    Staining

    Not sure if I am posting this is the right spot. I tried used absorbic acid for a stain in my deep end. I left the sock on it for about an hour and now the plater is discolored a dark gray color. Did I take the plaster off the bottom of the pool? :( Any advice on what to do?

    Chlorine Help

    I have checked Home Depot and Lowes and they have been out of stock for about a month. So is walmart. I can get some at Ace, but they are limiting it to 4 bottles. Since 4 bottles will only get me through a week or so, I was hoping for a more long term solution. I really do not want to have...

    Chlorine Help

    Good morning everyone! I am at a loss and hoping that someone here might be able to help. I have been using bleach for the pool for about 3 years, until last year when the pandemic made bleach hard to come by. I switched to liquid chlorine "Pool Essentials" that I got from walmart and it...

    Chlorinator leaking

    It spouting from the lid like a fountain. I doubled up on the o ring and removed the canister that holds the chlorine tablets because it felt like it was preventing the top from catching the threads. It is working as of right now.

    Clorox Germicidal Bleach Concentrated

    Is this ok to use in the pool? My mom bought it online and was so excited because bleach has been hard to come by around here since COVID started. I just don't know if I can use this in the pool. Any input is much appreciated!

    Water level dropping in filter baskets during off time

    It doesn't move once it's screwed on, but I have seen water come through the seam between the clear plastic part when I turn the pump off.

    Water level dropping in filter baskets during off time

    Thank you so much! The pool is 5 years old. The only water I see by the equipment pad is on the pump basket itself. The clear plastic window seems to rotate and sometimes allows water and air into the system.

    Water level dropping in filter baskets during off time

    I am hoping that what I am describing here is going to make sense. I have a timer on my pump. While the pump is running the water level in the filter basket area is fine. It is totally full and there are no issues. The problem comes when the pump turns back on. There is definitely not as...
