We just installed a deck around half of our above ground pool. The deck tucks under the top railing. Is there a way to alter our current steps / ladder to now work on the deck without buying a new setup or parts? The steps go inside the pool with a platform going over the top railing and...

Has anyone ever used Menard's Splash pool shock liquid chlorinator? I can't read the other ingredients from the picture online. I BELIEVE it says 12.5% sodium hypochlorite and the rest possibly other (undisclosed) ingredients? They currently have it on sale 1 gallon BOGO free for $3.99. I...

How long did your Dolphin S50 last? We've had ours for 2 years and it leaked and got water in the motor and circuit board after year one. My husband was able to dry it out and fix it, but again this year it leaked and were not sure it's repairable again. It's quite expensive to replace every...

We had a bad wind storm and cover of spa blew open, it was open most of the day and already low / due to be dosed with chlorine that night. Came home to a complete mess. The spa stinks, the water is cloudy ,and I can't keep the chlorine levels up. I've been slamming 2-3 times a day, once an...

Hello, I know you all are probably getting sick of me, so THANK YOU to everyone who is taking the time to answer my endless questions! I purchased ahh-some before my spa even arrived haha. I've already disclosed in a previous post, I got too excited to get in my new spa and I didn't purge. :(...

First, I want to start by saying THIS IS NOT MY SPA, so please don't yell at me. I tested my mom's spa, who, in all honesty, does not take good proper care of it. She insists it's fine, because she's never had a problem before. :mad: Her pH was unreadable low, as was the alkalinity. After a...

So I bought a new spa. I did reading on here, and I KNEW I should purge it with ahhh-some! But, I got too excited, listened to the delivery guy, and went against my own better judgement and filled it and heated it up. I saw the the spa was dated 10/10/18, so I thought how dirty could it be in...

Hello, We have just purchased a new spa and I don't have a lot of experience with spas. I do however have an AGP and have had no issues using bleach and MA. I like the simplicity and control of testing and knowing exactly what chemicals are in my pool and being able to adjust that based on...

Hello All, I have converted to the recommended chemicals and have several previously purchased pool store chemicals left over. MANY of these do not list ingredients. I am looking for advice if they can / should be used or if I should just dispose of them? Pool Style Bright Shock (Lithium...

This is a long shot, but I have to try. After barely over 20 uses (1.5 seasons), our Dolphin S50 (for above ground pool) robot quit working. My husband took it apart only to find that it had been leaking water into the motor housing / chamber. Surprisingly we tested both the drive motor and...

Hello! I want to start by saying we received a whole bunch of "junk" with our pool when we purchased it, with absolutely NO instructions or training. One of these items was an automatic poolboy pool cleaner. We tried it and it irritated me by how slow it "thump thump thump thumped"...

Hello Friends, I have done some reading on TFP in the past, but this year I really dug into it and decided to take the FULL plunge. My Goals (not necessarily in order) 1. Add salt for feel / skin 2. Add borates (for many reasons) 3. Lower my TA? 4. Increase and maintain my pH 5. Switch to...

I have a basic Taylor test kit which tests TA, chlorine, and pH. I'm coming up with the following readings... Chlorine: 1 (after double shocking yesterday - not surprised with other readings though) TA: 220 pH: 8.4 maybe more? I added 1.5 cups of granulated pH decreaser - sodium bisulfate...
