We went with the Tahoe Blue Quartzscapes after our pool company praised it. My fear was a bad renovation costing me $6k, and now my fears have been realized. They want to force the rest of the contract due and I'm certainly not happy. Imgur: The magic of the Internet There is one circular...

10.5 gallon pool, options are quartz or level 1 pebblesheen. I was really expecting this to be about $2k less that what's quoted.

So I believe this timer switch just went out on me. Now my pool pump is stuck in the on position and manually hitting the switch on this timer doesn't work. I noticed it's not an expensive part - only about $70 online. Is this something I could replace myself? I assume I hit the breaker, and...

So lately, I've been getting more and more bubbles at start-up. Today I found a air leak when the pump is turned OFF right where the pressure gauge is at. I'm going to have my tech look at it this weekend, but until then, should I run the pump continuously? I don't want it to get so bad where...

Just noticed I ran out of Chlorine in my inline Tri-chlor feeder. FC @ 0, pH at 8.0. Added bleach to bring it to 2.0, added tabs. Should I give it a day before I drop acid in to drop the pH?

Inline feeder. I had the dial set to 3ppm. So when I checked it again this morning, the tabs were still in there (no major degradation that I could see) and the Chlorine level today at .2ppm. I added a couple more tabs just to fill up the canister, and dialed it to 3.5ppm today. I put my ear...

Hi all. My pool is operating just fine, but today I noticed a whole glob of dead earthworms. They're pretty large, at least 4-6" each, and only in one of four of the main drains in the center of my pool. I'm assuming this is nothing to be worried about, but what do I do about it?

New home fellas, inherited a pretty old heater. It hasn't worked reliably since I bought the house. So far, I've: 1. Ran high pressure gas over, installed a regulator at the unit. Previous tech said line wasn't getting enough pressure. Probably good I did this anyway, even though it didn't...

First pool, was SLAM'd (assuming) prior to this purchase at the end of Sept., so FC levels have always been high. They've come down, but they're still really high. Am I doing the right thing here? Should I add chemicals to lower the FC level? Current condition: Clear, looks gorgeous, no...

Hey guys, pics of my pool in my sig. We're getting lots of rain right now, and I thought the pool would manage the water level itself but it's dangerously close to over flowing. (rain still coming!) Do you see any indication from the pictures I've posted of a method of draining the pool? I...

Brand new to pools, so learning a bunch (and very overwhelmed), but here's the story. I bought my home on 9/30, and a week later took my water sample to Texsun Pool to get analyzed. They were stunned at the Chlorine level, and we eventually found out that there was an algae bloom and the pool...
