    Too high pressure

    Opened my pool today. My filter’s psi is around 40 and it doesn’t go down to 0 when I turn it off. I thought it usually did, Maybe I’m wrong? I’ve backwashed twice today. What else can I do?

    Test kit

    I forgot that my test kit was still on my porch and the weather has been in the 40s. Will it be ok next spring to use or will I need to get a new one?

    Bleach

    My husband accidentally bought 8 gal of lavender scented bleach. Will it screw up anything if I use it, or should I drag it back to the store for an exchange?

    Cya

    I live in wv and we just got our first bit of warm days. I had high cya last fall so thought I’d check it to see how much I’m going to have to drain AND if I’m doing it right- it’s gone from 90-100 down to 40-50. Is that possible over a winter? Or am I getting a false reading because the water...

    I've previously had an Intex pool and have used the TFP method for two years and that pool stayed clear from beginning of season to end. We even left it up last winter for the first time, it was still clear in May (I live in WV). Previously using pool store numbers and suggestions my pool was...

    Want to insulate sides of Intex Pool:

    Has anyone done this? and if so, could you share some pics? I have an Intex pool, I really think I the water would stay warmer longer if the thin plastic sides were insulated. Just not sure how to go about it. Half of my pool is under a deck, but the half that is toward our house would be seen...

    Best place to buy a winter cover?

    I've looked online at several places. They all have lots of bad reviews and good reviews. I'm so confused. I live in rural Wv and have an Intex pool. Most of my shopping is done through Amazon, but should I go through a pool store for this? Which one? And I'd just like to say I'm thankful for...

    Suggestions for upgrade: AG pool is going to be taller than deck
