I'm replacing a non-working Hayward pool light. I'm going to replace the entire fixture because there appears to be moisture penetrating it but I'm at a loss for what to purchase. I don't have automation but would like a color changing led bulb. Is my best option to buy an inexpensive light...

Woke up this morning to find that a deer must have gone for a late night swim and evacuated in my pool. My CYA is at 70-80 and FC was 9.0 last night. I cleaned up the mess as best I could but the majority of the pellets fell apart as I was scooping. Anyone have any recommendations as far as...

This is preemptive but I'm assuming at some point in the near future I will need to add water to maintain my water level in the pool (it's finally stopped raining in mid-Michigan). My water quality report from the city shows iron present (.02-.1 ppm)...
