Please help! I just got a new above ground pool pump on amazon, and it doesn't come with fittings. The outside and inside is threaded, outside is 2.5" I believe and inside is 1.5". the hose that comes with my pool has a 2" threaded end. You'd think it would be easy to find a 2 to 1.5 threaded on...

2nd year using this best way pool pump. I know people mention they're not great, and I wasn't expecting a miracle. However it has worked great to keep our pool clean for a whole year and now going on 2. 1 problem though, there's a decent running leak coming from the frame and I'm not sure how I...

My wife's dad just got a hot tub and I was going to bring my tf kit over to test for him today. He said he's been using bromine but it keeps showing up with zero. My assumption is no cya, assuming it works like chlorine in a pool. I've only worked on our pool, not a hot tub. Are they basically...

Hi everyone, it's been a while! I have learned so much since last summer and have turned other friends to you guys and this way. I have a question though that I hope is simple to answer... My pool looks and basically is crystal clear. However every day when I go out to scrub the floor to check...

Yes, I'm less than thrilled right now to say the least. I'm not home, my wife just texted me. She said they tried to go in and get it but it broke into tiny pieces that they can't get. It was dog poop from outside. WTH am I supposed to do once I get home to fix this issue. I'm hoping I'll laugh...

Well it's kind of that time I can tell where none of us are using the pool anymore because it's a bit too cold, kids are just going and playing at the park more now. If you're from phoenix or have warmer weathered winters (not snowing), what's your method for "winterizing"? What steps do I need...

Well, we got our Costco pool back in March, learned some great lessons from here after struggling to maintain it into June. Ever since I began understanding balancing levels, it has truly been a "TFP" since June! Every night I just go out and toss some liquid chlorine in, vacuum and scrub once a...

So somehow the side posts for our pool started digging in below the surface level of the artificial turf and is lodged up against the pavers, but dug down below the turf. I'm just so concerned as to if this would cause the pool to collapse over time. Might be kind of hard to see the posts...

I know others on here have mentioned when they turn their filter on the return jet shoots cloudy water out initially back into the pool and becomes a vicious cycle. For me personally, the backwash hasn't helped at all with removing the cloudiness from coming back in the pool. This evening I...

My main concern being property damage from collapse or something unforeseen. Our pool is about 4 feet from the side of our house, about 5 feet from the wall separating us from the house behind us and maybe 10/20ft on the other 2 sides from the wall next to the other 2 houses. We have a 6,500...

Just curious how a pool cleaning company could possibly do a slam? For that matter, how do they even get rid of green water? From what I've learned from my slam at least, it's nearly an all day process from beginning to end. Surely a company can't tend to one pool all day. Just curious how they...

So typically before bed I'll add 3-4 ppm of liquid chlorine which for me is about 21-28 oz. I typically have a small pitcher I'll measure it out in, then when I take it out to the pool I'll throw it in all at once (with filter running), but then I will proceed to take the pitcher and swish the...

Attached picture. Noticed it's been leaking watery rust, took cap off and black rusty water came out. How do I fix this, if at all?

I'm really struggling here to remove cloudiness. I'll tell you my current numbers... FC- 15 (shocked some the last 2 nights) Ph- 7.2 TA- 130 Ch-600 Cya-60ish To be honest our pool was perfectly clean and visible to the bottom before about 3 weeks ago when we went camping for 3 nights, came back...

Hi everyone, so the filter on my best way above ground pool doesn't come with a timer, so I attached one to it. However, I still have to annoyingly go out every night and turn it on (I set it for Dawn to dusk so I only have to turn it on, it turns itself off). Anyway, we are going on a camping...

I've been reading through the ABCs and other articles. Still don't remember ideal numbers off top of my head. I'm sure these strips aren't as good as the tfp test kit, but it's all I have for now. From what I am reading, it seems most of the numbers are ok except free chlorine. I'm going to...

We have a small back yard and basically it has enough room to fit a trampoline and the pool, nothing else really. Winter time I was planning to tear it down (mid October) and set it back up (mid April) to gain back our artificial grass area for the kids to play some. Is this practical or will it...

I have a best way 12x22 above ground pool with a sand filter. When I turn it on I know that water is being pulled from the b valves and shooting out back into the pool from A valve, but even after 8-12 hours of running, the top of my pool still has tons of tiny debris and barely visible gnats in...

Best way 12x22 pool came with a solar heating pad. I can already tell this thing isn't going to do much for warming our pool up. Out of curiosity, I've noticed the 2 "b" valves which suck water out of the pool, I can barely feel any water being sucked into them. Is this a result of the solar...

Just bought a Costco best way 12x22 above ground pool. Came with a sand filter pump. I noticed it didn't have a timer on it like a video I saw of it on YouTube for setup. I went to home Depot to buy an outdoor timer so it would turn on at dusk for 6-8 hours and then turn off. Well, turns out it...
