    Beauty Strips on Pool Steps

    I found the strips, but would love to know if anyone knows where to get the end caps. Mine look terrible. https://frankwall.com/product/vinyl-step-seal-strips/

    Robot Cleaners

    I'm trying to simplify my life and every little time saver I can come up with will help. I have a Hayward Tiger Shark Robot cleaner for our pool. It does a great job cleaning, but cleaning the filters is water and time consuming. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem, and if so, did...

    SLAM OR NO SLAM?

    Sorry for the omission. I added auto cover to the signature. It is a brand new auto cover this year. I will do my best with open/close to remove algae. Thank you for your help. Have a great weekend.

    SLAM OR NO SLAM?

    During SLAM, would you at least close and open the pool cover daily, or a couple times daily so the bottom touches the high clorine level, to treat the bottom of the cover? Of course in addition to the backwash and brushing walls, etc.

    SLAM OR NO SLAM?

    With the CYA at 80, if I SLAM, should I backwash to get rid of water and refill to decrease the CYA level? Full readings this AM are: pH 7.2 FC 16.5 (was 20 at bedtime) CC 0 TC 16.5 Alk 80 pH 7.2 CYA 80 Pool still slightly cloudy. Maybe a little less.

    SLAM OR NO SLAM?

    The pool did not pass the OCLT test. I haven't backwashed since it was open. Any possibility that would work or is SLAM my only option? I just find it so odd that it happened so quickly and I don't have an explanation.

    CELL LIGHT WILL NOT STAY ON

    So, if I set it on 100%, the light should always stay on. Not that I want it at 100%, but just as a TEST.

    CELL LIGHT WILL NOT STAY ON

    Intellichlor 40 , only a few years old. All lights are green except the Cell Light. Salt level light is green on the Intellichlor and by my testing. Flow light is green. When I bump up the % chlorine production, the cell light comes on, but then the next time I check it, the cell light is off...

    SLAM OR NO SLAM?

    Mice, Mice, Mice!

    No, I'm not sure. I really didn't look that close. We have had a lot of rain that is for sure. If we have another, I'll look closer. I've looked at baby mice and baby moles on line. I think it's a little hard to tell them apart as a baby. I GUESS I SHOULD NEVER ASSUME!

    Mice, Mice, Mice!

    So we opened the cover box tonight and much to mu surprise.....NO MICE. Now I have to admit that there are areas of the box that I can't see, but I didn't see any evidence of mice in the part that I was able to visualize. (I would have to remove the cover from the roller to see all of the box...

    Mice, Mice, Mice!

    I'm going to have my husband open the cover box tonight. YIKES. And Moth Balls it is. I am betting money they are in there and I'm hoping they have not eaten through the ropes or the cover. I thought the ropes were metal? Maybe the lack of activity in the cover box over the summer gave...

    Mice, Mice, Mice!

    We have had our pool for 7 years and I've never had any problems with mice. Tonight I found our third mouse this year. The first one was on the bottom of the pool and the last two were in the skimmer. The only thing different this year, is the use of Boric Acid and the fact that I've left the...

    Aww-some Cleaner

    I don't want to put things in the pool that are not needed, I just thought I'd ask. I'll do the search Yippeeskippy suggested. Thanks.
