New liner is being ordered this week for my in ground pool. If anyone recalls, it split in the fall last year and we got a pool company onboard to change it now that the season is upon us. So, here's my question... What brand of pool liner to get? We've been looking at Latham, Merlin, and...

Water level started dropping noticably this weekend and while inspecting for where the leak could be, I noticed this. Figured there wasn't much sense in pursuing the leak at that point and the water level seems to have stabilized, albeit about an inch or so below the low water line on skimmer...

Anyone know of a way to factory default this thing to clear all settings? I was trying to change its WiFi network and somehow got stuck in this limbo where it is still connected to the old WiFi network (can see it in network management app), but I cannot get it to reconnect to the app...

Moved from HERE A friend of mine is having this exact problem with a Hayward multiport on an above ground pool filter. Just curious if OP found the problem. I read in another thread that if you're not careful during reassembly, the stand pipe can extend too far up into the multiport and block...

I've been trying to talk him into getting his own TF-100 test kit to test and maintain his water on his own for a couple of years now. Maybe this time will be the winner. His pool is a bit out of whack and now it looks like (at least I'm guessing) some of his heat exchanger is part of the...

What are you poor folks who live in snowy winter lands, like myself, do for your liquid chlorine, muriatic acid, etc. chemical storage with easy access by the hot tub? Not supposed to store the CL and MA together in the same bin, so it seems two bins or boxes would be needed. Perhaps my sealed...

Need to order a cover for the hot tub. Been looking and it's pretty hard to determine if any places are better than others. Anyone have experiences they would like to share? I was looking at hottubcoverspot.com. They seem to have decent pricing and delivery times. Anyone ordered from them...

Anyone have a Saltron Mini that could give me the accurate dimensions of the cell? Trying to determine what size opening it would fit through, so its largest points would be helpful too. Thanks!

Is my Dolphin jumping out of the water?

Sold by Pool Mate as Black Algaecide, but a closer inspection of the label shows it is Polyquat 60. Not a bad deal at $19.95 for a quart at Ocean State Job Lot

They sound awesome... and very expensive. Anyone have any experience? https://www.leisureconcepts.com/products/smartop/

So, I had bought a house with a hot tub and in someone's moment of infinite wisdom, they had put the hot tub platform right outside the downstairs bathroom window... which is my mother-in-law's bathroom window. I'm not even going to get into where the bathroom fart-fan vent is located. I need...

Best price I'm finding is $249.95 from Spa Depot. I don't know of many reputable sites to check. Anyone find it for less recently?

Goofy question for the day... When not using my heater, I plan on leaving it bypassed but concerned about water just sitting inside of it. I may even automate the bypass valve so that when heater is not active, it automatically is bypassed. I know I could automate a drain valve, but I'm...

I have a spa bathtub in the house that needs a good cleaning. It only produces air bubbles from a ring of small holes around the perimeter of the bottom of tub. No jets, and as far as I can tell, only a blower for the air. If water isn't circulating through the holes, what's the procedure for...

Goofy question for the day... Can a stand-alone hot tub be hooked up to pool plumbing to share heating/filter/etc? Mostly just wondering if it's possible. Seems like it could be advantageous.

Oddball question of the day. Would it be possible (easy) to put the guts from a Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm heater into the housing from a Pentair MasterTemp heater? Why do I ask? Because the Pentair MasterTemp housing appears to be a lot simpler to rodent proof. Yes. I'm like that.

I don't think I'm going in. This sucker is a bit murky.

We moved into our house about 3 years (maybe 4, I can't remember) and there was a pool and hot tub. The pool has been open every year, and spectacularly clear thanks to TFP, but I have not tackled the hot tub and it has sat empty and idle. The brand name appears to be Tiger River Spas. I'm...

No more shaking/swirling/losing count of drops! Yay!

Not sure if this is a problem with the app or it's the way I'm using it. As soon as I leave a screen for test results/add chemicals, my test result I entered disappears or reverts to some other number. Then go to the CSI, and all fields are blank. I suspect it may be that I need to create a log...

Anyone know who has them in stock? Inyo is shipping you CMP valves, Polytec site is down. Looks like InTheSwim may have them, but I'm suspicious if they really are.

But can't see it in mobile browser. Look OK?

Any suggestions on "safe" Trichlor tabs to use while away for a week or so? Specifically, ones without copper in them? Have a friend with Pool Mate 3" All-In-1 tabs, 1-1425M, and label says 94.05% Trichlor, 5.95% other. Best MSDS sheet I could find lists that 5.95% as "Trade Secret". Also...

Is it normal that the drop size of the R-0011L (blue stuff) seems noticably smaller than drop sizes from the other reagents? I figure it may be due to the viscosity but wanted to ask.

Lately it seems like my skimmer just isn't doing a great job, so I have been fiddling with the aiming of the return eyeballs in an attempt to help circulation of surface water to skimmer. (Sorry for the low res Google Earth image) The magenta is my single skimmer and the red are the three...

Why don't they just call it a shutoff? Doesn't seem like it diverts flow anywhere but just stops or starts flow... or am I overlooking something?

Getting ready to order a few diverter valves and a check valve or two. Should I be concerned about getting valves that have built-in union connectors or just get glue (cement) togethers? I'm probably overthinking it in that if I have to redo some plumbing and run out of cemented in pipe to cut...

When I first moved in 3 years ago, the CYA was about 110ppm. I immediately stopped using pucks or "bars" after learning here that they contained CYA. The level has been steadily dropping. Last year, I closed out the season with it at about 40ppm. This year, when I opened, it was below 20...

Have a few small holes in liner that need patching. Called a local scuba shop that also specializes in pool repair. $335 to come out, inspect, find holes (blatantly obvious with light blue nearly solid color liner), and patch up to 12 holes or 12 inches or an hour, whichever comes first. Seems...
