So my pool was a renovation but it did not have an overflow drain. I’m worries about heavy rain which can cause overflow while away on vacation. I have all my equipment connected to easytouch system. Any ideas of how I can remotely drain water from the pool or perhaps a pump that I can leave on...

You may have a good point. When I shocked (liquid chlorine), the ph was at 7.8 and I realized the swg was still at 20%.

thanks, but i acid washed the salt cell before opening and again yesterday. I’ll wait it out and see what happens.

Opened my pool and after shocking it, I noticed white flakes floating around the water’s surface. Initially I tried to skim it with the net but particles are too small. Visited the pool store, and although pool levels were spot on, I was advised that it may be white water mold. Backwashed and...

Thank you for your replies. I actually read through another thread here and someone recommended a heated water hose, which is normally used for potable water in RV’s during winter months. I connected it and it works great. Tip: loop it around the pump once or twice and it never allows ice to...

Thanks for the info. I realized the issue was the actual hose the froze. I actually read on another forum about heated hoses with a thermostatic switch. Just ordered one. Let’s see if it helps.

Just wanted to know if anyone has any ideas. On how I can prevent the cover pump and hose from freezing when it snows over 12”. I’ve read about heater water hoses, but that still doesn’t solve the issue of the pump being completely covered by snow.

My pool is a steel frame and after a full renovation we decided to go with a thermal edge bluestone coping for a more modern and clean look. The pool was built in the 90’s and so the walls aren’t perfectly straight. I had the PB put a 4ft rough concrete pour around the pool which will carry the...
