    Thanks. 2 weeks ago we had algae present and the pool store had us put 2lbs of shock and brush the walls daily. Would this have something to do with th cc number?

    New build complete MA

    New test kit question CYA test

    Hi. We are new pool owners this year. I ordered the trouble free pool kit and tried to do the CYA test. The tube for the CYA test does not have a black dot at the bottom. Should I put a black dot on with a sharpie?

    New pool construction in MA- liner decision

    Hi all we are getting a new pool installed next month and I'm wondering if anyone has these liners. Imperial pools sandstone or granit gray. I am trying to decide between the two. I know they are different tones. Any plus or minus's to each? Thank you!
