Good morning! My pentair booster pump has been making a loud noise for quite some time now. I asked a tech at my local pool store about it and he said it might be the bearings and that it's ok to keep running it, but that it will eventually need replacing. My question: Is this a fairly simple...

I noticed that the jets in our hot tub don't seem to have as strong of a flow as they used to have and the spillway has slowed down. Could this be because I need to clean my filter? How often should those get cleaned? Pool was just installed in March and we have a Pentair Clean and Clear Plus...

Good Morning, Last night I noticed lots of debris/bugs floating in my pool. Skimmed as best as I could and my first reaction was to freak out because I had no clue what it was. This morning my husband mentioned that it's probably ash from the wildfires a few hours away from us. Anybody else...

My CYA is sitting at about 75 right now. If we plan on heading out of town for about a week, is it better to use the pucks or pour enough chlorine in the pool to account for daily loss throughout that week? I don't want to add pucks if it will make my CYA go up too much. Temps here will...

Hello, We have a hot tub with spillway so water flows out to the pool. Spillway is on for an hour each day to cycle the water through. Do I need to be testing my hot tub or is it ok since the water from the pool cycles through anyway? Thanks!

Is there a preferred method to chlorinate pools? Is clorox better than say Kemtek chlorinating liquid? Kemtek says it is 10% sodium hylochlorite and 90% other ingredients. Thanks!

Hello All, New to the forum and pretty new to pool ownership. We had pool service included for a few months and now that it's ended we decided to DIY. We went to a local pool store last week and they told us that our chlorine level was at zero and our PH was high. This was after a week of...
