Hi.. Thanks for helping me over my 20 years of pool ownership! I think I have a very chlorine resistant form of pink algae. I slam, brush and pass the test and then a day later the pink haze comes back, bigger. Started with two small 6 inch areas. Yesterday, it was spread over the shallow end...

I thought I was draining the water from the pipes, when in fact I was draining the water from the pool!! Overnight!! Forgot to close the floor return lines! I now have only three inches of water in shallow end of my 40,000 gallon pool. It has a deep, normally 10 ft deep end. Do I need to...

After months of fighting then working through wrong size filter, cloudy water and leaks, I enjoyed a beautiful morning of sparkling clear water, a Sunday with family in the pool. Wonderful, yes! :) THEN I put outdoor bleach concentrate (sent hubby to buy & he puchased wrong kind) in my pool...

Hello.... I Had a new Jandy CL350 filter installed only a week last August when a major pool leak reared its ugly self. The Cartridge filter filled with air from the leak, making the unit not as efficient, I was told. ...Not that the unit was sized improperly. To get through this year's start...

Hi everyone... I have several questions, which may be related. Opened my pool to see so much algae, the water was black. This is my first opening using my 2006k testing kit, pool calculator and liquid bleach as my shocking agent.... Incredible! Good news. It working at a fraction of the cost...

I have maintained a 40,000 gallon pool for 15 years, taking pride and pleasure in sparkling water. It is a 50 year old concrete pool, which I had rehab with new lines, skimmers and a D.E. Nautilus 48, filter to name a few replacements, about 12 years ago. Three weeks ago, my Nautilus filter...
