    What to do for a freeze?

    Opened the pool a few weeks ago but it looks like I'll be getting a few hours of mid-to-high 20s tonight. I plan on running the pump over night. Is there anything else I should do to protect my system as much as possible? Thanks!

    When to replace pumps?

    The pool guys couldn't get my pumps to prime and said they're old and need replacing. I was able to prime the filter pump after they left, but not the waterfall. I just inherited this pool last year so I don't know how old they are, but they do look old. How can I tell if/when the pumps need...

    DE in pool?

    Hi All, While recharging my DE, I poured my DE slurry a little too quickly and some of spilled over the weir and into the pool. I estimate maybe about a half pound or so. Will this be a problem? And if so what should I do about it? Thanks! Matt

    Just got my kit

    I just received my kit and did the tests. Below are my values: FC 7 CC .5 pH 7.5/7.8 CH 75? I'm not sure how blue it needs to turn. It was a light blue TA 80? Again not sure how red. It was a light pinkish CYA 0? I don't know if I did something wrong here... The solution was clear. Filled the...

    First season as a pool owner... Quickly realizing I need a lot of help

    I'm completely new to pool ownership. Not sure where to even start, so apologies for my lack of knowledge. I have a saltwater pool which was just opened on Friday. It was very green initially but cleared up a bit after a few hours. However I noticed there was barely a change the next morning. I...
