    What to look for when pool shopping (fiberglass pool) and things you wished you would have done from the start?

    After using the heck out of our little 6500gallon above ground pool we are shopping for in ground fiberglass. Other than finding a quality installer, what are some must haves or things we should really look into when getting quotes? Things I know we want.. deep end with diving board. SWG that...

    Can you get algae when your levels are good?

    Started up pool at beginning of April. Did a SLAM because it had turned to swamp. FC was 30 and CYA was 35 for SLAM. Held FC for 8 days. I let it drift down to fc of 6 and did the overnight loss test and it was 0. CC was 0. Pool was still a little cloudy, but it is a small sand filter (Green...

    Should a sand filter pick up everything?

    I have the dust like substance on the bottom of my pool. When I first noticed it I thought it was algae and tested my FC and CC and it was fine (3.5/0). Figured out it was like sediment (I do not know what else to call it). Pool had not been used for 4 or 5 days and all this had just settled to...

    PH does not want to go down below 7.4 when adding Muriatic acid..

    Just somewhat puzzled or curious about this. I know 7.4 is a good number... When I filled pool on 6/11 had TA 150 and PH 7.3. Followed the advice on here and did not add muriatic acid until PH was 8. PH was 8 on 7/7. Using the app/pool math 16oz of 34% Muriatic acid would bring me from 8 to...

    SWG - is the Intex brand good for a 6000 gal above ground pool?

    Was thinking of adding SWG. I currently use 25-30oz of 10% LC a day. Was looking at a Intex Krystal Clear™ Saltwater Pool Chlorine System - 15,000 Gal. I did find some really older posts on here that said they were decent systems. That system produces: Chlorine output 12g/hr. How do you convert...

    Can you add salt to chlorine pool to make water water feel softer?

    Found some older posts on here that talked about it. We have a water softener for the house would like to soften up the pool water a little. From what I read 1500 ppm would be a good number to shoot for? Or as a newbie am I better off staying away from it? Not looking to do a SWG. Pool is super...

    Couple of newbie questions on TA CYA, etc

    Newbie here - cool forum.. been reading a lot on here just had a few questions at the bottom of this post. Sorry for long post - trying to be thorough... We just put up a 12x22 Bestway 6000 gallon above ground pool (kind of a trial run... we hope to put in an in-ground in a couple years). It...
