So I have a hydrotools above ground pump and my pool is semi - inground and for some reason I get a ton of air bubbles when I just have the pump running, but when I open the roof valve so the water can travel up to the roof solar panels then there is absolutely no air in the return in the pool...

So I literally have the same pool and was looking at this heater. This reviewer said 1 degree an hour for a 35,000 btu heater in so-cal (and I have a blanket). 1-2 degrees an hour? Is that possible with only a 35k btu and 7-8,000 gallons? https://a.co/d/iEgkxUA

Used the Home Depot liquid chlorine yesterday to shock my pool… Got the free chlorine up to around 20 which is what the calculator says to raise it to… Today it’s down to 12. Total alkalinity and pH levels are perfect… Today free chlorine is down to 12 with no combined chlorine, algae is all...

Basically I’ll just ask it like this….if I added a couple bags of shock and brushed the bottom of the pool, then tested my cya numbers (because I forgot to do it first) and the test showed my cya at like 150, could that be because I shocked / brushed the pool? I did used to use the stabilized...

I’m getting good suction but don’t know if it would be any better without some of these bends…?

So my pool plumbing runs up my house to the roof for solar heating. I need to mount it to the side of my house which is stucco. I want to avoid any vibration because my bedroom is on the other side of the wall. Any suggestions?

Just installed a brand new liner. Looks perfect. Filled the pool up and already dropped like 4 inches in one day. Dropped past the skimmer so I know that’s not it. I’ll know in the morning but it hasn’t dropped past the bottom of the return. The gaskets looked good when I reinstalled it and I...

Not sure what it is, it worked last year. When I plug the unit on, with no sensors plugged in, the red check sensor light is on solid. But when I plug in the pool sensor light it starts blinking. Tried switching it with the solar sensor because it looks like the same kind of sensor, and same...

So I usually use liquid chlorine but it takes up so much space. I saw this stuff and it doesn’t include cya, can I use it instead for everyday chlorination if it takes up so little space?

Strange title I know, but essentially that’s my problem. My pool gets all day sun, so if it has zero free chlorine in the evening, and I add a bunch of chlorine to be high enough to last through the next day, how am I supposed to swim that day if the chlorine is so high? So….unless I only add a...

Hey everyone, so I have a floating thermometer showing 82 degrees but my solar system isn’t turning on and I’ve got it set to heat around 95 degrees (which I know is a lot, but that’s a diff story). If I adjust the solar setting it will turn on so I know it’s not broken or something but are...

I have the leslies chlorbrite spa shock and it doesn’t mention using in a pool anywhere. Why is that?

I changed some wiring around yesterday to make my solar controller more automatic and for some reason now it pops the fuse whenever it turn heating on. Is my wiring wrong?

So I have had my solar roof heater with the automatic valve installed for about 6 months now. It has the sensor on the roof and if the sun is out the valve opens for hot water and I even wired it so it turns the pump on. Problem with that, that I noticed, is that it could be 60 degrees outside...

So there are small sink spots at the bottom of my pool on the sides where each support beam is on the outer edge. It looks as if someone took a baseball and pushed down on the liner about half the depth of the ball. Anyone else seen this? (Photo attached)

My kreepy krauly cleaner keeps getting stuck on the ladder steps. I thought maybe making a loop and zip tying the hose back on the cleaner so it creates more of a curve that might roll off the steps but that didn’t work. Anyone have a solution? I would almost pay anything for a fix at this...

Just drained my pool because they CYA was at 100, and noticed this....chlorine was only at like 2ppm, and calcium hardness was at 140.

So if my chlorine has stabilizer built into it and I am constantly adding chlorine to my pool, isn't the CYA level rising constantly or is CYA burning off as the chlorine burns off in the sun? I guess I don't understand if the chlorine burns away but the CYA remains in the water or if they burn...

All of a sudden my system has been showing low water flow, slow pool vacuum, high filter psi. Not sure why. Any ideas? There is no air coming out of the return outlet so I am guessing it can't be an air leak...attached is a video. I do have a solar heater on the roof but the valve going up to...

Took about a month but finally done. Dropped her almost all the way down and used slurry mix for backfill. Should have only put about a foot of slurry, let it dry, then put more on top as the walls did ripple slightly in some spots under the weight, but no real damage. Now let’s see how long I...

My robotic aquabot pool rover turbo was doing a pretty good job of cleaning the pool yesterday. It had a bunch of fine dirt from top soil we backfilled the pool with at the bottom. The robot got most of it as we went to bed. Woke up this morning and the top soil is all back all over the bottom...

So in my city I need to have a 5' high fence around my pool. I have seen these mesh fences but that would mean that all around my pool (which is grass) I will have to dig holes and pour concrete for the mounts. Has anyone seen a 5' fence that you can attach to the pool instead? Everything I see...

So I have an intex saltwater spa. Had 1.5 fc and 1ppm of combined chlorine. I used the Taylor 2006 kit which measures both. Also have roughly cya of 20. So I added a lot of chlorine free oxidizer. Prob 30 ounces instead of the 2-4 the bottle said because I wanted to break the combined chlorine...

Hello! We have the intex saltwater jet spa and everything is pretty much right on the money, except for the free chlorine (total alkalinity might be a hair out of range). I run the saltwater system every night to the point where the free chlorine is almost too high. By morning it is almost...
