I'm going to be closing my pool in the next week or so. I'm in Southern Ontario and thinking of converting to a SWG. It seems from the threads I've read that it becomes more cost effective over time. I do have a couple of questions though: 1. I like to keep my pool between 88 and 92 degrees...

Just curious if high chlorine levels are all that is needed to fix White Water Mold? I just replaced the liner in my pool 2 weeks ago and I filled the pool with water, shocked it and completed forgot to check everything else. Two weeks later there is what looks like white tissue paper all over...

In the fall when I closed the pool, I asked my son to carry the pump into the house. This spring, I went downstairs to get the pump and it wasn't there. I walked outside and sure enough the pump was sitting on the ground outside where it had sat all winter (one of the worst snow and rain...
