    Pump losing prime

    Make sure your water level is high enough generally half way up skimmer is enough. Also make sure weir door is not stuck blocking water flow into skimmers.

    Opening our pool this spring

    I have them too. Know as millipedes around here! Our local pest control guy sprays for them every spring which helps for a while. Says they live under concrete.

    It’s official, for the first time ever my pool temperature has reached….

    My wife would totally freak out then subsequently pass out if she ever saw one of those in our pool😳. I thinks it’s kinda cool myself.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    I admired how TFP clear my pool water was after opening about a week ago! If you look closely you will see my pool thermometer on the left side against the wall sitting 5.5 feet down.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    So I did an experiment with my new heater last night. Water was at 55dg so I set heater at 68 dg and fired her up. My LP tank was filled to 80% and I wanted to see how much LP I would use heating my water that much-and today was clean the pool day and I'd much rather get in at 68dg than 55dg...

    Let’s see your water after removing winter cover!! **RESURRECTED FOR 2025!**

    To each his own I guess. I’ve been open for a couple weeks now and will continue to open early and close late. My water temp has been up to 60dg (although currently it’s 50dg) I frequently get in in the 50’s and vacuum it out as I want to keep it clean as possible and I just love taking care...

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Please forgive my ignorance here but do you mind explaining to me how you need 100lbs of stabilizer ? I see your pool is roughly 5,000 gal bigger than mine and I used approximately 3.5 lbs to get me back up to 50ppm. Do you intend to use all 100lbs or is that next year’s stash too? And the...

    Hi from Texas

    My Thursday Pools brand FG pool recommendations for CH levels are between 200-400ppm. AND their FC recommendations are the standard boiler plate 1-3 ppm. I’ve learned just to trust TFP and all the experts on here’s recommendations!

    What to do for a freeze?

    I certainly will. I just closed it off because I don’t intend to use heater until weather warms up a bit. I certainly spaced it about freezing temps as it didn’t even occur to me to open diverter valve to let water flow thru it.

    What to do for a freeze?

    What would happen if one closed the diverter valve to keep water from going through the heater when not in use ? Would there be damage to the heater from freezing that one night?

    What did you do to your pool today?

    When you work second shift you have to adapt if you want pool time! My daily routine is to get home at approximately 7:30pm and change clothes. Brush all dirt/debris/worms off the tanning ledge, shelves and stairs. Then I go around sides and brush wall and wrap around ledge and brush all...

    How much chlorine to store

    A case holds four 1gal jugs. I got into the habit last year of measuring out 20 ounces of Chlorine and pouring it in pool every morning and again in the evening during peak season to maintain my 6-8ppm FC. The 2/day doses were for full sun days when pool was being used all day otherwise once...
