I use liquid chlorine in my pool. I also have an off line chlorinator that I don't use. The 20x40 (35K gallon) pool is covered by a blue bubble tarp at night and most of the time when not in use (we have a reel for it so it's easy). I have kept my CYA low (30) as I know I have 2 vacations...

My PH is 7.2 and Alkalinity 110. I am trying to increase the PH with aeration. I tried several return fittings from Amazon that help with aeration but none fit correctly so I returned them. I have a 1/2 HP sump pump, I put it on one of the steps and put it on, it’s pushing the water up...

Hi, is this leak acceptable or is it something that needs to be taken care of this season (season ends in early Sep). Any suggestions on fixing it without replacing the plumbing? Thanks

Starting new thread, as now im more concerned about balancing the water to remove cloudiness: Pool was opened 5/17 (was totally green) and only shock was added by company. I left on business trip and got back yesterday, had another CO vacuum yesterday. Test results yesterday afternoon...

Two Part Question: So, when they opened up the pool, they set up the timer to 12 hours. I read online that 8-12 hours is ok. My pool has not had many issues and all I do is add liquid chlorine to PPM in accordance with CYA level. The chemistry has been good since I opened it in the middle...

It appears one of the skimmers suction/water flow is slower, but, when I put my hand down, the suction is strong (about the same as the other one). The hatch door seems to be operating normally. The water level was higher due to the massive rain recently (but now about 3/4 to the skimmer...

Hi, I have two skimmers in a 35K gallon pool with a DE6020 filter. Recently I noticed that when the filter starts up 8am, that in one of the skimmers there is a vortex, and then there are some bubbles on the return jets. I added some water and moved the flap and it resolves itself, I then...

Hi, I own a 20x40 9 vinyl unground pool li(about 35K gallons) that I acquired when I purchased the house in December. We live in Norther NJ, and the pool was maintained by a valet service with the previous owner. I had the pool opened professionally in early, but I have been maintaining it...
