My pool is one year old. Last June I cleaned the filter really well after only a month or so because there was a lot of scale due to excessive pH spikes because the folks breaking in the pool did a poor job. The pressure has never changed from 20 PSI and I was told the filter wouldn't require...

This is my first time having a pool during the off-season months. Any recommendations on how long I should run the pump? I ran the pump for nine hours during the season and plan on doing so until the leaves drop. I was going to drop the run time to about six hours during the Winter. Thanks!

Hello, as the winter approaches and SWGs stop producing chlorine, I will need to purchase liquid chlorine. With the understanding Chlorine has a short shelf life, where should I shop for chlorine? Lowes is cheaper that Leslie's, but I'm thinking Leslie's chlorine may have a shorter shelf life...

So, this will be my first winter with my pool. I'm a little concerned about keeping it open; however, I've been told most of the folks around here (Charlotte) do so. I was told Aqualink's Freeze Protection setting will kick on at the set temperature (38 degrees default), and will run in pool...

Hello, it is my understanding that SWG (Jandy PLC1400) systems stop producing chlorine at around 53 degrees. Does the chlorine producing percentage need to be dropped to 0% when this happens? Is there any harm leaving the percentage set at current level (29%) through Fall/Winter. Thank you.

1) My Pebble Tec pool is just over 3 months old and my Zodiac MX8 Elite is having trouble climbing walls for the past few weeks. It is connected to my vacuum line and I believe there is good suction, as I have the pool drain barely open and nothing else has changed. I cleaned it out, but it...

Long story short, I bought an eSeasongear Salt-3050 meter and their 3000ppm calibration fluid, as I was looking for a reliable tester for my new saltwater pool. The meter runs a little higher (100-200 ppm) than my AquaLink system and about 200ppm higher versus local pool store tests. My...

So, I am aware of the calcium fading endpoint issue when testing CH using a Taylor K-2006 kit, but my tests start out purplish, not red, and finish blue. Is that an indication of small traces of copper or iron as well? If so, should I be concerned? Thanks, Greg

Is there a solid form of unstablized chlorine? Once temperatures drop below 60 degrees, and I need to shut-off my salt cell, I'll need to add chlorine manually. Instead off adding liquid chlorine, I'd like to use a solid form in a float feeder, but I do not want to use a stabilized form of...

Test results using Taylor K2006 kit... pH: 7.6 FC: 6.5/7.0 CC: 0 TA: 65/70 CH: 215 CA: less than 30 (around 20) Temp: 90 Salt: 3100/3200 I plan on keeping the pool opened throughout the year. I lowered my SWG from 12hrs/63% to 12hrs/33% to bring FC down to 3.0/4.0. I plan on bringing my CH...
