    Leaving for Vacation

    I'll be leaving for about 8 days and I typically use liquid chlorine added by me daily. I searched for threads and found the suggestion of getting a floater that could hold the pucks while I'm gone. Should I get Dichlor or Trichlor (sp?). I believe my CYA is around 30-35 currently because of...

    Salt high or low??

    Okay here goes... Salt test kit (k-1766) says my Salt is at 5000. However, my SWG has the low Salt indicator on. I'm not sure which to believe. Prior to this new issue all was happy happy happy and I had one of plastic lines disconnect from the pool 3 times draining the pool below the skimmer...

Bought my salt (3-40# bags) from "start up chart" in SWG manual. I'm placing an order for the K-1766 and a couple other regents from my TF-100 that are...

    Help stagnant water!

    So I began the leveling project to put in my above ground pool. We removed lots of boulders that we encountered and low aread clay soil. Well it has been raining non-stop and I have water sitting stagnant in areas that are low. It's not draining off and not really evaporating. Even if it...

    New Summer Waves 14x48

    I have read that some people put the pool legs on cement blocks. The instructions just say to put straight on the ground. I turn to you guys for all the best pool advice! Should I put down the cement pavers against what the manual says? If so, I read an article posted on another thread that...

    Summer Waves - 14 ×48 (Can't Winterize??)

    I made the jump this year from an easy set pool to this Summer Waves 14 ft. in plans to upgrade when needed again (2/3 yrs) and am hoping to prepare (level) my pool area ONCE. I realize I'll have to touch it up a bit. I will probably just go to 16 foot next time nothing too large. However, I...

    Saltwater 5000 (Pool Fsctory) vs Saltwater Destiny (Royal)??

    First off I want to say that this forum has been a lifesaver!! I'm trying to decide between these two pools. I'm going to convert to Salt water after my first season as this first season I can't afford to get that part going. I've read a ton and the suggestions about getting resin with the...

    Shallow End Possible?

    Is it possible to have a shallow end with a steps feature similar to how an inground is. I want a Salt Water compatible oval pool and with The Pool Factory the only smaller ones they have are 54" deep.

    More questions please - Easy drained almost all the way

    My easy set is near drained but I can't find a hose at a pool store to try to connect to a vaccuum head for a siphon method. I need some sort of vacuum contraption to suck any small green/brownish dust away and there is probably about 2 inches of water left. Are you guys saying that the little...

    Torquise/Cloudy water still after 3rd evening of SLAM

    Good evening. I have a small intex pool and I believe most would tell me to drain, clean and refill. I was REALLY trying to get the pool cleaned up without doing that but I'm losing hope. When I sweep after I guess it settles then I work up a green dust. This had been the same problem since...

    Ph 7.2 / TA 250 - what do I do?

    Can anyone help with how to address this? I obviously need to lower the TA but I don't want to mess with my what seems to be a perfect PH. After reviewing threads I see the product I was sold initially (Leslie's Dry Acid) doesn't come very recommended due to sulfates which stinks that I have a...

    Help! CC 8, FC 6.5 in a (don't laugh) 1050ish gallon Summer Waves latex

    Okay my pool is an easy set, 10FT x 30" (please don't laugh 😀. Before Rona we NEVER thought we'd own a pool well that changed to keep the kids cool this summer. And now we've decided this is our training pool. I have been trying to learn. So I don't just do anything I'm told by the pool store...
