I read that some people complained it looked like blood so they won't do a steady red option. Eyes rolling hard. Would have been great for Halloween. Magenta it is I guess.

Mine went away after a about 3 weeks. I treated the lawn with 2 doses of onslaught. I dawned the poop a few times. I got skimmer socks and changed every day. I would hose the pool and also swirl water around manually to try to drown. I also tore out the dead sod from around the pool and stopped...

Hi..I used onslaught fastcap. Will try those next time. You mix them?

Interesting. Mine were much much much smaller. Almost invisible to the eye except like a jumping layer on the water.

I treated the sod and had the overflow fixed. Im always worried about them coming back. What a nightmare. I do see some here and there. Dawn didn't really work for me much but maybe I didn't use enough.

Yeah no it didn't come off. The blue faded a bit with light power washing. I'm going to live with the coping which stinks but I don't want the hassle. They are replacing about 16 pavers. Sorry it happened to you too. You do tend to notice less over time.

Added some soap...no real bubbles and it was very diluted. I also tried to make a vortex of death with my hands trying to drown them. Still lots of springtails. I'm really going to lose it.

Hi Jim. Well, I'm embarrassed to say it was a slightly twisted o ring. That fixed it. I really hate relying on a pool company but am not brave enough yet. There is no excuse for a tech to leave without taking the extra 2 minutes to make sure everything is running right. It would have been...

Jandy e stealth pump 2.7 variable speed. I'm going to check the impeller...cartridge filter. PSI good and cleaned 1 mo ago. Pool kid adjusted the position of the jets and cleaned the baskets but that is about it other than some acid. I definitely had nothing clog the skimmer from my doing...no...

While I was out there the pump turned off and said cell reversing. Is that normal? I never saw it do that before...and the thing has been running for only 3 weeks

Lid totally tight but will get lube. (There is a joke in there somewhere).

Hi. Newbie here. Pool company came for service and after the pool company kid left, we had visible air in the pump, loss of suction in 1 of 2 skimmers (no clog) and continuous bubbles out of the same side return jet. We looked around..no visible leaks and everything seems in order. It was a new...

These things won't die. Could the overflow drain be the problem? My water always splashes into mine as a feel it is set flow. Also, the pipe daylights underground. It was clogged with mud so I put a cap/grate on it and covered the area with rocks. Now I have springtails. The pipe is definitely...

So...my pool is crystal clear but infested with springtails or mites after heavy rains. They won't diiiiiieeeeee. Salt cell turned up. Pump going strong. Skimmer socks on. Perhaps shocking pool. Tried skimmer- not super successful. Can I add 3 drops of dawn to this 14.5k gallon pool to spray...

I also have deck drains about 8 feet away. PS do you know how to edit a post?
