I live in AZ and the temps here have been pretty hot (115 ish). I was out of town and when i returned my pool had a bit of algae starting to grow on the floor/walls late last week. Water didnt look too bad though. I have 4 pucks floating (i'm aware of the CYA implications). After a thorough...

I'm currently refilling my pool, and will need to setup the water over the next couple days. I've been using the TF100 test kit for some time, however I have a question about this site's "PoolMath Calculator". My pool is 13k gallons, and I'll be adding some stabilizer to get the levels up to...

I'm about a month in since remodeling my pool (new sand filter/water/etc). I'd like to improve the particles floating in the water, so i've added a skimmer sock today, and bought some DE from the Pool Store to add to my Sand Filter. I backwashed the filter today and took a baseline reading...

Hello everyone! I just stumbled across this forum, and have been reading/learning a TON! I've had an in-ground 13k gallon chlorine pool for the past 8 years, however just recently (2 months ago) had the plaster all chipped out (and replaced with pebble tech), pop ups cemented/covered (they did...
