I see that the Air Supply Cyclone blower is kind of the go-to for this job, but the $350 price tag is a bit much for something that I'll use for 5 minutes a year. I don't have a massive amount of height to blow this water, only a few feet. I've tried it with my shop vac before and was able to...

Opened the pool last week so it's time for my yearly post. Everything was going well and on the second morning the water got milky. At first I thought it was DE. I turned the filter off to let things settle...and they never did. I took the filter apart to inspect the grids and I found a tiny...

I just purchased a new home and this is my first pool to play with. I had a local company come and open the pool for me on Wednesday the 11th. They told me not to touch the pool for the first week, just let the filter run 24x7. Well, my TFT test kit came yesterday, the 14th, so I decided to...
