    Hello, Just got my pool recently and thinking about cleaning my cartridge in the foreseeable future. I bought BioGuard Filter Brite (BioGuard Filter Brite™ (250g) Filter Cleaner (SKU 4813): Amazon.ca: Patio, Lawn & Garden) and realized it was 15$ a bag. I saw 3 bags left in the box at pool...

    Above ground pool vacuum recommendations:

    Thanks guys. It's really weird to get mixed signals like this. I wish they'd get their facts straight.

    Above ground pool vacuum recommendations:

    Does it vacuum up your walls? I called Dolphin and they said the models which go up walls have a chance to puncture the liner. What is your opinion on this?

    Stabilized sticks

    Thanks! I read about 3 of those links. I did get the Taylor 2006 test kit. It was expensive here I know it will be useful but I think I will supplement with something cheap like test strips or something. Did I mention it's really expensive to get Taylor test kits and reagents here? BTW the pool...

    Stabilized sticks

    This is hilarious. I didn't think the response would suck so bad. I'm a new customer and that initial response has a lasting impression! The short season idea was mine and not his btw. What would you recommend? I think if I did use liquid chlorine I would need some stabilizer right? Maybe I...

    Stabilized sticks

    Hello, I'm about to get my pool installed at the end of the month so today I finally went to the pool store to see what products they offer and what I would be receiving during the install (yes I can go to homedepot or walmart but I wanted to see what my local pool store offers before I venture...

    Salt water system for above ground pool

    So then in that case it may be that we couldn't use materials that would last longer with SWG because our winters are too harsh

    Salt water system for above ground pool

    Hello, I wanted to get a salt system for my above ground pool and the salesman discouraged us by saying it cuts the life of above ground pools by half. So basically it would take it's life down to about 7-10 yrs. He said the salt is so corrosive it would make us have to replace our whole pool...

    My pool isn’t installed yet but what reagents do you think I’ll be buying extra besides the kit? Just cya and chlorine test reagents? Also where do you buy your Taylor stuff?

    Taylor k-2006 how long before I need to replace reagents

    Taylor k-2006 how long before I need to replace reagents

    Hello, I just received my taylor k-2006 test kit. I have not had my pool installed yet but with all the covid stuff it has forced me to think ahead since shipping can take up to a month to receive my items. I was just wondering are there any of the reagents that I'll have to replace quickly and...
