Hi Everyone, My coping has always been flaking some, but after our big freeze a couple of weeks ago, a huge amount of layers flaked off. most ended up in the pool, but I get some bushed off the other direction. My wife feels that the flaking got worst after I converted to a SWCG, but maybe...

About a month ago, I got a Pentair Warrior to clean the pool. The pool had some leaves at that time, but I knew the worst was still to come with the Live Oaks doing their leaf-dump about now. I put the cleaner in the pool, and it pretty much instantly clogged with leaves. I don't really feel...

Hi, Thank you for the all the great work on the Pool Math app. I just created a new "pool" in Pool Math to hold test results for my fill water– mainly CH. It would be nice if there was an explicit place to store the fill water information that wasn't burdened by the additional pool tracking...

Was this stuff a poor choice (by the previous owner) for coping stone? It is some kind of sandstone that is flaking off in layers. I've looked through the skimmer from the vacuum a few times, and it has been full of flakes from this stone. Is it typical for pool coping? Since I've switched to a...

I have a "The Pool Cleaner" left by the previous owner. I used it a few times last year, but I mostly used a pressure side Polaris cleaner since is seemed to work better on leaves. "The Pool Cleaner" works nicely for fine stuff on the bottom, though. Once I got all the leaves out this season...

Hi Everyone, I got a bit rambunctious trying to unscrew the top of my chlorine feeder and ended up cracking the output pipe. Here's the crack. I can't imagine there's any way to fix the crack. Originally, I was planning on replacing it, but I'm not sure how to go about that even. The...

Hi Everyone, I just moved into a house in February with a pool. This is the first time being a pool owner, and I've been learning a lot on the site. Thank you! My test results earlier today were: FC: 0.0 CC: 0.0 pH: 8.2 CYA: 60 This is pretty typical of what I've been measuring, and I've...
