Is your pump and equipment downhill from the pool? My equipment is below pool level so if i turn off my pump water come back to the pool equipment dropping the spa level just due to gravity.

Yes it’s the polyquat. As directed I put in about 12 ounces of the product couple hours before AA treatment. That’s it never added any more.

I have been struggling with iron stains in my pool for a while. I don’t have well water just municipal. I assume I get iron from rain run off or maybe my coping has it? Not really sure yet. I was serious this time about the AA treatment to remove stains. Got my pro team algaecide (which was...

This season I started noticing a light brown to light tan staining on some areas of my plaster. My pool is only 1.5 years old and I keep up well with balancing and brushing. My only struggle has been PH which I am constantly bringing down from 8.0. I've brushed it and nothing happens. I'm...

The pool is 1 year old

My pool builder had to cut into the plaster to add some tile to our steps and sun shelf. Now after several months it seems the grout or cement mixture around the tile they used is yellowing. Any ideas how I can fix?

I’ve seen dull pale streaks on my plaster for a while now. (See pic) Any ideas what this could be? If it helps...When first constructed the pool plaster went without being filled for several days. (don’t ask). here are current water readings. I plan on increasing FC and TA today. FC-2.2 CC-0...

I'm not closing my pool this winter, do i need to continue feeding salt (3200-3500 ppm) if the temp levels are 56 and will be dropping even more? Should I turn off my SWG and just feed bleach when needed? I do plan on using my attached spa from time to time but i can isolate that when needed.

We do get freezing weather in arkansas However my pool lines and skimmer would be clear I’d keep my pump running continuously through spa

I have an attached spa that I'd like to keep open during the winter but close my pool. I will have the pool covered but just used a solar cover for spa for when we want to use it. What tips do you have to make this happen seamlessly? I'll have the water circulating only to the spa and back...

That makes sense, reading some previous posts I realized that PH is going to be high after a new construction pool which mine was finished in January so the dust could still be causing PH high readings

Water is balancing quite nicely i just can't seem to get my PH in the magical range of 7.4-7.6. We have had a lot of Rain. But I thought Rain tended to be more acidic (thus helping to lower by PH)? I added about quart and 1/2 to the pool. I'll post results later today to see if it adjusted...

Thanks for the advice Marty, always appreciated. From what I read SWG should be turned off (or set to 0%) before adding Liquid Chlorine. When should I turn my SWG back on, once everything is balanced and green is gone?

Just started getting the pool ready yesterday. We have been having a lot of blooms falling into the pool (pollen season), so I've been vacuuming and skimming organic material from pool. Yesterday pool was somewhat cloudy, today It has just the slightest green hue to it, but generally clear...
