Question. Where our automatic Pool cover is and the top of the tile liklne there is a gap. Do I need to caulk this area to keep water from getting into the space? Or is it fine to leave how it is. If I need to caulk it any recommendations on brand or type of caulk? Also there is some grout...

I plan on doing that. I didn't want to drain as prime swimming season for my kids is upon us. Thank you for the response.

So glad I found this post! These look like the exact stains in my pool. Ive tried cleaning these stains for the last couple weeks using the tips in the identify stains page of the forum with no avail. I live in southern utah and have lots of dirt flying around. Is there any harm waiting to...

Hey everyone, Not sure if this is the right spot to post this so feel free to move it to the correct place if needed. I am in the market for new filters and wonder if anyone has any recommendations on who to purchase from. Also if there is any coupon codes available that would be awesome...

thank you for that article. I am going to try and just paint the PVC until I can figure out a way to build some sort of enclosure.

Hi all, I am not sure this is in the right forum so feel free to move it to the correct one if needed. I live in southern utah and we are subject to above 100 degrees in the summer time. My pool equipment is outside and exposed to the elements. I have noticed my PVC plumbing that is above...

yes mine finally went away. i actually took my SWG apart to make sure it wasn't dirty. Still cant figure out why it did it but I have yet to see it happen again

well I tested my CYA toay and it went up to 50. I tested it in the same spot i tested last time and outside with the sun to my back and both read pretty much the same.

My CH and TA have been pretty stable for a month...ill try to redo the test again in different lighting post those results. Won't be able to do that for a couple days though. Wish the tf-100 kits came with more CYA testing solution though😄

I'm using the tf-100 kit. I purchased my CYA from home depot. I'll have to try it again but outside next time.

No auto fill. Didnt think about the lighting. I did it in my kitchen so I just had kitchen lights on above me. What could cause contamination to CYA. I purchased it from hoke depot about 2 months ago. Not sure how long it was on their shelf for though.

It took about 2 days to fully dissolve. And it was put in one week ago. I have an automatic cover on my pool so its difficult to have a sock/mesh bag keeping it near a return jet.

I have a question. One week ago my CYA was 30. I had it as high as 60-70 previously but with splash out and refiling it had dropped down to 30. I added the recommended amount of dry stabilizer per pool math and tested my CYA today again and it still was reading 30. I added it to my pool by...

Good to know...just freaked me out because I've never seen it happen before.
