    Chlorine Pucks

    I use mainly liquid, but I maintain CYA with the pucks. Something I noticed this year is it seems the level of FC is lower with my floater than years past. I now have a 2 speed pump and run it 24/7 on low. Does the speed of the water moving in the pool on low cause them to dissolve slower or is...

    Leak

    Can this be used on the fitting to the filter? I reached out to hayword but they have not responded. I currently have teflon tape on them but with a small leak.

    Return pressure

    Filter Suggestion

    I have a SLR 1.5 hp Jacuzzi pump with a cooper 200Lb sand filter. Its about 10 years old and the selector valve has started to leak. Should I replace just the filter for now or is it usually cheaper to buy it as a combo. And what do you guys suggest?

    How do you add bleach?

    Measuring cup, bucket, etc. Trying to find the best way not to splash it. Is it as harmful as it says to the skin? I have never messed with bleach before, therefore I am not sure how scared of this stuff I should be. Pouring it over the rail near the water outlet to the pool is not the easiest...

    14 Year Pool Owner

    I have had my pool 13 years, the first liner lasted 11 years and we installed a new one 2 years ago. The first 11 years I used pucks from Walmart and I guess they just had smaller amounts of stabilizer in. My cya stayed a little high but never over 80. (Maybe all day direct sunlight helped...
