I have recently added an IC40 SWG to my pool. Everything has gone great and outside of having to constantly having to manage pH due to the amount of aeration the pool gets from the infinity edge, the chemistry has been relatively easy to maintain. Combined chlorine has never been present in...

My pool is a Euro Edge (infinity) on all 4 sides of the pool in addition to having a large raised spa that has the same edge on all 4 sides. No matter how much I add to the pool within 2 days the pH will rise to 8.0 (or higher) using my Taylor Test Kit. I suspect this is due to the aeration...

I was getting a quote from my pool builder on a SWG for my pool. The pool already has an Easytouch 4 system installed. I feel like it should integrate with the automation system so I can control it remotely but I am not sure how important any of you really feel that it. Additionally, they...

First let me say that I am a newer pool owner and am learning this as I go along. I have had services managing my pool and for one reason or another have been through several and am trying to get things adjusted to my liking. The current company has been managing for a few months. They took...

I have been allowing my pool maintenance company to manage my pool chemicals and until recently everything has been great. They hired a new person to clean my pool and things rapidly deteriorated with significant algae. We now have that under control however now my Alkalinity is significantly...

The long and short of this is that when I turn the spa on (heater running, pool off, no blower) the spa becomes incredibly cloudy. When in pool mode with the pump running (return water goes to the spa and pool) the spa water is crystal clear. It appears that the chemicals are balanced with the...

As you can see from the attached pics, I have a perimeter overflow pool. There is only one pump as the edge spill over is gravity fed back to a large collecting tank on the side of the house prior to being filtered and sent back to the pool. I would like more water to be pushed over the edge...

I am concerned with a Category 3 hurricane bearing down on us what the proper treatment for the pool is. As a perimeter overflow pool it is always overflowing. The pool manufacturer states that I should just leave the pool running (as long as we have power. I am concerned that I should lower...

I recently purchased a home with a perimeter overflow pool. I was using the Francis Formula to calculate the GPM of water that I need to push 1/16 inch of water over the edge. The problem I am encountering is that I have a rectangular raised perimeter overflow spa that sits inside the...

My pool was recently retiled and plastered. I am now a week in and the amount of plaster dust does not seem to be decreasing. The pool maintenance company is the same as the builder of the pool and state that the chemicals are now balanced properly. Shouldn't my plaster dust be dissipating...
