So getting ready to get a new Pentair SD80 filter installed. But up in the air on the media. Torn between glass and sand. I have the sand now in my existing filter that seems to be working fine but the filter is really old and had to use some epoxy to stop some leaks. Im also considering the...

So we have bought an house with an in ground plaster pool (newbie to the plaster life). From what I understand the people that lived there before didn't open this pool last year. We opened it and the water looked great. Had to fix a few pieces of tile that came off the water line. Some of the...

So I'm fully on board with the liquid and am baffled as to how much I use. Pool is crystal clear, no algae or any problems. About 3 weeks ago did a SLAM, due to being on the pucks previously and having a little green on the floor (Still baffled at this one) , but got everything ironed out. My...

So I am in my second year of having our pool. Love it so far and realized after trying different methods that the TFP method of maintaining it is by far the best. But my issue is now my wedding cake steps seem to cause indents in the cove area of the pool. They have suction cups underneath and...

So I'm confused on what to do at this point. Seems like i battled this last year and going thru it again this year. Getting greens streaks on the bottom of the pool. At least once a week. I had some people over for the holiday weekend to swim. Well on the 5th (last night) i decided to clean out...

So I have my FC level ironed out with the liquid bleach. Still having algae issues. It takes a few days for it to appear. I monitor the testing everyday. I have slammed the pool and passed the OCLT. But algae appears every few days. Usually it's a dark looking shadow color on the pool bottom and...

So I'm at a loss for what's going on. Pool was doing fine on the auto chlorine feeder. I am trying to switch over to liquid only. Haven't been having any luck. Just started the such over last week. Chlorine has been dropping everyday. I have checked the CYA and it has been rising over the last...

SO we just had a 27' above ground installed less than 2 weeks ago. I have been reading forums here on trouble free pool like crazy. Just trying to learn and understand. I even got the app for the pool calculator now. Our pool has a cartridge filter with a 2 HP pump with low and high speed. It...
