I posted about mustard algae a few weeks ago... thought I got rid of it , But whatever it is it's back ! Because it's the end of pool season here in Montreal, I kind of like the pool go for the past week and a half ( we were also away on vacation for a week ). Right now it's a greenish...

Hi, I think i have mustard Algae...patches of yellow on bottom of pool, when brushed it's like powder... all my levels are within range, my SLAM level is 14 and did it the other night, by morning FC was 7. Brought it back to slam level in the am so it can kill all remaining residue, brushed...

I've had a yellowish residue on the bottom of my pool, it's in patches all over...I tried to vacuum it and it's back the next day. Is it the start of an algae outbreak? I've never had one so need to ask! If so, should I slam tonight ? Also after vaumming I made sure to backwash and rinse in...

I posted this issue before but it's still not resolved. When I vacuum to filter I get almost no suction. When I vacuum on WASTE I get crazy suction. Agreed that this indicates an issue with my filter or pump ...we cleaned out our sand filter as suggested with a hose for hours. My pump basket...

My pool has been crystal clear and balanced for a steady 6 weeks, but this am I woke up to a cloudy pool. Last night I had tested total FC was 4 and zero CC...this am there is almost zero chlorine in there and PH was low (7.1). It was a coolish night, no warm weather lately, but lots of rain...

So owning a pool is new to us, and I know the previous owners mentioned that there was a small patch job done in the liner of our pool (no idea when but yes pool is 2002 build). Had a bunch of family over to swim today, and of course my 8 year old nephew comes to see me with his goggles and...

I couldn't get a proper reading for my CH with my home test kit, so I'll be heDing to the pool store unfortunately. I remember it showing up as an issue during pool opening, but the store specifically told me not to adjust (since it wasn't too off) because I just purchased a heat pump and it...

Since I got my Taylor kit I haven't been back to my local pool store, my pool looks FAB and I have saved so much $$$! THANK YOU ALL! Have a question about adding chlorine & PH reading: last night I had a lowish reading and just wanted to raise back to 5 since we have some hot weather (finally)...

Hi all! I'm noticing that when I vacuum on filter there is almost no pressure at all. The only way I can get suction is by putting my filter on Waste and vacuuming as quickly as I can. Is there anything I should be checking to maximize suction? I do wish I could vacuum on filter more...

Hey everyone! I used Pool Math (and had help by others) to know how much Cya to add to my pool. Started process yesterday (sock in front of skimmer) and then finished this am with the rest...I noticed that on the bottle I got from a local hardware store it says to sprinkle on pool surface. So...

I've already posted about my pool opening, got my water crystal clear but can't hold chlorine. The local pool store put me through hoops, but I think I believe them when they say that after everything, they think the cause is COPPER in the pool. The old owners used a propane heater ...we now...

Hi everyone I am new to this site and have been reading through posts all morning. I am amazed at how helpful everyone is!!! This is my second year owning a pool, and the opening process was a bit faster this time but I am still not completely there! My pool looks good, clear but has an ocean...
