Just had a new variable speed pump installed on my inground pool. 3 hours later and there’s still tiny bubbles coming out of the returns. The water level is fine and I’m topping it off a little more just in case. No vortex in the skimmer. The pump basket looks good - no water bubbles at full...

This past week I noticed some faint green / yellowish spots at the bottom of the pool, along with small white spots. They are pretty hard to spot, as evidenced by the photo below where you can only see faint discoloration. Either way, there are 3 of these spots that weren't there before. Now I...

First pool opening for a newbie owner. I've read pool school cover to cover twice coming into the season, picked up a Taylor test kit and have tried my best to be diligent with testing. Still, I can't seem to get my CC to budge down and feel a little flustered that it's so high ( >6 almost every...
