Can I add water to raise my water level at the start of a SLAM process? My water level is below the halfway mark of the skimmers. I want to get all the yellow algae I have by ensuring the tiles are at least halfway in the water. Is that necessary? FC PPM is already at 25 with CYA at 70. All...

So I am pretty good about balancing the water, but have been slacking a little on the weekly testing. I have had these white deposits around my tile showing up more and more. What is this? Is this due to CSI?

So I am going to add in a heat pump to my current setup. I did not consider gas as I have a much easier way to get electricity out to the pad than gas. Plus I am mostly offset from the grid with solar. Anyway, I don't have any idea of the current head pressure, and what I should do to avoid...

So I was looking at the Turbo Twister and concerned I'll be disappointed in the amount of flow (max 25 gpm) after seeing custom slides flow between 80 and 150 gpm. This got me wondering with a flat yard how hard it would be to buy slide parts from Interfab (BYOS2), Dolphin or someone like...

Hey All, I am new to the forum after lurking a couple of weeks. I am looking into putting an in ground pool in this year. I grew up with a large pool and have the sense that 800 sq ft is a good size (free form or rectangle...not sure yet). I am having trouble narrowing down on the pool...
