Good afternoon folks... So my water table is very high. I need a sump pit at the end of my pool that fills up regularly. I have used the pumps that have the attached floating piece. Well my sump pit shaft is pretty narrow and that thing routinely gets caught up in the wiring, etc and doesnt...

So My pool cleaner has developed a very gummy film on the outside of the cord. Its a maytronics... Its been gradually getting worse... I presume its the chlorine breaking down the rubber, but is there any way to clean this off? its incredibly frustrating. Thank you much :)

edit - removed previous issue.. it was resolved.. when the electrician came to test what might be wrong (free i might add) he swapped the stero and pump plugs which are identical connections. Im dumb, but finally got it.. back to the SWG :) Good afternoon folks. So My hot tub went down about 2...

So I havent added any PH increaser in a long time.. Pool is four years old. this is the first time the PH has been low. We have a party today so I didnt research methods etc and added 10oz or so of PH up (the PH is perfect now btw) directly to my fiberglass pool. Now I have a white film all over...

So This year (3rd full year with my pool) There has been a weird grey gunkish film building up in my skimmer area. Thick enough to just form a ring around the inside, but super sticking and gross. No idea whats causing it. I have a Salt pool, fiberglass. This year the pool company added too...

Good morning.. I cant seem to find this part anywhere.. its not listed in the manual anywhere... Its the belt that I believe goes front to back down the middle... Any idea where I can find it? thank you

Good day all. So Ive been around the pool and tub forums a little over a year.. Had my ups and downs. early on I had a similar hot tub issue with chlorine just going away FAST. Ive learned 1. Make sure SWG is operational and salt level adequate. 2. CYA - without CYA chlorine goes hyper fast 3...

So I have been fighting FC for the last few weeks and I may have finally figured out why. Bottles of 12.5% i bought from menards this spring are WOEFULLY underperforming. For instance, I was at FC1, wanting to get to 12 to SLAM and I put in 5 oz as per pool math, and the immediate test showed up...

So I have the utmost faith in this stuff because its gotten some MAJOR gunk out of my lines in the past... However this time (running now) its 20 minutes in with NO gunk, at all... Like nothing... Its about 4.5 months of use (fairly light during summer and fall) but still, I would have expected...

So This is my 2nd winter with with my hot tub... Last year I had it go green a few times because CYA slipped away, the SWG couldnt keep up and bam. This year its much better. I upped the salt a bit, and upped the CYA a lot.. running around 60. However because of this, I am constantly running...

So I own a Dr Wellness spa that I love. One thing that I learned without a fact, is clarifier is garbage. As soon as you add it to hot tub it turns to gunk, literally a thick gel film. Perhaps a tiny bit is ok, but anything more is awful. I thought for the longest time that my issue was the...

So my pool is about a month and a half old. The first month the CH was around 100... I upped it recently to 220. I dont know if this was happening before or after the change, but either way I noticed these little deposits. you can see them just above the water line... What i think is...

So My pool is in, and finally the COVER is on *auto cover* so im not blowing FC out the top, not having to drain with heavy rains... First test PH - 7.9 TA - 90 FC- .5 CC - 0 CYA - 0 (havent added any) CH - 100 Sal - 3000 So not bad out of the gate really. First thing first is to get my PH...

I know there are some older threads, and Ive read them... There are valid points made on both sides.. The reason I ask is this. I have had my pool for 2 weeks. Because of heavy rains (and pumping out water a lot because of it) and the cover is not yet on (auto cover) I have decided to wait...

Im a little concerned about my hard water as well... I have a new FG pool and am wondering if I want to get my water to 200-250 at least to avoid some white marks around the top of the pool.

Good morning folks... and a beautiful morning it is :) So I just had my pool installed.. Its a Thursday Pools, 15,500 gallon fiberglass pool. IC 40, Variable speed pentair pump, and Pentair Cartridge filter. I am exploring the options around automation .. I am a really techy person (i have...

So My pool has just been installed, and salt added a couple days ago.. SWG is running at 60% (IC40, 15,500 gallon pool). and Chlorine output seems fine. My question is this... If I produce X amount of chlorine per day, with zero usage of the pool (auto cover on) will the SWG just keep on...

So I have my system up and running... I have the Pentair 3HP variable speed pump... My pool is roughly 12,000 gallons. The manual says it can do 20-140 GPM. Thats a pretty crazy range. But lets assume 20 on the lowest setting (1-4) Thats 1200 GPH so in this scenario am I right in thinking it...

Is anyone aware of a system much like a pool drain (like 6 ft long sections with a drain slatted cover) but for landscaping and wires? So here is my dilemna im trying to solve for. I have a LOT 20+ landscape lights by Philips hue (10 calla path lights) and at least 10 lily spots. Well they...

So My pool is in, they are pouring final concrete this afternoon... So I am in the process of brushing down the sides and getting it cleaned up... Its FILTY... The water isnt terrible but there is a ton of dirt and debris on the bottom. I dont necessarily want to run that through my filter too...

Good morning... So My new FG pool is in the ground... Im about a week maybe a bit more from being able to get it going. My main questions is around PH/TA. With my hot tub it requires me dropping my water from 80 to 40/50 TA before I get a stable enough PH . How that factor in to pool...

Good morning :) So my pool is going in tomorrow and next week (very exciting) That said I am going to be installing a water box in the yard for a hose fitting - check. However I am thinking about the cover pump etc... I am not a fan of having to drag it out every time from storage, plug it...

Good morning.. So pool is imminent (maybe a week or less) . My friends all have dolphins and swear by them, so thats the direction ill likely head. Their website is littered with 100 options... Is there anything specific I should be looking for? I keep gravitating to the M400 w/ caddy... seems...

Good morning fine peeps :) So my wife and I were talking about this on our date last night... (i thought she was against it, but apparently not haha). Pools are still somewhat rare in our area and swimming lessons are in high demand. A couple of the places we used to take our kids are now...

So ever since (a couple weeks ago) I let my tub go cloudy because my CYA dropped to zero, FC also ive been blowing through FC at about 4-5 PPM per day (with no use). I cleaned it up , its crystal clear. No more gunk is collecting, and things are generally great... Smells fine, as I said its...

Do any of you know of a small biometric safe to store your pool cover key in? Obviously I could just put it up on a shelf, or something, but I want to be more secure than that.. I also want to allow friends and family the ability to use the pool when we are gone without worrying about the wrong...

So for the first time since Nov when we filled the tub for the first time I had a group of people in the hot tub for a LONG time. 4 Women for about 3 hours. Booze, etc..all that fun ness. They had a blast, so yay for them. Before I went to bed I put in about 8oz of bleach just to get me...

Ok. Havent used the hot tub in a week or so, and I wake up to a green tub. NO FC...... As soon as I saw it I knew... CYA was 0.... I dont know why, and maybe this is normal, but my CYA dissipates fairly quickly. Is that fairly common? I had a CYA of 40 not long ago when I filled the tub...

So I want to add an outlet (wall mount on concrete) right along side of my sub panel. Im comfortable wiring it up but I cant seem to find a weather enclosed wall mount gfci with enough room to house an adapter . The adapter is a fairly big one for the Rachio irrigation system im mounting over...

Good afternoon folks... so with the pool going in im also working on my under deck area. It will have a 65" tv w/ a fireplace on a brick wall. I want the fireplace to be electric, wall hanging preferably so I dont have to recess it. Everything im finding is like 5" or more thick... is there...
