    Concrete damage

    I'm definitely not a concrete expert but I'm surprised I had damage like this to my pool deck. I can't think of anything that could have caused it. I left a sump pump on the concrete for a day or two but I've done that before in different spots. Any ideas, I'd hate for it to happen again...

    Ichlor 30 Dead?

    When I go into the diagnostic display is shows 9551 hours, if this swg has a lifespan of 10,000 hours I guess mine is dead? Cell light is flashing green and display reads cell. I did an acid bath last year even though it didn't seem to need it so I doubt that it has a lot of scale build up.

    Handheld pool vacuum battery powered

    I didn't realize that these existed until about a week ago and I think it could solve my issue with my pool. My normal vacuum is great and I have no problem with it but it doesn't get the corners very well and the only way I can effectively remove dead algae is to manually vacuum. Has anyone...

    Hayward cartridge filter differences

    I have a hayward cartridge filter I believe C3030 and I just purchased a W3C5030. 1) Is there any difference between the expert line vs open line other than the warranty period? 2) I got a really good deal on the larger filter but as far as I can tell the only difference is the taller cartridges...

    Freezing water level

    This is the first year that I've closed my pool and I did it myself. The water level is still going through the skimmer opening and I have a gizzmo inside the skimmer. I'm worried about the whole top layer freezing and damaging the skimmer opening. Is this something I should worry about...

    Black algae?

    I have a fiberglass pool and noticed this on our stairs. I scrub pretty hard and it stays. How can you tell if it’s algae vs a stain?

    Heat pump spring

    At what temp do you turn your heat pump on for the spring? I don't know if it's just because this is the first spring I've owned a pool but it seems like this has been a very chilly spring. I'm hoping these next few days will be the last cold spell before warming up for good. I've been...

    Sump pump well

    I just bought a sump pump for the 8” pipe next to my pool and the ground water is really high. How low should I drain that pump? Is there any harm with pumping 4 feet out?

    I purchased a robot to help clean my pool last year when we installed the fiberglass pool. We have about a 4 inch ledge that goes around the pool so you can stand even in the deep end. The robot has a problem cleaning that area and it seems like that's where most of my accumulation builds up...

    Safety cover size

    I have a “16x41” foot pool. The real width and length is 15x40 at the coping. It’s a rectangular pool with no steps. I’d like to purchase a stock size cover because of the cost but it sounds like the warranty will be voided if it doesn’t fit right. I guess there are wear strips or something...

    New fiberglass SWG pool

    we just got a pool filled and running. I thought maybe this subforum would be better to ask. I would think I would want my pump running 24/7 for now? Does the speed matter?

    Fiberglass pool TN

    We are in the middle of our fiberglass pool install. The installer noticed a damaged area of the pool, above where the water line will be. Thursday pool is sending someone out to fix the problem. I'm just not sure how upset I should be or is it not much of a big deal.
