I recently switched from liquid chlorine to HTC Cal Hypo shock since I am not around as much this summer to add liquid twice a day. Initially I had good results, with 1lb lasting almost a week. Recently I have been using a pound every other day. Is this normal for a shock to burn off that...

I have a Jandy variable speed pump and run it at 3000 rpm from 930-6 daily in the spring-fall. How low can I go in the winter? I think last year, which was my first winter I did 2700rpm for about 6 hrs a day, but I have read some things where people go down under 2000 rpm...

This is my first winter with the pool and we are supposed to have some record low freezing temps over the next few days. Is there anything I should be worried about with the pool/equipment? My freeze protection will keep the pump running. Wondering if there is anything else? Thanks

I just decided to cancel my pool service since I noticed I was paying $90 a month for about $10 worth of chemicals. I am starting this month to balance myself and was curious if my plan is correct. I watched them last summer and it seems like I need 3 things. Chlorine tabs, shock and muriatic...
