Good morning guys, I am having some trouble with my water chemistry and hope you can help. Chlorine 18x38 pool 9' deep end I opened the pool in April and got it right pretty quick but since then it has turned a bit. Water is still clear but it is not "crystal" clear. I have been doing it long...

Good morning - I am having some issues getting my pool exactly where I want it and was hoping someone here could help. I have a 18x38 chlorine pool with a 9.5 deep end. Vinyl liner. On the recommendations of the page from last year I have recently installed a Pentair Intelliflo pump as well as...

I have the hook up for a robotic cleaner but my pool store wants to charge me 1500 bucks for one (not sure which one) I have been on this site enough to know that the pool store is the absolute worst place to save money. I am guessing I can get what I need for much less and I bet that ya'll can...

I want to get a new motor that is less noisy. I have read the stuff about my making my current motor quiet but that has not helped much. And of course I turn it off when I need to so that helps a little bit but ultimately I want to replace at some point Suggestions? I have 18x38 in ground pool...

Taylor Kit - - - Updated - - - A tad cloudy twice and then the other was mustard algae...I could see it on the floor. Again - not terrible but I have had a pool long enough to know when things are starting to turn. I could usually slam in a day.5 I have a well with which I can fill my pool if...

I have been using the TFP method all year and I cannot say that it has not worked. My pool has been crystal clear all summer. But I do have a question: Maybe I am doing this wrong but I seem to be adding lots and lots of bleach. Not to mention I have had to slam it 3 times this summer which...

I guess my main question is.....if I have to add that much bleach per day....how is this going to be cheaper? It will run me about 6 bucks per day which will add up quickly

How often should I need to add chlorine? I find myself adding 1 to 2 gallons per day to maintain. That can't be right. ...right?! This will get expensive.

Ok.....slamming now. Overshot a little. Just checkled and FC is 15 ( was supposed to get to at least 10) ......how long should I hold it there?

I got on the computer this am and added it....wonder why it is not showing?

How many gallons of bleach do you think I will need to start with? Or use total?
