So my pool is still open - I went to close it a week or two ago and discovered my cover had deteriorated quite a bit. It was on it's last leg, but I planned to get one more winter out of it. We replaced the liner, installed a SWG, and had the plumbing redone this year. But, given it's...

Recently had a SWG installed by the local pool company - TruClear Jandy Pro. I don't see any way to tell the salinity level, and I don't see any warning to tell me salt is low. Am I missing something, or do I need to invest in some salt testing supplies? I take my water to the pool store to...

Just had some work done on the pool. New liner, new above ground plumbing, and SWG install. They didn't run power from the power pack to the circuit - they said I had to have an electrician come to do it. I plan on doing it myself... I have both a 110 circuit (pump) and a 220 circuit...

Just opened the pool, and it's very green. There is algae that is growing up from the bottom, some a couple feet long. Yuck. I should also mention, last year was my first time closing the pool. Opening went okay, got everything hooked up, the returns bubbled out air and anti-freeze came out...

Opened my pool for the first time with the help of TFPC - so far so good. I have a bit of a mystery I hope people could help me solve/investigate. There is a return (maybe) that I can't open by hand, and I'm wondering if perhaps it's permanently closed. There doesn't seem to be a return pipe...

I have a temperature gun thing to measure the surface temperature, but I assume that when people say 60 degrees to open the pool it doesn't mean what the laser is measuring on the surface. This is my first year owning/opening a pool and I want to avoid a rough opening, so I plan on doing it...

I purchased this heat pump for the pool (about 17k gallons) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WKJ5DO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Electrical work is the one thing I don't really DIY - and the required power for a heat pump isn't really where I want to start :) However, I...
