Hi guys!! Thanks for all the wealth of great info on this site. My pool has been in virtually immaculate condition for the three summers we’ve had it now. My husband and I have been completely managing it on our own with the help of Trouble Free Pools! That being said, I now have a question. We...

Hi guys! Thanks for all the extremely helpful information over the past 2 years that we’ve owned our pool. So, our sand filter developed a leak which got repaired today. When I came home from work, I went outside to net out the pool and noticed it was cloudy. Not extremely cloudy, just slightly...

So, I just recently noticed a new issue with one of my pool returns. Small air bubbles are coming out of it. The sand filter seems to be watertight all the way to the top of the water pressure gauge. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, or if this is even a problem. Please advise. Thanks in...

Hi again, guys!! So, we have a 15k gallon quartz plaster pool in Oklahoma. We’re keeping our pool open all winter...we have an attached spa we use frequently. I don’t think our salt water generator has ran in 1.5-2 months since our water temps have been so much colder since then. That being...

Hi! Our pool was recently built (completed March, 2020). We have been fighting our pH rising ever since. We add at least a gallon of muriatic acid to our pool weekly. My question has 2 parts. 1. Isn’t the sole purpose of total alkalinity to keep the pH stable, so it doesn’t go too low? 2. Since...

I’ve noticed my SWG registers a lower salt level the lower the temperature it is. When it’s warmer, the salt level registers higher. Why is that? What effect does temperature have on the actual salt level? ??‍♀️ Thanks in advance!

Hi, guys! I’m new to being a pool owner, and also new on this forum. I hope I’m posting this in the correct category as I was unsure exactly where this fits. I have hopefully correctly updated my signature with all my necessary pool specs. Let me know if you need any further information...

Hi, Guys!! I’m new to this forum, and a brand new inground pool owner. We just had our pool built. It was finished approximately 2 weeks ago. It’s approximately 18x38 feet, freeform with attached spa; Gunite, quartz plaster; salt water. We’re hoping it’ll bring us a lot of enjoyment. We’ve...
