Thanks for your input the other day. Got everything cleaned up and out back together. No problems. Running great. Thank you. H

Our power has been out for more than 24 hours. It is 0 degrees in Fort Worth Tx. I drained the pump and filter, and feel like that is pretty safe. I have fiberglass pool and have been breaking the ice around the edges aver two hours because I am worried about it breaking the pool. Is that an...

You gotta laugh!!!! I’ve been messing with this and worrying about it for 2.5 hours!! It was a 6 in twig stuck in the DOOR! Fired up, kept pressure, and is working great! Thank you JJ_Tex and Mknauss!

Cleaned the skimmer out and it was full of water. No ice. The water was a little low, but I added some anyway. Cleaned the basket. I usually just run the skimmer and vacuume but went ahead and opened the main drain just to allow mor water. The pump sucks and fills up. Runs for a few seconds...

Pump ran all night and sounded good this morning. I thought it would warm up today and I had the timer go off about 10am. Well it was below freezing all day, and when I go hope about 530, I went to start he pool pump. unfortunately the freeze protection switch does not work. Any way. I...

We have an older Kreepy Krawly suction vacuum, and it works great. I leave it connected all the time, and pull it out when we have a group of people over to swim. The pump runs for about 4 hours in the morning and about 1 hour in the evening. We do have a large tree on one side that covers a...

Welcome to TFP from another fellow Texan. You will learn a lot here from people and about testing. I use the TF-100. I am pretty new to this, and the instructions that come with the kit are very easy, and there are also notes and videos. Don't be overwhelmed by the test kits. Once you are...

Texas Spalsh and sktn77a, Thank you for the feedback. I should have put something next to the spots to give some idea about he size. They are really pretty small. Maybe about a 1/4 in or so. Glad to hear it is not blisttered. I am not really sure what that would look like. I am betting...

I wondered about that. I noticed the vile was a bit cloudy itself, and I usually swish some water in it when I am done and let it air dry. Next round, I will make sure and scrub it and make sure there is no residue. Thanks. H

Good Morning, I started cleaning some spots and fine tuning details after a major SLAM and clean up job. Upon further inspection, I noticed that these black spots wer not stains as I thought but rather seem to be blisters in the pool surface. This is on the top step of an older fiberglass...

Good Morning. I was doing my daily tests and maintenance earlier this morning, and had a strange test experience. I was testing for FC. I put 10 mls of water in the vile. Water was clear as shown in the picture below. I added a scoop of R-0870 powder and mixed. The water had no color and...
