So, we got back from vacation late last night. Couldn't really tell what the water looked like, but didn't look hateful. We had someone staying at the house and was doing basic maintenance. Got up this morning and there was a lot of "dirt" in the pool. I heard we got quite a bit of rain...

Happy Pool Season Everyone! We are doing our first "true" opening this year (last year we had the pool refinished so we started with fresh water). Needless to say, the water was rather green, so we've been SLAMing per the recommendations found on TFP. Here are our readings for today: FC...

Hi all! We were a little late getting on the schedule for our pool opening, and it won't get opened for a few more weeks. In the meantime, is there anything we can be doing to start getting the water ready? Water is very green, and the mesh cover we have is actually touching the water. We...

Howdy folks! My husband and I bought our house in October 2016, and it came with an in-ground pool! It was in need of a bit of work, so this spring we had it refinished, and are super excited to start using it (see photos below). We are new to the pool owner thing, and have a gazillion...

Hello All! We're new to pool ownership and are looking into purchasing a Dolphin pool cleaner. The folks we purchased our house from had one and loved it, but took it with them. In doing research there are so many different models to choose from ... some come with a caddy, some do not. If...
