Turns out my pump is fried, so we are getting a Hayward Maxflo VS pump from a neighbor (long story on why he has a spare pump). Any recommendations on setting the speeds and times? It’s pretty warm right now. High 90’s with heat indexes over 100. We have cottonwood trees around us and we get...

Yesterday our heat index got to 110+. Last night my husband went out to get a sample to test water and the pump was off. The switch was still on, but the pump was really hot. We turned it off and went back out in the morning to try it. It made a buzzing/humming sound, but wouldn’t come on...

We opened our pool today. Now the air relief valve is leaking out the relief side. I haven’t been able to find a replacement online that looks like this one. Any suggestions? It’s a dark picture, so I circled the relief where it is leaking.

My pool has been cloudy, but my numbers have been fine. Hubby cleaned it really well this weekend, but still an issue. I did an overnight test and it lost less than 1FC. Today the pool looks awful. Cloudy and has a weird sheen on it. Dirt along the side or something. Hard to tell from the...

We were gone a week for vacation and used chlorine tablets. Now my readings are 5 FC, 40 TA, and 7.0 pH. I haven't been home in daylight to check the CYA yet. Before we left TA was 80 and pH was 7.3. Based on pool math, we need to add 2lbs 15 oz of Borax for pH and 7lbs 1 oz of baking soda...

My water is cloudy for the first time. Here are my current test results. FC 5 CC .5 TA 80 CYA <30 pH 7.6 I did the overnight chlorine test and only lost 1FC. I will be adding stabilizer next to get my CYA up to at least a 30. Could that be what's making my water cloudy? Anything else I...

So, I've been noticing that my FC has been fairly low at the end of the day when we test. I tested CC and has been less than 1, and water looks good. A few days ago I got a FC of 1.5. Called for 14 cups 10%. I tested an hour later and it was at 11FC. I double checked everything and came up...

Haven't been able to get my pH down or get my chlorine stable. Here are my last few test results (k2006) and what I did. 8-9-16 FC - 4.5 pH - 7.8 TA - 150 CYA - 40 added 44oz MA 8-13-16 FC - 3 pH - 7.8 added 37 oz MA 41 oz liquid chlorine 8-15-16 added 96 oz liquid chlorine based on zero...

Hello everyone! My family and I are happy new owners of a pool! PB just finished last week and I've been looking around here trying to figure out how to manage it. Looking forward to many conversations on here - hopefully not all me asking for advice! Betsy

Just finished new pool late last month and I've noticed a few wrinkles in the bottom. Is this normal or should I contact PB? Betsy

We just put in a new pool. I've tested the water at a local supply store and ended up with $$chemicals to use. A friend told me about this site and so far it's been very helpful! I purchased a recommended test kit and used it for the first time tonight. Here are the results. 1.6ppm FC 8 ppm...
