    To close or not to close the Southern pool

    Help.. Hurricane Michael Cloudy pool

    OCLT passed last night!!! I am guessing that it was just dirt from the yard that ran into the pool due to the rain. The water is much clearer this morning as I have been running the filter and the polaris for 48 hours now on high RPM. FC is still up at 20 (over did the liquid bleach by a...

    Help.. Hurricane Michael Cloudy pool

    Do you think that this SLAM is required... There is no leaf or organic debris in the pool... it is just runoff from the yard due to the heavy rains... I do not suspect any algae... Is the SLAM still necessary? Thanks

    Help.. Hurricane Michael Cloudy pool

    Permits how would you handle it?

    Permits were pulled before construction. But it looks like they did not have the pool ground bond inspected...so they need an engineering letter that they are charging me for to prove the pool was grounded. (I saw the work done). They are also charging me as you can see in the original post...

    Permits how would you handle it?

    Did I get duped? PebbleTec vs. Diamond Brite, is there a difference?

    What I do not understand is the glaring difference between the samples of PebbleTec and Diamond Brite for "Tahoe Blue" on thier websites... Look at the original post and the two screenshots of the two products.... Then look at the pics I posted of the pool. The finished pool looks very much...

    Did I get duped? PebbleTec vs. Diamond Brite, is there a difference?

    Ignorance and lack of experience/knowledge when it comes to contracting, building and pools is my weak link here. I was quoted and paid for a Tahoe Blue PebbleTec pool finish. The finish went in May 1, and we have been swimming in and enjoying the pool. During this time I have spent...
