When I fill my testing tube to to top and I can still see the eyeball clear as day, so it is registering below 20. Should I bring my CYA up before starting or just start the process? PH is 7.5 Alkalinity 100 I assume this is becuase I lost a lot of water of the winter and topped off with...

Are the Rocky Reels worth the extra cost? Is there anything comparable ? Lot of options out there and want to avoid something that s going to breakdown in two seasons.

So checked it again today and it is staying lit for about 2 solid minutes, then blinks for <1, then switches to "generating". Previously it just blinked for <1 minute then switched to "generating". I did what you suggested and the board started blinking so maybe this is a sign my switch is...

I have the T-9 Salt Cell and Aqua Rite 900 board. Start of my 4th season with both. I started the season by inspecting my cell, so far I inspect my cell at the start of the season and clean/inspect at the end of the season. Cell looks great with next to zero build-up and follow the recommended...

I am going to meet with a contractor and get some french drains installed. I have heavy clay all around and even though there is a slope, you can never have enough drainage.

Hi everyone, Last time we got really heavy rains over a few days, I noticed that there was a bulge of water under my liner at the top step at both ends. I ended up pulling the liner out of it's track about 12", stuck a tiny hose all the way down to the 2nd step, and pulled water out until the...

Hi everyone, We just got slammed with about 3-4" of rain on Friday and Saturday and when I pulled the cover off I noticed that the top step of my pool had water under the liner in the corners, probably a 18" x 18" spot in both corners, nothing drastic. This is an unusual amount of rain in such...

Looking to add some color around the pool area. We should have done this when pouring the deck a few years ago but here we are. Received a quote for about $2800 to do approx 700sq/ft of decking. Don't love the price but it is what it is. I am little concerned about how well the color will hold...

Thanks! Should I lower it at all to prevent the lid from popping?

Hi everyone, All closed up a month ago but have received a lot of rain recently. The skimmer top came loose and when I looked inside, I noticed the skimmer was about 1/3 full with water and it looks like some blue antifreeze. Plus there was an empty, crushed chlorine bottle inside. Two...

**Michigan Only the 2nd year closing the pool and I am stressed out. I've been reading a lot of different information on water level when closing the pool. Last year, my company lowered the water just below the skimmer, placed the tarp like cover on top and had no issues. They blew out the...

Thank you! Just for my own understanding, is this more due to the rain or allowing my FC to dip?
