We're ab out to have a new pool light installed. We want to go with a LED light.....does anybody have any recommendations ono brands?? Specifically speaking, the Hayward ColorLogic vs the Pentair Intellichoice. Please let me know of any advice you may have. Thanks

Just curious if anyone knows a good product to get rid of these stubborn deposits (attached pic) on my pool time....and mainly in the spa. I tried a little cleaner and some elbow grease yesterday and no luck! :roll: It seems like it is hard water deopsits or something. Thanks, as always!

Total amount of Bleach used..... About 24 of the 1.4 gal jugs...or ~ 34 total gallons!! :shock:

Here are the transformation pics......5 days and alot of TLC (not to mention ALOT of chlorine as well!!)...and well worth it!

20 of the 1.4 gallon containers :!:

Ok...now my CC was 1 this evening (was 0.5)....how do I get it to zero? Our pool is now crystal clear...BUT...this is the 3rd morning that our FC has dropped 4-5ppm from 18-20 to 15-16. Sorta feels like we are never gonna get to a loss of 1 or less. :grrrr: I guess we needs to keep shocking...

Re: Help with algea Please read my entire post(s) under: "Just getting started.....New-home-1st-time-pool-owner-a-green-pool-help!!" (it is recent) I just bought a home, had a pump break, had a beautiful pool turn into a swamp, have been fighting the algae war (4th day), and I am a 1st time...

TAAADAAA! ...one more night of shocking and it will be perfect. BBB is the way to go go go!

The pics will be here soon.....you won't believe it! :goodjob:

Walked out to the pool this am and was able to see the bottom drain for the first time in weeks. FC was at 15 so still losing some over night, but hit it with more bleach to bring it back to shock level. Got another question...based on our pool size and equipment, what would be an average...

Here are pics from this evening....see above for pics from this morning. Improvement, yes?

Ok...our FC level this morning, after an AM shock, was 26. We just tested again this evening, and it is now 7.5. Our CYA incresed from 55 to 60. Should we go ahead and shock again with the amt specified in the calculator to reach a goal of 18-20, or do we need to drain some of the water to reach...

OK...here is a few pics.....a before the swamp and 2 from this morning.

Well, I am trying to post/attach a pic here, but am having trouble. When I said, we are almost there....I think we maybe have not done things 100% correct. Last night (late!) we added 9 gallons of bleach. Per the calculator, to bring a FC of 0.5 to 18. I guess we should have retested before we...

Well Howdy.....I was looking for you , but there's no way I could figure out your user name. We are still working at it, and definitely making slow progress. We haven't reached the 18-20 FC level yet, but I think we will today. The water is still bright green, but it is SO much lighter than...
