Hi All, We had our vinyl IG pool built in 2013. There are 2 things I now regret not having done during the build. I didn't get a pool light, and I didn't get deck jets. Both I didn't go with, due to cheapness, and now I regret it. I especially regret not getting the pool light. Just...

A few weeks ago I noticed a white flakey substance on the surface of my tub. I have since drained the tub and had to use my power washer and vinegar to clear the flakes. In error, the other day I added too much MA when balancing my water and my PH took a dive. So I have started to add Borax...

Ive had my hot tub for about 10 months now. We initially used the chemicals that came with SPA. When they ran out, we changed the water and went BBB. My first issue was that I couldnt seem to keep FC in the tub. Numbers would be in spec in regards to FC/CYA, but after a quick soak or a few...

Hi, Ive been going through the acid/aeration process this afternoon and Ive finally got my PH/TA numbers where I want them. My CH is still a little low so Ill be adding some CH increaser in the very near future. My question is, should the water clarity be a little off directly after the...

Hi, I now have 2 patches on my shallow end floor about 6 inches from each other. I did not have have any left over liner so I used the patch kit sold at leslie. This was my first time dealing with this kind of repair, and Im really not all that happy with the results. I was thinking that...

Since having my 16x32 Vinyl IG pool installed last year, Ive started noticing little things in other pools I see. On about 80% of the pools I see, the concrete pool decking around the pool will have what I think are called, slab dividers, installed. They are usually wood or white vinyl strips...

Hi, I just got around to replacing my control board on my Hot Spot Relay. The original was damaged during a lightning storm. The board has been changed and the tub powers on. Everything except the LED lighting appears to be in working order. I can no longer turn off the lights from the...

My liner on my 16x32 IG pool floated during the off season. I have since had the water pumped out, and lucky for me the liner simply went back into place. Ive been trying to figure why/how this happened, as I never had this issue during the pool season. During the off season I didnt close the...
