After much reading on cleaners I decided to get the Rover Jr because of such great reviews. In anticipation of her arrival i did not vacuum for several days and had much debris in the pool to test with. Like over posts i did not get the transformer with adjustable timer, just a button to press...

Thank you both

Thanks for you help

My TA numbers have been rising for the past 3 seasons starting out at 120 and now it is 210. So i am going to go threw the process of lowering with MA and aeration this weekend. I have a couple questions.... 1. How long after adding the acid is it safe for use? or is the acid diluted enough...

Thank you, I just wanted to be sure before i started dumping stuff in the pool.....lol Thx

Home depot has morton brand and a off brand but neither say anthing about purity. Only says on the bag no additives. Also it thought it would look like white water softner pellets. But it says extra course and looks like the stuff you put on your cement to melt ice in the winter. Is this the...

thanks everyone

this is where my ignorance should really shine through :-D my thought is that is 13 is good then 20 is better having read alot of posts about this subject it seemed the high fc level is bad for most pools because of some liner issues but i do not have a liner...

yes i have been brushing 2-3 times a day and vacuming once a day. the ph has been fine all year but the t/a has been high all summer started at around 220 and has come down in the last couple of months (i have been sticking my head in the sand about that one :( ) it is getting better just...

i cracked open the sand filter and the main manifold is broke in half with the lateral just laying around on top of the sand...i am assuming its getting into the pool and as i vaccum to waste its throwing it out that way...since im still in the converting stage i cant make out the bottom of the...

I am in the middle of converting from bacquacil and yesterday the pump locked up. I bought a new pump to replace it since it was about 3 yrs old. The new one lasted 2 days and started making a loud whinning sound so i returned it figuring it was defective...Now i have been vacuming and...

thanks for clearing that up ;)

Going into day 3 I lost 5 ppm overnight so i added another 1.5 gal of bleach to bring it back up to 15 ppm. Still a little unclear as to the delivery method of the bleach as some posters say they add it to the skimmer. Is walking around the pool and dumping it in not as good to do? thanks tld
