So, I'm pretty sure that my heater is designed not to work when the ambient outdoor temperature is below a certain point (not sure of that temp) but it has been 65 degrees out and my water temperature is at 58 degrees so it should be working but it is not. It starts up, runs through a 3-minute...

My pool is inside a screened lanai so there is little to no debris getting in (other than pollen during season). I have been vacuuming and cleaning skimmer (which also has a sock) on a weekly basis. I feel like I am wasting my time vacuuming so often. Is there a reason that I am not aware of or...

So, I am not planning on closing my pool as I am in SC and I have a heater. Pool was first put into service this past February at which time PB ran the NST feeder until the temps warmed up enough to start up the salt cell. My question is do I just turn off the salt cell and leave it connected...

Is there a correct way to open and empty the skimmer basket on the pump (pictures attached) after vacuuming? I turn the pump off but the lid is still very tight (pressure). Once off the water drops and I am nervous about turning the pump back on with low water. Should any of the valves be off or...

Hey all, so I just received my K2006-C test kit and want to take over maintenance myself. This is the first season for our new pool and while the water is crystal clear we do notice some burning in the eyes. My first shot at testing seems like some corrections are needed. So free & combined...

Hey all, still a little ways out from starting our pool build and read about a sacrificial anode being a good option for salt pools. Any thoughts or product recommendations would be appreciated.

Hey all, still getting quotes on new pool and have some questions. This is my first experience with a pool so trying to get an understanding of everything. I'm in Hilton Head, SC and pool is going to be a small (4800 gal) inground design. Equipment quoted so far: Pentair Intelliflo variable...
