    Slam for mustard algae

    Thanks Texas Spash. I only need about 13oz of MA. Should I mix it with water in a bucket or can I just pour 13oz of MA into pool?

    Slam for mustard algae

    I am about to slam pool for mustard algae. I have a PH of 7.8 and a TA of 100. Do I need to get the PH down between 7.2 and 7.5 before I SLAM? Just trying to get the SLAM done before I close for the season. Thanks

    Whats this?

    Pool( 16x48, 5100gallon) has been not used and covered with solar cover for about a week. I use a sand filter(intex 2800gph).

    Intex sand filter

    This is the first year I am opening my existing pool. Just about done with the refill. What step do I do first after opening the shut off valves to pump? Backwash for 3 minutes, then rinse and filter just like when I set up last year? Thanks for your help Jeff

    Pink spots on outside of pool

    Has anybody ever seen pink spots on the outside of their AGP? I just noticed today that I have about 6 pink spots on outside white band of my intext pool. They are not slimy and bleach or clorox wipe wouldn't remove them. Pool is still closed and I am very confident I closed correctly even if it...

    Leveling and Location of Pavers for Pool Legs?

    Yes, the 4ft level from paver to paver will be enough. Sounds like you have done a good job leveling entire area. The legs do tend to move around an awful lot so having a bigger paver will definitely help. I had 9x7x2.5 pavers and getting them all right in the middle was a bit of a challenge...

    Intex Prism pool setup

    Firm hard packed ground is a must have. I cant say that you need pavers with 100% certainty, but I have seen many pools not use them that wish they had. I have also seen many that did not use pavers and were successful. If there is any chance that your ground will hold rain water and have any...
