Hi all, I credit this site for teaching me how to maintain my own pool 10+ years ago, so thank you! In Sept 2021, I moved the family to a house without a pool for the first time in those 10+ years... with a plan to get one built asap. And with just a bit of a delay, we signed on for a pool...

Hey all -- So I had been fighting a hazy/cloudy pool for a couple weeks. Nothing major, just not pretty. Seemed like the more I ran the filter, the cloudier it got, despite having solid chem levels. So I took a break from running the (sand) filter more than the usual timer (about 2 hrs a day...

I read up in pool school about how to add DE to my sand filter... but I've seen people mention that DE is hazardous to breath in and get on your skin, etc. My sand filter backwashes to the very front of my yard, so it flows directly to the side of the street. But where the water pops up, is...

Hey all -- I've been doing a lot of studying here, and have already gotten rid of my chlorine tablet floater and have switched to liquid choline instead of using weekly doses of Chlor-Brite to chlorinate my pool. :) I just have a few questions that you guys can probably help me with. (Pics...

Hey all --- I've been trying to learn as much as possible here before posting, but I still have a question. I have a chlorine pool... my general routine is get PH down with Acid, add chlorine with Chlor-Brite from Leslies. Also, we use the 3" pucks in a floater (I know, I know --- I'm...
