Thanks, I'll try the ascorbic acid process. I've tried to get them to use Polyquat only but its nearly impossible when they are servicing so many pools to not use what they use on everyone else's pool. Don't know what they use but I'm pretty certain algaecide contains copper. I take care of...

Curious if anyone has used a company Poolstainremovers.com for stain removal? They are based out of Utah with multiple places in Florida, Texas and California. I have a multi-stain situation due to the aftermath of Hurricane Ian and an accumulation of years of pool service by people other than...

All Taylor reagents except for OTO for PH. Also Combined CH is zero and has been post initial open. Will raise FC and see it still occurs. Thanks

I had my 15 year old dark blue Liner which had a tear and was heavily faded replaced at close last year with a lighter blue Loop-Loc liner (Camino Lagoon). My question is; Does the color of the liner impact Algae on the pool Liner? I've heard darker liners have less Algae issues. I never had...

They told me my pool was in very good shape. I think the issue is the temperature was in the 50's when they installed it. They had to pour hot water on the liner to stretch it in spots and still could not get the line into the tracks. Hopefully now that its warmer they can properly fix it...

Last Fall I had my inground vinyl pool liner replaced. Due to supply issues it was replaced later and in cooler weather than I would have preferred. It's a large Pool - Straight L 20X45 feet and 28 feet at the shallow end of the "L". Its also Tri-Level and has a cuddle cove. Basically a...

Trying to get a head start on pool opening and filled a mesh bag with CYA hanging from an eyebolt inside pool. Filter is not running. I always did this from the skimmer after opening and starting up the filter but I replaced the liner last year then closed the pool so zero stabilizer. Since...

Thanks. I went with the Dyco Pool Paint, 5 gallons did the entire Lanai with 2 coats including coping edge and the tub wall for the infinity edge. Went with the Cream color but think next time I will go with the Adobe color which many people suggest, the cream shows too much dirt, the adobe is...

I had an issue with my 15 year old heater last year. It was kicking off the breaker. You mentioned cleaning out debris could thos wires have been chewed up by small rodents? That was my problem. Rewired the damaged area and put some camphor packets as a deterrent and it everything worked...

Wondering if I could get some advice on repainting my pool deck. Its in Florida, installed in 2005 and believe it was repainted twice (previous Owner). The deck is "Flo-Crete" which I believe is an acrylic based top over concrete. It is also textured. I've cleaned it with bleach/water and...

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately the pool is in another State than me right now so I can't. The person that maintains my pool pool said she tried adjusting the valves and it did not fix the problem. I am the 2nd owner and the pool was built high tech with motorized valves, with remote...

Hi, does anyone know if or how often the basin drain on an infinity edge pool needs to be cleaned and how to do it ? Recently, it appears the the drain is clogged as the basin is filled at the correct level ( I have an auto fill in the basin) because the pool level is lower and not spilling...
