Thank you.

Ok, I brought it to shock level last night and am maintaining. Still no noticeable clearing of the water.

Ok, thanks. I did bring it to shock level when the cloudiness first arrived a little over 2 weeks ago but I did not maintain it.

Don't do anything. If you knew what was at the bottom of even the cleanest lakes and rivers people swim in you'd probably rather eat that dead mouse you just found than swim in them.

Had this pool for 10 years and have never had this problem. Water has been cloudy for over a week and I cannot clear it. It is milky in color and I can barely see the main drain in the deep end which is only 6'. Two days ago I tried using Alum, adding it directly to the skimmer to aid the...

ok. Thank you.

I see. I don't have any experience with changing out pool lights. Obviously this involves draining below the level of the light and resealing the light housing.

It passed inspection. It runs 6' from the pool to the house then through a box 24" off the ground then to the light switch.

The cord only runs about 6 feet under my decking to the outlet attached to my house. I'm hoping to avoid replacement but it look like that may not happen. Anyone recommend a different product with a better seal? This one seems awful crude. - - - Updated - - - I pulled the fixture out and...

Yes, the gasket goes around the lens, the lens sits on top of the case and the stainless compression ring sits over everything and is pulled tight with one screw.

I have a Pentair Amerlite 500w pool light (pictured below) that has been leaking since my pool was built years ago. I did not notice it right away and figured it was something I could fix on my own quite easily...not the case. Here is what I have tried: 1) Bought and installed an...

Ok. thanks.

This past summer during a very heavy storm have my box drains in the yard backed up causing a lot of water and sediment from the yard to flow into the pool. Could that bring iron into the pool if the yard had been fertilized months earlier? Does all fertilizer contain iron? - - - Updated - -...

I do fertilize the backyard around the pool. I'm very careful to never get near the pool decking with a spreader but the grass does come to within 3' of the pools edge on one side.

I came home this afternoon to find a crystal clear pool! I think once the AA dropped the FC level, it cleared right up. My wife said it happened in a matter of hours. My new issue is where the iron is coming from. My water report from the town shows no iron in the water.
