    Flesh eating bacteria???

    So I am a freak when it comes to balancing my pool chemistry. For some reason I love checking the levels of everything and trying to get it perfectly balanced. The result is a crystal clear pool all season long! Now I keep hearing about this flesh eating virus in warm waters and even pools...

    Solution for swimming dogs and vinyl liners.

    I suppose this is probably somewhere on this site but I searched and didn’t find anything. Maybe the wrong key word?? I have a 10 month old German Shepherd pup that loves to swim. My concern is the vinyl liner and her nails. I tried different dog socks, and Paws (rubber sock like thing)...

    Ahhh...rusty screws again

    Last fall my pool was installed. Soon after the screws around the light began to rust which I thought was solely due to the installer putting way too much salt in. About two months ago they came out and replaced the screws. The pool is balanced and the salt levels are fine yet the screws are...

    Taylor K2006c vs TF-100

    I see these seem to be the two kits recommended. Which one is a better bang for the buck? Which one has more reageants? Some reagents I notice I am going through quicker than others, does one provide more of the ones used more often?

    Chloride Pool Salt

    Has anyone used this? It is cheaper than any other 40 lb bags but I couldn't see purity of salt on the bag anywhere. Ahh that should be Chlorox pool salt

    Muriatic Acid

    Okay so my PH level is high. Never had that happen with my old pool. I went to get muriatic acid at Lowe's. When I grabbed a bottle it started spilling out the top onto their concrete floor and immediately started bubbling up and splashed my hands. Needless to say it burned and they had no...

    Ugh....chlorine

    Okay I had a saltwater above ground pool. I loved it!!! I was told saltwater would ruin my concrete around the pool and that it is hard on all the pool parts like the filter and such. What I liked about the saltwater system is that the water was silky smooth and it did not have that strong...
