I am just starting my research on natural pools. I would love to see your photos! I will read about the chemistry debates in the other thread...

Hi everyone. I have a home in NV, where I currently live, and a home in NC which I hope to retire to one day. I would like to build an outdoor pool in NC. I am wondering if you had to do it all over, what are some things you would do differently? What items do you wish you had installed...

Long Story! After all of the advice I've gotten from this site (THANK YOU!) my main objective has been keeping track of my PH. Adding MA every few days. averaging about 8oz per day this summer in a 6,000 gal pool. Since this seems to do the trick, I was thinking about buying an automated...

First of all, I need to thank all of you for your help getting my pool in top shape last year! Everything has been going great with my chemistry. Again I owe it all to you. I am adding about 8oz of muriatic acid per day. Three days is the max I go without testing the water and usually I need...

Hi all, I have a SWG pool however, I drained the pool this winter to start with new water as I was unable to get the chemistry right last year. So, new water and salt cell removed. I want to ask what the recommended procedure for opening the pool is? should I SLAM before opening? I do not...

First of all I’d like to thank all of the people who helped me with my chlorine issues over the summer! As fall came, we stopped using the pool. As such, I did not stay on top of my chemicals. I continued to run my SWG and occasionally added acid. My chlorine levels have been higher than...

Hi, New plaster salwater pool opened in March. Had too much faith in my pool builder. He overloaded with salt at the opening. Never got my pool chemistry right until I found this website! Well, I think it’s time to close the pool for winter. I want to drain the pool so when I open it back...

First of all, thanks to everyone for your help so far! Before I found the forum, I was constantly pouring chlorine and muriatic acid into my pool and not getting anywhere. With your help, chlorine is no longer an issue. In fact, the last time I added chlorine was on 9/17. After SLAMming, I...

After six months of pool ownership, after six months of never getting the pool chemistry correct, I finally found this website. With all of the advice from these forums I have FINALLY SLAMmed the pool and appear to be on the right track. In the event that we take off for 5 days, what is the...

Hi, We built a new pool and opened it in Spring. It's plaster. It's 20x10x4, so I figure 6,000 gal. We have a saltwater gen and I have not been able to balance the chems just right. I can not maintain an adequate level of chlorine for more than 2 days. I feel like I am constantly pouring...
