Hi Everyone, I’m having a new liner installed next week and after filling the pool with a garden hose, when do I add salt? Everything I’ve researched through the forms or internet sounds like I should balance the pool first (PH, alkalinity, FC, CYA etc) then add salt last. Is that correct?

Hi everyone, This was our first winter with a pool. We used a company to close the pool but when took the fitted cover to measure the liner (being replaced in 5-6 weeks) the pool was green. The weather is still a little cool between 53 during the day and 33 at night. Pool is not open...

Hi guys, First time pool owner and I have a question regarding the pool pump. I turned off my power to the pool shed (new house ensuring everything works). When turning of the power it turned off all the equipment (filter, pump and heater). Before turning it back on I read a sign on the pump...
