    Do I need my filter cleaned?

    I have a Pentair FNS Plus filter and my pool guy cleans it every 6 months because he says that is normal maintenance. We had a huge storm and flooding in So Cal this week and my pool had a green tint from all the rain water. My pool guy says my filter needs a cleaning for $120 due to the rain...

    Do I need a "pool guy?"

    I have an inground pool with spa that was built last year that is salt water. It seems pretty self sufficient but I pay a pool service company $125 per month to come out once per week. I noticed recently that they are at my house for all of about 5 minutes. They turn on the pool, which is...

    Is my heater working correctly?

    I appreciate all the help guys. I'm not too sure on all of this. I have the EasyTouch and unfortunately my pool guy has not been much help after the install. I dont really know the routing of the pipes under the ground and Im not sure what is supposed to be running to where.
