I have a couple of photos to show you. Yesterday my pool was clean. Today I wake up to find this black stuff floating on the top of the water in my pool here in southern Florida. The water is very clean and the chemicals are well balanced. So why would I be getting this growth on the surface of...

Here is a way to determine how long it will take your heater to heat your pool water, and how much it will cost you if you are using an electric heater. This of course won't tell you how much it costs to keep the temp at a certain level once warm, but it will give you an idea as to how long it...

Split off of this topic. Durk Quote: "1500 watts is what the pump draws. So, in one hour, it uses 1500 watt-hours, or 1.5 kwh". ________________________________________ Where did you get the info that a single speed 1.0 HP electric pool pump motor uses 1,500 watts per hour?

I have a 9 year old 9,000 gal in-ground pool in my backyard here in Florida. I have a problem that has gotten worse and worse over the last year ... The problem is the Hayward C1200 cartridge type pool filter. I just cant get the top section separated from the bottom section anymore. It has a...

About a week ago I was at the local pool supplies store when some lady walked in and told of her problems to one of the sales guys. It appears that she has an in-ground gunite pool with green algae and now cloudy water on top of that. She was there to buy more chemicals. Seems she has been...

I just ordered and recieved a new Zodiac "Baracuda MX8" suction cleaner from Pool Supply World. This is a replacemt for a worn-out Hayward Navigator suction cleaner. I would like to say that the MX8 seems to be a better cleaner overall. It moves around the pool much better and does not stay in...

Got a question for you ... I have Kool-Deck installed around my in-ground pool and on the ajoining covered patio in my house in southern Florida. My house is 9 years old and I really don't like the looks of the Kool-Deck. I am thinking that I might consider having those thin pavers installed...

I have a 10,000 gal. in-ground gunite pool (non-salt water) here in southern Florida. I am seriouisly thinking about not using my pool service and just maintaining the pool myself. I have been doing some internet reading and am thinking the following pool water tester might be pretty good for...
