Hi all, new Bullfrog X6L owner here and am looking for input regarding cleaning the filters in our hot tub. It has two wellspring "pleated paper" filters. I plan on purchasing 2 new wellspring filters to have on hand for rotation, but would like to know your methods and schedules for cleaning...

Considering that the wide mouth skimmer on my pool is approx 6 inches tall, is there suggested standard water level other than enough to supply the pump, and not too high to allow for skimming action? I usually keep my water level at the second screw on the skimmer, which allowed approx 3...

Grrrrrrrrr, It appears I need to replace the laterals in my Hayward sand filter. The pool was installed August 2016 and then closed Nov 2016. I read the manual, read the forums, and looked to see what my neighbors did with their sand filters. Everything pointed to leaving it outside over the...

The sun is shining and my pool is open in northwest Indiana! We closed late and have opened early. Water looks pretty much perfect. My sweet spot for the water level is the second screw head up from the bottom on the skimmer mouth. The skimmer will take in water 2" below and almost 2" above...

Well I have come to the collective oracle for some feedback. My pool was installed and filled yesterday. (Filled with municipal water via 3,000 gallon water trucks) Last night at dusk, I added about a half gallon of 12.5% liquid chlorine and a pound of CYA in a sock in front of the return...

When I enter 8% chlorine into the FC table the calculator it reads "Weight", however when I enter 12.5% the word changes to "Trade". Just wondering what the difference is and why that difference is noted? Rolo

I've been pouring over the forum and pool school since we decided to put our pool in. I've got a pretty good handle on the BBB method, but have a quick question regarding CYA. Where are you buying it from? I see Wally has Chlorox Pool and and Spa stabilizer. 4 lbs for approx $13. Is that what...

I started a thread and lost it when I opened another window. Oh well. Second try. My pool purchase schedule seems to have a dramatically accelerated itself as I've been pricing some packages online and in person to get an idea for a budget. Welllllllll......I think I'm verge of making a...

Greetings friends, I found this forum as my wife and I have possibly, considered, to maybe think about, weighing the pro's and con's of getting a pool. LoL. In all seriousness, we are 90% committed to getting an 27-30' AG, but not for a little while. Like maybe getting it installed summer of...
