Bought 1992-built house in 1999. White plaster pool was already in the ground, with some mottling and a stain. Sine 2022 a few plaster blisters started showing up, and I am now in the midst of getting replastering quotes. I almost had a heart attack when I heard the cost of basic color-changin...

I typically have to add acid every few days to bring my ph down. In fact, if I let it go a couple of weeks, I will exceed 8.0. I recently had a surgery and, as, expected, during the time I was away, the pH crept up to 8.0, so over the next few days, I added a cup of acid to gradually lower the...

When is it NOT OK to replaster a pool?

Century's Vlink looks to be a dead project, which is sad, because their mobile app looks pretty cool, although I'm not sure why they chose to go client-server based through their own servers (which is likely why the whole thing is now defunct, or appears to soon be). Thus, I am looking for a...

I've had my pool for 23 years and, for many of the years, I would cover the pool for heat. Believe it or not, in all this time I've only bought two covers, both of which I think have lasted between 5 and 7 years. Neither of them fell apart by separating at the seams nor did either of them...

What do you guys and gals without SWG do to keep FC up when you go out of town for a few days to a week? I got my CYA to 35 in preparation of an upcoming trip thinking I would use tabs while I am gone. I then discovered theit cost is way up to the tune of $6.50 for one lousy tab, and over $50...

I understand how CYA works. I'd like to ask you experts what you would do to raise CYA if you were in my shoes. After installing my new pump motor a few days ago, I cleaned my cartridge filter yesterday. Took a water sample into the local Leslie's today. FC is 3.76, PH is through the roof at...

My AO Smith/Century QC1102/SC1102 single speed pump died, so I need something in a hurry. It just HAD to die right when the weather starts to warm up. Why couldn't it have died mid-winter, so I have more time? Anyway, Amazon won't ship a replacement to me, nor will some other vendors, due to it...

I'm not prepared to have it replastered right now, and have two holes in the top layer of plaster, 2"x2" and 3"x3". Anyone have experience to share about what product I might use to do his underwater?

This is a test thread.

Does anyone know if I need to notify the water company prior to doing this?

I believe I have debris stuck inside one of my Jandy Never Lube diverter valves. My question is: Can I just pop off the handle, unscrew the 8 screws and take the lid off to dismantle it? Is there anything I need to prepare myself to go wrong? Like do I ALWAYS have to replace the o-ring, or...

Not sure where I should have posted this, so Mods, I apologize if you have to move this to the proper board. I am trying to get a good understanding of how all my pool equipment, plumbing and valves work in preparation for a partial drain and refill, as has been suggested by experienced members...

I've read information on this site for years, but this is my first post, so please forgive me if I am not providing enough information, or if I sound like an idiot. I am already kicking myself in the rear for making dumb decisions, as you will see below. I've been battling this dark green...
