This is likely a dumb question....but I am assuming I would turn the pump off once it gets close to the bottom of the skimmer level right? My system is a flooded unit (equipment is below the pool)
Hi....I saw someone else post about this a few years ago but that thread is closed and I didn't see a resolution. I am baffled by this. Pool is only a year old. This year I have noticed this oily residue in the morning after I open the cover. We have our nephews over a lot so my wife and I just...
Hi folks,
I have a solid cover on for the winter. My pool builder told me to remove the pump when it freezes. However I have talked to other people who leave theirs on all throughout the winter no matter what. What is best practice?
In my neck of the woods right now, the highs are in the low...
Hello....I was told my pool company was coming to close my pool today and that I should lower the water level below the skimmer line. So I did that yesterday. I turned off the skimmer valve and then today I just kept the pump off since I assumed they would be here but they never came. I am...
In 3 days, my chlorine level has gone from 5.5 to 8.5. The chlorinator was running at 50% that whole time. Only thing different is we had our autocover on for almost two full days. Do you think that is the reason for the increase? Should I set the chlorinator to run at a lower percentage on days...
Still new to this. Using Taylor kit.
FC- 5.5
PH- 7.7
TA- 80
CYA- 30
CH- 230
Salt- 2960

I want to get the calcium to 350. Pool math says add 20 lbs of calcium chloride.
I want to get the CYA to 60. Pool math says to add a gallon and 2 quarts of liquid stabilizer.
Am I good getting...
Hello....with temps dipping into the 50's some nights and having some people over this weekend, we are testing out the heat pump for the first time. I've got the Hayward Summit XL 140k. Roughly 18,400 gallon pool.
To determine how long it will take to heat up, am I correct to use this...
Is there a way to log your results without confirming that you added anything? For example if PH is off by .2 but it is within range, I am not going to add a few teaspoons or whatever. I can't figure out how to just save my numbers....
Having some problems here. A little over 2 months since our fill and I think we have algae forming? My chlorine is super high and total alk is low. I am not sure what to do. We've only had to add muriatic acid to lower the PH so far. Last week I had our pool company out to clean and put a...
Hi...
So we had salt introduced yesterday. Started noticing bubbles coming out of both wall returns and one of the floor returns. First thing I thought was the water might be a tad low so I added about an inch. The bubbles then went away. But we noticed them again about 3 hours later. Texted...
Hi folks....new pool here. Filled about a month ago. The auto cover was installed last week, while we were on vacation. We discovered the PB uilt the bay 2 inches wider than it should've been (the guys doing the work must've been under the impression that we had larger coping). So we have this 3...
Hello...we're in the first week here. Pool company set the filter schedule and today was the first day for it. It's 8-2 at 100% and then 2-8 on 50%.
It came on at 8am as scheduled--however the home page and filter pump section on app did not reflect that it was on until 9am. My wife set up the...
Greetings
My wife and I just had a salt water pool put in. The plaster was poured Thursday and it was filled yesterday. The PB is coming back in a few days to put the chemicals in. We signed up for a first month service they provide where all we have to do is brush it a couple times a day and...
