I like using a fountain not to cool the water temperature, but to increase the pH without effecting the TA. Up here in Michigan I have to heat the water way more then ever thinking about cooling it, and when I do want to drop the temp, I add water. aeration-does-what-t14452.html

I have had to replace my original pump due to a hose that came off. The dealer gave me a 1.5hp Power Pak ii, however it keeps tripping the 20am circuit breaker. I wonder if I can rebuild the original pump? The motor is quieter, it still will turn, but no water flow. Anyone know if this is...

You really need a good test kit, well worth the money. The questions you have are answered much easier with facts. I would guess the high water temperature contributes to the speed of algae growth and I know dumping a gallon a day is expensive, but having your water clear is worth it. Once...

I would say the Liquidator has been the best thing I have added to the pool. Very easy to check the level, fill, and adjust the flow. Toss out the Crud tubing it comes with and upgrade them.

Have your local landscape supply company deliver enough Mason sand, at least 2" all around plus a 6" cove around the base of the wall.

I have used the magic eraser on my liner with very good results, better than anything else I have tried. A product I have used on my boat that works great and has spf40 in it is: http://www.303products.com/shop303/inde ... ectant.cfm I might try that on my liner.

Great job on the pit, now I'd like to see a night shot of it in use! No marshmallows please.

I only used pucks for vacations a couple years ago, now that I have the Liquidator all levels have stabilized. Is replacing the high limit switch a no brainer? Any tips/advice you have to offer?

I will have to take mine apart and inspect the hoses, did you take any photos? I'm a visual kind of guy.

I have the same heater, and am having a similar problem except that it will heat for a couple minutes (I think cool it's fixed) then it stops heating, blower is running, gas does not keep flowing, then after several minutes the blower shuts off and the heater will not work again until I try the...

Welcome to TFP neighbor! My family just loves our pool, I know yours will too. It won't take long for you to understand the BBB and soon you will be checking and adjusting and find it a challenge to find that balance.

She owes you, big time.

So just today I get a call at work from my wife to say that our pool water level is very low, just below the skimmer. I tell her to check the pump/filter/heater/liquidator connections, if all looks normal, fill it up. So she puts the hose in and goes about her day. Comes home and has...

Saw this article: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/05/22/po ... index.html I've trained my kids well, one thing to look for as a pool owner is make sure everyone goes before jumping in, and if they didn't they will need to within the hour. Here's the article: (CNN) -- As the summer swim season...

I would suggest you treat this as we AGP owners do. You need to have 2 check valves installed to prevent this.
