Hi All! Thanks to these forums I like to think I've become somewhat of a pool expert... at least with my own pool. When I first bought this house, there was a Rogue pool slide with poles cemented into the foundation. Several years ago, one of the areas for the slide jets broke and completely...

Hi All! First I want to say that these forums have been invaluable to me as a new pool owner 5 years ago. I remember my first pool opening took me almost 2-3 weeks because I just couldn't get anything working. Now I'm on day 2 and the pool is nearing a ready state. Anyways my main set of...

I'm new to owning a pool and have been doing quite a bit of reading on TFP. I'm currently in a battle with a swamp as many of the posts here have also said. I have been trying to bring up the FC level by using the Leslies power powder shock. The lady at leslies told me that liquid chlorine...
