After a week of heavy rains and high temperatures, my beautiful pool is now cloudy and greenish. Last night we noticed that it was cloudy, so we added 4 gallons of bleach. This afternoon the pool looked worse! Here are our numbers: TC - 0 TA - 100 PH 7.2 CYA <20 We have added additional...

We have just bought a TurboTurtle for our pool, and then spent the better part of an hour watching it (It doesn't take much to amuse us) The turtle keeps getting itself wrapped up in its hose. I've checked the Polaris site for troubleshooting, and the only suggestion is to lay the float hose...

I've been testing my chlorine daily and I've been following the Poolmath calculator and adding roughly 2 gallons of bleach a day. Even though I've been adding bleach daily, are pool is in direct sunlight most of the day, so I know it burns off. Our CYA is testing as 40. Here's my problem...

First, I apologize in advance for not having a photo, I will have one as soon as soon as I can manage. My pool is full of these big black ants with wings - my google searching has convinced me they are carpenter ants. I there are thousands of them in the pool every day, and the filter isn't...

I added 4lbs of conditioner yesterday after a CYA test of 0, and will be "creeping up" to the 8lb 9oz needed according to poolmath. I also added the required amount of 8.25% bleach to get the FC to 4.0. Here are my numbers from this afternoon CYA - not tested, will test again next week FC -...

We have a brand new AGP, which we've filled up with "city" water. My TF-100 kit came today and I stopped by the pool store to pick up some conditioner to raise my CYA to around 40. The lady at the pool store told me that I didn't need to add any conditioner now because it's not hot enough to...

Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My husband and I have 5 children (ages 20, 17, 6 year old twins, and 4) We were supposed to have our 33' Serena AGP installed 2 weeks ago, but since ordering the pool we've had a crazy amount of rain. We ordered "wedding cake stairs" for the pool...
