Hi. I will be re-sealing my pool patio soon. I know it will be slippery after the reseal. Was thinking of using an additive. There are a lot of different types in the market. However, I have heard from many that the anti slip usually wears off after a year. Also, some said they could see it on...

HI. We just opened the pool on Thursday. The pool is running 24/7. Still cloudy. Fully vacuumed twice. Have Slammed it it twice using the info on the app, but still can't get rid of the CC. Air temp has been about 55-65 degrees F. Water Temp: 58 CYA: 35 (In the process of raising) PH: 7.2 FC: 2...

I would think it should be sealed for protection shouldn't it? If it was just because they worried about the liner, then I will seal it. I noticed my friend's pool has theirs sealed. Just didn't know if there was a certain reason why I shouldn't.

Hi. It's pointing to the approx 4" concrete edge above the liner that is the edge of the stamped concrete patio.. Should I seal that part as well? The people that did it originally didn't seal that area.

Hi. I am about to reseal my stamped concrete pool patio. It was previously sealed with an Acrylic sealer with a color added to it. It lasted quite a while. When they originally sealed the patio, they did not include the egde of the patio within the pool area itself. Shouldn't that concrete be...

This will really sound like a silly question, but here it goes. …. I will be storing my cartridge filter and oring inside for the winter…..Should I put lube on the oring for storing and/or before use in spring? Didn’t know if it dries out in storage. Thanks Rich

Is it ok to use the Blaster Silicone Lubricant spray on O’Rings? Especially on the large O’Ring on the cartridge filter ? Thanks Rich

Is it recommended to put O Ring lube on the Oring on the plug (see photo) when closing/winterizing the pool ? Thanks Rich

I’m trying to decide if I should remover my skimmer weir when I winterize my inground pool. I haven’t done so in the last few years, but have seen articles saying you should. Any thoughts on if and why I should remove it or not? Thanks Rich

Thanks. I also add about 5 gallons of liquid chlorine to the water after draining. Not sure if needed, but water seems clear at opening. :)

Hi. I've read the closing an inground pool process. It says to SLAM a few days before, and let it come down to normal as long as the Overnight test holds. 1. However, if I consistently do not have any CC showing, do I need to SLAM at all before closing? 2. I do add polyquat 60 before draining...
