Apologies in advance for my completely clueless questions. We are in the second year of our pool and I didn't have the foresight to label all the plumbing for our pool. I'm acutely aware of it now as I am trying to figure out my integrated spa. We didn't use it much last year so I wasn't paying...

Happy winter! I have had my pool for about a year now. It seems that I need to add MA about once a week to keep my pH at a respectable level. Is this normal? I hear that this happens with new pools. Will this change over the years? I did my readings today and I have to adjust my chlorine...

So I have pretty much decided on getting a Maytronics robot but I have several questions before purchasing. I'm debating between the S300i v the M5. I think I will be happy with either. My question is do I buy from a brick and mortar store (gulp, pricetag) or do I buy the equivalent online...

Good day. I have been a pool owner for just 1 season and already I hate my side suction cleaner and want to get a robot. Pretty set on a dolphin but not sure if I should go with the M or S series. I don't have a large pool but there are bends and steps and I'm not sure which would perform...

Hello all. So everything is going so well with the pool and we are loving this summer heat! I was wondering if I should add borates to my pool? Not for any particular reason but because I can and therefore should I? FC: 5 (I have to watch this especially given our intense sun and my laziness...

Good day! We are new pool owners and have been loving every minute of it! We will gone on vacation for 2 weeks in the summer and would love advice on what to do to keep out of trouble with the pool. Currently my levels are pretty spot on for our SWG pool (don't have my most recent readings as...

Good day pool owners! So far we have been loving our new pool. It's just the loveliest thing ever. My balance was pretty good but then started to falter a bit. Numbers to follow but to cut to the chase, I have to increase my CYA and lower my pH. Do I attempt both at the same time? Do one and...

New pool owner with swg. Testing with taylor k 2006. Fc 5.5 Cc 0.5 Ph 7.8 Ta 60 Ch 380 Cya 50 Salt 3800 I feel like my Cya is too low and fc is too high. Do i add nore acid? Also does running my swg for longer increase my fc? I've also been leaving my pool cover on during the week as we are...

Ok, so I got my Taylor k-2006 kit and just tested my water. of note, the PB has put salt in it but doesn't seem to have turned the SWG on (so that's another question). FC= 2.5 CC =0 pH= 7.0 (!) TA= 50 CYA = 42 looks like my CYA and FC are too low as is my pH. what to do? :confused::eek:

Good morning from sunny California! We just got our new pool and I am slowly learning about all the bits and bobs on it. We have a Jandy proseries variable speed pump (not sure if it is 1.0 or 2.0) but it has like 8 speeds. I have learned enough to know that when I run my pump I run it on the...

We just finished putting in our pool and we are so excited about getting in it (when it's warm!). We live in a very warm part of California and in attempts to reduce my gas bill, I would like to get a solar cover. There are 2 confounding factors: my pool is very irregularly shaped and we can get...

So excited to get into our new pool this summer. And to learn from you all!! We are in northern California, just inland of Oakland.
