‘Tis the season! My pool has managed to turn a nice dark green in the last 10 days so we decided to go ahead and open and get to work on this mess. It was professionally closed and when we went over to the pump basket to retrieve parts, we found the site glass broken with glass on the ground. 😏...

I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day! Just as my family was heading out to the pool yesterday afternoon the pump turned off. I went to the system to see what was going on, because nothing like that has ever happened before. I see the message “pump stall”. Of course, straight to the forum I...

We kept our pool open to do an AA treatment and have had an extreme extended freezing with actual subzero temperatures here. Everything was running, and the equipment pad was insulated with insulation batting and tarps. We got 2° over freezing with cloudy weather for several hours this...

This year I decided to leave the pool “open” so I could do an AA treatment for some staining aquired over last winter. I’m in middle Tennessee and I’m really regretting that decision! We have been well below freezing for a couple of days and this morning we actually reached as low as -7...

Hello everyone!! For the first time in seven seasons, our pool turned into a green swamp before opening. I am a little intimidated about this process. I’ve read the articles and brushed up on everything. I just tested my water and the results are: FC 0 PH - not on the chart. A hot pink/magenta...

Hey all! It seems every summer I end up with some algea at some point. Like many others, here in middle Tennessee it’s been unbearably hot with a heat index well over 100 for days. I noticed yesterday when it was overcast on my tanning ledge you could see foot prints and after kicking around it...

Good afternoo! I noticed this season I had to bump up the percentage of run time to higher than normal levels to keep up with the needed chlorine production. It also occurred to me that it seemed like I was having to add too much salt for the minimal amount of water loss I had. This week it was...

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!! I am awaiting my replacement regent r-0013, so I have no idea what my CYA is. My other readings are: FC .6 PH 7.4 TA 50 Without knowing my CYA, what would you experts do regarding FC & TA? My regent will not be in until Thursday. Thanks for any advice.

Frigid for a few days in Tennessee, ice forming on top of pool. I've had freeze protection on and the pump has been running nonstop for days. This morning we took a look at the equipment on the side of the house and found this. I believe this plumbing only flows to our different water features...

I have learned so much from this site since moving into an existing home with a pool. From the information here and the suggested taylor K 2006 test kit, I've been taking care of my own pool successfully for a year and a half. Everything has remained balance and free chlorine high enough in...

Good afternoon! Does anyone else have a Hayward Goldline aqua pod that can explain to me how to change the setting where I see the actual RPM instead of the percentage for the VSP? I have searched through the thread and googled as well as reading the manual and I am unable to find the answer...

Hello all! My husband and I bought a home last September and are preparing to hopefully enjoy swimming in the pool that was existing in the home when we bought it. However, we have a few issues that are concerning us. We paid for a seminar from the installer when we bought the home, but it...
