Thank you so much! I am going to give this a try.

I had an invround pool liner replaced I. September of 2020. The liner was put in and the company closed the pool for the winter immediately after they were done placing the liner. Upon opening the pool in spring of 2021 , I discovered the liner had slipped over winter. The company came back any...

Thanks, I will do that. I'm hoping for the best.

Hi, I live in NYS and we have had i issues flooding this year. I have found about 5 crawdads or cray fish in my inground pool. Today as I was standing by the stairs of the pool I heard an intermittent gurgling noise . It was like a stopped up sink letting a bit of air or water out. It was not...

thank you

I'm not sure what sand, but I do know it has glass in it.

Thank you!!! I really appreciate This!

I was not home at the time of install. My testing results are done at tne pool Store and I added what they suggested: 1. 12 lbs of balance pak 100 for low alkalinity. 2. 2.5 cups of balance pak 2 to bring up pH. 3. 12 lbs of balance pak 3 to increase hardness, but I have a vinyl line anyway. 4...

Hi, I have had a DE filter for 25 years and had no problem. Mine died and they put in a sand filter . I know and hope I'm doing something wrong. I have an appreciable amount of what I believe is Dead alge or pollen in my unground pool. I deal with this every year , and this year I had less than...

Happy Thanksgiving to all, I am considering buying a solar cover to rest sun heat and reduce evaporation in my hot tub. I am wondering if I should cut out the area around my skimmer/filter, or cut the blanket to fit the entire inside of the tub. I know this is a pool forum, but I get great...

I only used tne kit to test the PH because I had added too much. I knew I was going to need start up chemicals yesterday, so I took the water to be tested for everything. They told me what to put in and I made the mistake of doubling the oh increaser. After I retested with the Taylor pH reagent...

Hello, I added twice the amount of ph increaser to my pool and , when using the Taylor Testkit , I am getting a reading of at least 8.0 , since that's as high as the kit tests. I can't really do anything about this since the pool stores are closed, but I will get it tested tomorrow. Is this a...

Thank you! I have been told it’s so hard to install things like this that I’m shying away. I had fiber optic lighting, and looked into replacing that , but ultimately decided against it.
