Everything was fine until yesterday, today the water around the electrode is a dark cloudy greenish blue. I'm figuring I need to get it back to clear again. The water is testing fine and the water going into the pool is not this color. The valve going to the electrode is also full if clear...

I adore how easy my pool is to maintain and a friend is wanting to get a 22x52 intex with the same type of set up. So first question is what SWG pump system would best meet her pool needs? She has several grandchildren that will use it often, and she is a grandma, so the less maintenance...

I'm sure not looking forward to cleaning the 3 feet of murky mess that is my pool in order to open it in a couple weeks. Maybe you will have some tips to make it easier? The cover got blown into it and frozen. And frankly, I sorta hibernate for winter. Today was maybe the second or third time I...

That stringy brown stuff on the bottom? And what, if anything, should I do about it?

I go out and skim and take a look at the pool every morning and test the water roughly 3-4 times a week. About every other day or two. Yesterday the water chemistry was perfect. Son didn't know I tested it yesterday and tested it this morning. It is very high PH. I retested and sure enough...

I'm thinking either this one: http://www.amazon.com/Skooba-Vacuum-int ... B001RPRXNO I've had my pool up and in near constant use for 3 weeks without a vacuum and it does not look anything even remotely like that picture! Yikes! There's just a bit of dust settling in a few spots on the...

I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the phone saying, "I have no idea what you are saying." trying to speak to the off shore tech support at Intex. Very, very frustrating to spend 20 minutes on the phone with a gal who could not understand my English when I said "plunger valve" and kept...

Okay. Pool is now level. Pump is going full throttle. Water is kind of a cloudy green. I have the $90 test kit. Not sure what to do with it though. Sigh. I've got my swg running on a boost. I put in 3 40lb bags of salt, I have another that I can add, but I was told its better to wait...

Ugh. I'm sorta freaking. We spent days upon days leveling the dirt, then more leveling and tamping 2 tons of sand. I honestly do not think we can get it more level. I filled it about a foot deep before it started suddenly storming yesterday. This morning there's a gradual sloping to a "deep"...

I don't have any sort of vacuum cleaner for our newly set up pool and given the numbers using it daily, I figure I better hurry up and fix that. Any recommenations? I plan to be in it daily and figure running a vac on the bottom will be the same free therapy as pulling weeds. ;) Is there...

Hello all! We are wanting to purchase our first pool and we want to be sure we do it right to get the most fun and use out of it. As per the sticky note, I listed the info I know that might help you help me. This pool will get nearly daily use. I suspect if it isn't raining, there will be...
