    New Caldera Reunion spa, Vanishing Act Pillow for 24 hours!?

    We just had a new Caldera Reunion spa set up, heated up overnight and there is a yellow line at the water line, not grimy, just yellow. I guess we went out of order and added salt and turned on the SWG, added PH decrease since it was about 8, and added a half cap of shock to stop whatever is...

    micro clear de filter rusted top manifold

    Pool guy opened this to clean the grids and said the rod was stripped and spinning so he didn’t take the grids out, was worried it would let go back together because I need a new rod. Do I need a new top manifold top? Why would it be rusted like that. Grids were replaced 2 months ago.

We didn't have the time to do it ourselves and all pool companies insisted the sand had to be replaced at the same time. But, we are still getting a...

    5 year old tablets to increase CYA?

    Bought a bucket of tablets and box of shock granule bags when we moved in, then realized our CYA was at 120 or higher, found TFP and they've been sitting in the garage ever since. After a 4-summer battle, our CYA is now around 30. Will these 5-year old tablets or granules work to raise CYA...

    used 2017 Dolphin M500, should I buy it?

    I have a 15K Gal vinyl pool surrounded by trees with no auto cover. I'm looking into a robotic cleaner and came across a lady selling a Dolphin M500, she used it for 2 summers before selling that house. What's a good price? Could I get a new robot that meets my needs for cheaper? She has it...
