    Wacky results on water test

    I just got to my pool in SW Florida. 4 weeks ago it was broadly fine, although the salt was low. According to Leslie's it was around 2800ppm. I cleaned my Intellichlor. My pool service, who are generally very good, added a couple of bags of salt and said the chlorine was high, so knock the...

    Any tricks for removing rust stains?

    After Hurricane Ian collapsed my pool enclosure into my pool, I have a few small spots on the bottom of the pool caused by rust. They're not serious, but they annoy me. My pool guy says he can remove them by pouring HCl onto them through a pipe. Not sure how he would do that in the deep end...

    Intelliflo plumbing question

    I'm looking for some insight on how to best use an Intelliflo pump. I'm not clear how the programmable features on the pump work, for the simple reason that I can't visualize the required plumbing. My current pool, which I think is around 35k gallons, has 3 skimmers, a waterfall and a Polaris...
