler 920 died in year 5. Couldn’t justify spending so much to replace. The only thing I’m frustrated with is the filter like has been mentioned. My prowler used to pick up all the dirt/dust in the bottom of our pool and the Aiper does not. I tried...

    Envy pool stools

    Looking to add some stools to our pool and just seeing if anyone has these and, if so, thoughts? I was also wondering if you could fill with salt vs sand? My only other concern would be how they would hold up and if it would be difficult or affect the longevity (the handling and moving) to pull...

    Foam for weir door

    Replaced the foam by cutting the closed cell insulation down from Menards…worked so well! Already algae has gone down and none in skimmer box. Beginning to think this was my culprit.

    Foam for weir door

    Thanks! I have checked all and and I brush multiple x /day. I don’t keep the best notes but I test and add 3-4x a day as well. I also backwash more frequently as I have a sand filter and want to rid dead algae from reappearing. My water is crystal and I’ve passed an OLCT but still see a bit of...
