I am not sure who invented the lid to this unit but it has absolutely no grip when trying to open it. The small tabs on the side just cause you to lose your grip and punch the filter. Does anyone know of a tool that could use to remove this lid? I was debating on buying a belt wrench to help...

Has anyone ever bought waterproof LEDS from Amazon? IF so which ones. i would like to do some night swimming and would like to add some LED lights to the underside of the pool rail. Curious if anyone out there have done this, if you have pics of your please post pics i would live to see it as...

I guess my question was is there a concentrated way to test low cya, when I tested it was below 30 and unable to tell what it is exactly. If I could get a concentrated number like 40 I could half it and know it was 20. Does that make sense??

Is there a way to do a concentrated cya test? I only have enough for one test left. Can I half the amounts and then just half the total?

Can you test cya during a slam process? My pool was 50 on opening when I recently returned from vacation Friday the pool was clear with alot of green algae in bottom because I left pump on low because person watching it was unable to care for it. I did t want the basket getting jammed up etc...

Thanks for the generous offer but will pass. Still debating if I want to deal with a cover inside my head. We have a fence all around our pool which I think will make removing it a nightmare not to mention a million pool floats kids never take out. Was contemplating building a solar heater or...

tagging along, i am in the same boat curious as to how much heat loss on return back to pool would be. I actually thought about placing the tubing slightly underground to keep it warm

Thanks to covid-19 trying to find a solar pool cover locally for our 27ft round pool that only gets about 4 hours of sun a day is tough. A friend of our just recently installed his pool and it came with a solar cover however his pool is only 21ft. I seen another post with a similar question but...

Yeah it wanted me to add 3 quarts I added 1 and will retest

Question if my cya was super low like 15 could I do a concentrated test to make sure it's really this low? The cya test sucks and wanted to make sure I'm really this low and for a pool with 4 hours of sun it's still kinda low. I added 7ml of cya reagent and only 3.5 cc of pool water and was able...

Ok I can bring the pool back up to SLAM levels , I have read that you can swim in pool while slamming is this really true? FC of 16 freaks me out and would think it be aggressive on the skin especially on my little ones. Thanks

Currently pool FC IS 5.5 CC 0, CYA 30, ALK 90 and PH 7.6

So I recently slammed my pool for 6 days and OCLT was .5 and CC is 0 and pool was soarkilimg clear, however a few days later as my FC levels were coming down and I pit pump back on 12 hour cycle I noticed this at bottom of pool when pump was off. This is what I deal with 24/7. This greenish...
