We had massive amounts of rain so I put a pump in the pool to drain some of the water. Out of pure laziness and because it was raining cats and dogs, I just unplugged the pump but left it in the pool. I come back 24 hours later and the pool is about 6 inches lower. I'm guessing a pump will...

Pool was installed in late 2019 so it’s only 2.5 years old. Is it normal to have this much rust? Pool is salt water.

First year with the pool, never done a closing before. Pool company quoted me $300 for the closing, and then of course all the extra costs come in for things I assumed were included (again, I'm a total newb at this): $99 to add shock, algaecide and metal sequestrant $99 to clean SWG cell $99...

I SLAMmed the pool a week ago and got the FC up to 28. Pool was turning green but the SLAM fixed it quickly. Pool is crystal clear. The FC has not gone down, however. It’s still at 28. I also drained and refilled a few inches of water (unrelated) and it hasn’t changed. ph 7.8 Salt 3000 CYA 30...

I posted about a week ago how my pool filled up about 3-4 inches after a huge rain. We’ve had a good 3 more huge storms. The pool was overflowing and I had to start pumping water out. Now my levels are messed up and the water is slightly cloudy too. ph: 7.8 maybe 7.9 Cya: 30 Chlorine: 0. The...

Heavy rain added about 2-3 inches of water to my pool over the past 48 hours. The water level is above the skimmer. My pool installer never told me how to drain water if I need. I have a ClearWater 2 cartridge filter. can I just unscrew the cap in the back and let water out or do I need to do...

7.8 ph 60 cya 160 TA FC is off the charts. I’ve added 30 drops using the Taylor test kit and still nothing. swg is on 0%. Is it bad to have chlorine that high consistently? Nobody has complained at all while swimming.

I have a set of wedding cake steps that keep floating around like crazy. It has a large hole in the back where I put three 50 pound sand bags plus about 25 extra pounds of weight. can’t get them to stay still. I refuse to install the brackets that get screwed into the patio (patio was more...

(specs in signature) 11,000 Gallon SW pool, barely used so far this summer because I've been getting work done in the yard for the past 2-3 weeks. Solar cover has been on it the whole time. Still not that hot here in NY so not much swimming. I am brand spankin' new at pools so everything...
