Trying to figure out what is appearing on the bottom of my pool. This is new this year, pool was opened a few weeks ago, chemical levels normal, first appeared without solar cover, and continues after putting that on. The water is clear and I havent had and CC, or overnight test issues...

My pool was opened last week, I am pretty sure that the debris on the cover found its way into the the water, but can't confirm. I spent a few days shocking the pool, vaccuming (pool was a little cloudy, and middle had pile of leaves), then backwashed my sand filter and added dry CYA. Water is...

I had my pool closed (above ground) and my winter cover, about 3 years old, appears to have a hole, or small tears. It was sitting on the water and a few hours after closing I noticed water on top of the cover (in a line fold), and it increased slightly over the next day. Does this pose an...

I am an iOS user, had pool math last year, and subscribed with auto renew. The renewal went through a few days ago, but when I log into app and try to add new logs I get prompted to subscribe. If I click restore subscription it says it can't find anything. On the about page it shows my...

I had PVC pipe installed from skimmer to pump last year, and there is no disconnect from the skimmer box side (so pipe is detatched from pump only). Water pooled in the box during the winter, and now the water that is still in there is a bit green, and it's dirty. Should I blow that water out...

where do you keep you Taylor 2006 kit, liquid chlorine and other pool chemicals? basement, garage, shed, outdoor bin? I’m wondering where I can safely keep these (and have easy access). What is heat sensitive? thanks!

So I pulled my steps out and was trying to clean them, and found that the rubber protector on the bottom is full of yuck. 1. Is this sorta normal since there is no water flow there? 2. If not, how do I prevent this ( assuming I’ll see if I can get a new rubber protector) 3. Can anyone recommend...

I know you shouldn’t swim in a green pool, or otherwise non clear water, but I’d it safe to swim in water that is clear otherwise? I know lots of people with pools and must do what the pool store said or other non TFP methods. I see a bunch of posts about Oclt and if you fail there may still be...

So I’m adding more cya powered form, I have a skimmer sock and poured out over that. I’m not using a foot sock since I tried that last time and I don’t think anything was dissolving ( still packed there morning after) anyways, I know I should leave pump on 24 hours, does it need to be high...

I have an AG vinyl lined pool, and my brush snapped (where it clips into the pole) the bristles were also falling out when I used it. It was only one year old, should I expect all to be disposable like this? what is the best one to get?

I just put in pool steps a few weeks ago and noticed a little green around the pole at the water line. Is this algae, should I be concerned? i test ph and fc daily, ph usually fluctuates between 7.4-7.7(then I add some dry acid) i add liquid chlorine(10% hth) nightly to keep fc around 3...

Birds like to land and walk on my solar cover. I found poop on it and wasn’t sure how to handle. What’s the consensus, trap that section over pool and hose off? anyway to prevent the poop?

I am looking for a robot cleaner for my above ground, which has wedding cake steps. Is there something that could keep the steps clean, or will i need to break out the manual vac for those?

Do I need to power off the heat pump or change the temp if I’m not running the pump? i don’t want to run the pump 24/7, if the pump turns off and the water is still below the set temp on the HP can I leave it? Would that damage anything since it would still want to heat but there is no flow?

Hello, I have a 2 speed pump, when on high it pushes the solar cover to the other side of the pool. My understanding is that I need to run on high for the heat pump, and probably 10 hours or more a day (will find out when it actually gets warm outside). I used to chlorinate and run pump...

I have a semi inground, 16x24 in Long Island NY. I am looking for heat pump recommendations and installers. I don’t have gas or oil, but I have a breaker in the panel next to pool. Pool used late May to sept/ oct Thanks!

I am not good at matching colors but. TA 110 pH 8 FC 0 Cya 0(I think) CH 40 pH photos attached first is pH second is after 1 drop of acid

As mentioned I have an ionizer, if I want to use BBB method can I leave the device on as normal? It is attached to filter before return jet. Should I just put level to zero, is the only downside to leaving it on the possibility of copper staining? If I want to remove (perhaps at end of season...

So I have a new pool, about 2 ft inground, and I'm trying to assess my options for getting in and out. Anyone know if they make A frame steps that are for semi inground? I am leaning towards wedding cake steps in the pool and having that attached to a potential deck or other landing that may...

Hi, I just got an above ground pool (10,000 gal) installed, it is my first pool. I wanted little maintenance and was recommended/ sold a power ionizer (so I've wouldn't have to treat the water as often). So now that pool is installed and open, I am reading and watching videos on how to take...
