Title says it all.. We're located in the Virginia's Northern Neck, and our 18 year old pool is going to need re-plastering for the next swim season. I'm hoping someone on this site is happy with with work that was performed for them, and will pass on a recommendations on a company or...

I've just started what would be my 3rd season on a Hayward Aquarite system with a T-9 cell. Everything was newly installed just over 2 years ago. What's the failure modes for these things? I was expecting at least "some" warning on the cell front, if that's what this is. Everything was fine...

This is a probably a silly question but I did a search and didn't see a definitive answer. I've bought a Taylor refill kit from TFT each year, so I'm good, but I'm curious that some of the bottles in TFT kit have expiration dates, and some do not? When I first got my Taylor kit every reagent...

Because of some work travel and other family constraints we're not planning on opening our pool for a few more weeks (in early March). Just noticed that the water has started to turn green, however. Is there anything to do between now and opening to try and control or minimize the algae? Or do I...

With travel, vacation etc. I'm lucky to be able to check/adjust my pool chemistry on the weekends. I managed pretty well last year, but was always high on the Ph, 8.0 or slightly higher, at the beginning of every weekend. This year, I'm thinking about installing a stenner pump, tank and injector...

Our pool has a single speed main pump that runs all the time, it also has a timer that controls a booster pump for our Polaris. We converted it to a salt pool last year, adding the SWG. I'd like to reduce our electric bill if it's at all possible. I've seen postings on here that there's no...

Over the season, my CYA has dropped from the 80 (which I had to drain to achieve) to somewhere between 50-60. Given that we're getting towards the end of the season I'm wondering if it's o.k. to keep it a little lower till closing? My SWG is still chugging away happily and my FC level is staying...

Noobie here... Since having to do a 2/3 partial refill for having high CYA, I feel like things are going pretty well. I have this site to thank for that. I'm wondering what things, if any, I should be tinkering with at this point? Or should I just leave well enough alone? Here's my most current...

As mentioned in an earlier posting, the pool that came with the just we just got had very high CYA. After a couple of partial drains, this is where we're at today: FC = 5.2 CC = 0 Ph = 7.4 TA = 200 CH = 120 CYA = 80 Salt = 2900 temp = 76 I know the salt is a little low, but I wanted to ask...

Just opened the pool for the 1st time (for us), and was pretty pleased that the water was clear when the cover came off. Here are my readings, Temp 61 Salt = 3000 Fc = 5.2 Cc = 0.2 Ph = 7.8 TA = 110 Ch = 170 Cya over 100 (Only Up to cya letters on the vial) Looks like...

We recently inherited a house with a small pool, and are getting ready to open it for the 1st time (for us). I already started reading the pool school section, which is a HUGE help, but it seems to be lacking information for my specific situation. I think my biggest concern as we start out...
