I can add a foam away product but it is only temporary. What should I be doing? What am I doing wrong?

We've had our pool for 4+ years now. Something strange is happening this summer, though. The liner is faded badly, but only right along one seam on the liner. So if it was from the sun or from dumping chlorine in, etc. I wouldn't expect it to fade perfectly right along one seam. I have to...

We had a nice windstorm rip through Northern Indiana this early AM. It sent my trampoline airborne, and it crashed into the side of the pool (and subsequently flipped over the pool and up against my fence). It was 4AM and still quite dark, so I couldn't get a good survey of any damage, but I...

Last year I had a guy come out and close the pool because it was the first year I had a heater installed. I was afraid I would not winterize it properly. Not to mention, it's a pain in the rear to close it, and I was just too busy. At any rate, it's supposed to be 85 degrees here by Thursday...

So we had a heater installed a couple of months ago. Last year, I closed the pool myself. It wasn't too bad. But now I have the added complexity of the heater. I know I need to drain it by removing a drain plug. And I should blow it out (how? not sure). What do you need to do to make sure the...

I have a cartridge filter. I've noticed that it seems that every time I vacuum my pool, I think I have it all clean and then the next morning it seems like it I never cleaned it. We've had a lot of cottonwood, and I spent some time this weekend taking the cartridge out and getting a lot of gunk...

The water itself is crystal clear, but it seems like every couple days when I am vacuuming that in the corners where the wall meets the floor of the pool, I'm getting like a yellowish film on the bottom of the pool. When I run the vacuum over it, it seems to stay put but if I give it a little...

I'm a little confused on what to do around my above ground pool. I have a 24' AGP with a deck on about 1/4 of it. I'm looking for a pretty simple solution. After we had it installed in late July last year, we didn't have the funds or the time really to do anything to make it looked "finished"...

So this was my first opening after having the pool installed last summer. Pulled everything out of the garage and hooked it all back up. Pulled the cover. Had to vacuum the bottom for about a half hour but otherwise the water was clear blue! Got my trusty Meijer concentrated bleach and poured...

Any luck with these for anybody? I have a composite deck off the back of the house meeting the AGP in the back yard. Was thinking about lighting, and have seen some post cap solar powered LEDs on the interwebs, but am wondering if anyone has specific experience or feedback on which ones to use...

So this is my first year of pool ownership. I've actually enjoyed getting to learn about all of the chemistry and maintenance items for the pool. This forum has been extremely helpful in that regard. But one thing is confusing the heck out of me with closing procedures for the cold winter...

New pool this summer. 24 ft round. I just got my TF-100 test kit and was eager to see where my levels were. I've so far been flying pretty blind other than testing chlorine and pH with my wal-mart test kit I got for $6. I think I'm a bit light on FC, and I'm a little worried about CC. Any...
