I wash my limestone/travertine deck with 0.8 gal water + 0.2 gal 10% chlorine + 2oz dish washing liquid as the surfactant. Is there a better wash that will also get out the black algae in the crevices?

Quick question. What direction should the off position be? Water entering the valve or exiting?

Checking on if there is now a standard TFP users are using outside of the titration measuring? Pen type or permanent WiFi probe with app type at reasonable cost.

How do you deal with cobweb around your patio and especially for those that have screen enclosures? I've seen some 20-ft brushes selling on Amazon but with a lot of their products nowadays you can't depend on their feedback system for the real scoop. Advice and recommendations appreciated.

This sound developed. The PB has had a leak detection company investigating an elusive pool leak and I not this sound today. First time I've been to the equipment pad since the leak guy left on Friday. I don't know if it is related but this sound is not the normal silent whirring sound. Pool is...

I know this is probably more paranoia and not necessary. However being a new pool and new surface I just didn't want to throw the salt in and move it around on the surface. Anyway, bought two colanders from the dollar store, had a few stainless steel hardware around the garage and some shoe...

Is the ideal water level 1/2 way up the skimmer face? I was filling it just below the skimmer overflow but not sure if that is right.

Recommendations appreciated. Thanks.

Anything proven with a reasonable price? I got a non-direct sun location I plan to build an enclosure and counter and have the small refrigerator in there. I have a screen in pool area in Central Florida location. Some old threads mentioned some $100 non outdoor rated Danby that lasted a few...

The SALT-3050 mentioned it is calibrated up to 3000 ppm but for the IC60 says ideal is 3600 ppm, do you have to recalibrate to get to test at this higher level?

I've had great success with the PoolMath and following TFP since my new pool was filled about two months ago. I have an IC60 and would like to convert to using it. My pool is clear and balanced and a CSI today of 0.1. What is the method/procedures and best practice to do the conversion? Thx.

Anyone knows why the magicstream laminar manual and the Intellicenter2 app is not consistent for lighting modes/colors?

What is everyone using to keep their shellstone/travertine deck free of joint weeds and joint/surface algae without damaging the deck? My deck (majority not on concrete base) is on crushed road base and sand. Not sure grouting is a solution given this so may just need to treat and wash but not...

Looking for recommendations on non-wood material ground mount for solar collectors. I have a kit of Qty (10) 12'x4' and contemplating either a top 5/bottom 5 or straight 10 configuration. I've seen housing metal wall struts used in a video by the retailer. How have you built yours with...

I've seen some products with "other ingredients" on Amazon but was looking for something pure to increase calcium. I need 18lbs per PoolMath and Cal Hypo is expensive so going with pure calcium chloride and LC combo. PinchaPenny has this but are there other brands and products that are 100%...

Before I jump into getting a solar collector kit, what is the cost one should expect to pay for a durable quality 480 sq. Ft kit?

Moved from HERE PB sent a leak detection company over today and the guy scuba dive around the pool and said the leaks were around two of the four returns and epoxy it. We'll now wait and see. He also said evaporation this time of year should be close to zero.

Before I use up or break our glass kitchen measuring device or the markings get rubbed off from chemicals and before I go buy junk items or kill our postage scale, what is the go to and recommended items for: Pool brush Brush pole Measuring scale for chemicals Measuring container for chemicals...

Please look at my logs. I'm around 3-days short of Day 30 on a new plaster pebble pool. PoolMath is calling for 19 lbs of calcium. Is this the right time to add and bring that level up? I believe on startup this was to be kept low to aid in removing the plaster cream?
