    Is this pollen or Algae

    I thought my “pollen” problem was because I was having trouble with my robot but I am starting to think this is an algae. This is the first time dealing with this in the 4 years we have had the pool. It brushes away like it is pollen but it seems to keep coming back to the same areas (sloped...

I got two estimates to have it done which ranged from $1200 for just the new concrete texture and color to about $5000 to texture the new concrete and put a fresh coat on the existing. After talking...

    55lbs or 552lbs? Switching to salt

    I recently received my RJ45+ but won’t be able to install it for another week or two. In the mean time I want to start getting my salt up in the water. I just received my K-1766 test kit and tested last night. First drop and it turned to the milky red brick color so I am calculating only 200 for...
