I was thinking you couldn’t put anything on it for a week but wasn’t sure.Thanks guys!

I am planning to have a concrete pad poured for all my pool equipment (pump, filter, heater, liquidator). Do I need to reroute my equipment so the pool water circulates and doesn’t turn green while the concrete cures? Outside temperatures have been a steady 75° to 80° if that matters...

Copy. Thank you

Thanks for the help. Any recommendations on a brand or model of check valve to install? And when I do install a check valve, does it matter if the valve runs vertical or horizontal (my old one ran vertical)? I do have two 3 way valves which I posted questions on in another thread I have...

so is this correct? when I turn the lower valve to "spa" it activates the jets. When I turn the upper valve to "spa" it causes warm water from the heater to flow into spa? I can't test my upper valve theory because my heater hasn't work since I bought this house in 2008...

got it and thanks! Yes,they are under the cement deck and there are no other valves above ground by my equipment. I'm thinking I should install some? - - - Updated - - - yes sir, written in sharpie under both handles.

thanks. When and or under what what circumstances would I need to turn the handle/s in my picture I posted a link to?

Sorry for the long read but I don't know if my symptoms are related or coincidence. On Thursday evening (April 20th) I dropped in a bottle of Natural Chemistry Stain Free to remove some stains in my pool that were not brushing out. Pool water was crystal clear before adding and most stains...

First time pool owner. Bought the house which was a foreclosure in 2008. Had a pool man from the time of purchasing the home up until January 2017. Have since fired him and have been vacuuming, skimming, adding bleach myself. Here is my set up: Here are the stains: What are...

ok, this makes me feel better. I took a wall whale to the spots and they didn't budge. i will get pics tomorrow afternoon when I get home. Thanks!

both if possible. now im paranoid that stain is mustard algae as it looks to like the beginning stages when I compare to pics online...
