Not sure if I am posting this is the right spot. I tried used absorbic acid for a stain in my deep end. I left the sock on it for about an hour and now the plater is discolored a dark gray color. Did I take the plaster off the bottom of the pool? :( Any advice on what to do?

Good morning everyone! I am at a loss and hoping that someone here might be able to help. I have been using bleach for the pool for about 3 years, until last year when the pandemic made bleach hard to come by. I switched to liquid chlorine "Pool Essentials" that I got from walmart and it...

So I went away on vacation and while I was gone we had a power outage. I went out this morning to get the pool back online and now the chlorinator is shooting water like a fountain. I had replaced the o ring before I left on vacation and it was fine. O ring looks to be in good shape. What...

Is this ok to use in the pool? My mom bought it online and was so excited because bleach has been hard to come by around here since COVID started. I just don't know if I can use this in the pool. Any input is much appreciated!

I am hoping that what I am describing here is going to make sense. I have a timer on my pump. While the pump is running the water level in the filter basket area is fine. It is totally full and there are no issues. The problem comes when the pump turns back on. There is definitely not as...

So I am so confused. A few years ago I had an issue with the CYA in my pool being way too high and the only solution was to drain most of the pool and start again. At the time I was using chlorine tablets in a chlorinator. Being on this site I learned that those tablets have CYA in them and...

Last year I started the TFP plan and it worked swimmingly! We had it down to just pour one jug of bleach in each evening and we were perfect. This year, we are losing chlorine at a much faster rate. Our CYA is at 40. This morning we were at 6.5 and this afternoon we are at 4.5, so that means...

So last year I fought the battle of too much CYA and ended up taking most of the water out and starting again. We used the TFP system all summer with much success! I didn't let the pool company that closed the pool put any chemicals (I just put the recommended amount of bleach in and and we...

So I came home today to find that the pool was not on. When I went out to check it I saw that the breaker had been tripped. Switched the breaker back on and turned pump back on. Made a loud humming noise and then tripped the breaker again. Had my pool service out for a repair call and they...

We had off the chart CYA when we opened the pool in May. Through the help of this group and A LOT of draining and refilling we got the CYA to 70 and started SLAMMING the pool. Since then we have enjoyed a very easy summer of pool maintenance. I did not check my CYA all summer since chlorine...

I had a heck of a time this year opening the pool due to off the chart CYA. We ended up having to drain the pool almost 3/4 of the way and refill and it took weeks to get the pool up and running and that was with a CYA of 70. We had a great and easy season using the TFP method. Now it's time...

This started last season and I fought like crazy to keep chlorine levels up. By the end of the season it seemed like we were ok. Pool just opened a week ago. I have been running th pump 24 hours a day, inline chlorinator is at 3 and full and I have been shocking it with the granular shock...
