    What is this on my tile and how to get rid of it?

    It's hard to capture in the picture, but it goes all the way around my pool and tanning ledge. The tile below the water is shiny and slick. the tile above the water is foggy/cloudy and you can scratch gunk off. I can take a Mr. Eraser and get it off and make it shiny, but in about a month, it...

    What is that for? And, what do I have on the tile?

    What is this on my tile and how to get rid of it?

    This has started to come up on my tile all around the pool. Where the water hits the tile, it is shiny; above the water line, it is cloudy looking and not slick. FYI, I always have to add muriatic acid at least once per week to our pool as it usually tests 8.2 range. I also frequently have...

    1-YR OLD IC-40 quit - Is there something better?

    Not sure about warranty. I will take it to the pool store/builder in the morning. I use the TF-Pro Salt test to check the salt, as recommended by this forum.

    1-YR OLD IC-40 quit - Is there something better?

    My pool is exactly one year and one week old. My IC-40 salt cell is not producing chlorine. The light was flashing "inspect cell", which we took off today and cleaned (even though I did not think it looked like it needed it). We re-assembled. That light quit flashing; however, the red light...

    Help! My chlorine is 0, but my salt is 3800.

    I have the Easy touch system. All is well now. I had the output on 65% since before I had it on 85%, and chlorine has been at 9 for about 6 weeks. That's actually why I wasn't checking it every day. I upped it a little bit tonight. All the lights are good now. I'm not sure if this had...

    Help! My chlorine is 0, but my salt is 3800.

    I put in lots of regular bleach. All liquid chlorine was sold out in our town. The cell is 1 year old. I have a TF-100 salt test kit, and my testing read 3800, which is what I thought it would read. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had let my water get down farther...

    Help! My chlorine is 0, but my salt is 3800.

    Hi - I just checked my weekly test (I know, I know, I should test the chlorine daily, but it's been very high). My chlorine is 0. My salt level is 3800. I had added 3 bags of salt per Pool Math about 4 or 5 days ago. My Intellichlor lights are blinking red and green. Low salt level. What...

    How do you manually vacuum a pool (step-by-step for dummies)?

    Hi - We've had our pool a year, and I have been using the robotic cleaner. Our pool company gave me the manual vacuum but did not show me how to use it. Do I first put in time out mode? Or No? Do I turn the main skimmer thing off? If I put my vacuum hose into one of the three holes that are...

    Flood Lights or Other Lighting on Outside of Pool House

    Hi - We are building a pool pavilion. It will have stacked stone on the columns up 3' and same on the closed side. It's going to be open on three sides (mostly closed on the 4th for a bathroom and pool storage). I have a question about the lighting on the outside of the pool house...
