Long story short, got busy and forgot to winterize the pool. All pipes are above ground and burst/cracked. Am I right to assume my heat pump is also toast?

Hi all, Does anyone have suggestions on where to buy Taylor reagents in Canada? I think piscines-apollo is out of business? Their website doesn't work anymore. Thanks.

Hi all, I have an AquaPro PRO1100 heat pump connected to my Intex pool. The pool will be removed for the winter soon and I'm wondering what to do about the heat pump. It doesn't have a drain plug but I assume if I remove the current connections to the unit it will drain. Should I still blow...

Hi all, I have a small pool (1500 gallons) so I don't need much when adjusting pH. I was thinking of just buying HTH ph down which I assume is some kind of solid acid? How would I go about storing this long term? Is its shelf life longer than muriatic acid? Same question for borax, what's...

Hi all, I'm looking at installing the aquapro PRO1100 heat pump and had a question regarding the circuit required. From the specs it uses only 26 amps. So why do they recommend a 50 amp circuit? If I could run it as 30 amps it would be much cheaper since I have about 80ft of cable to run. If...

Hi all, I wondering how much the size of a pool would affect heat loss overnight? Currently I have a 12' Intex that is 30" deep, approximately 1500 gallons. At the end of July the peak daily temperature was 33* and dropped to 28* the next morning. This was with a solar blanket. I was...

Hi all, I was just wondering if it would be possible to heat the pool water with a regular tankless water heater used in homes? I was thinking I could just plumb it with the correct valves to either heat house water or the pool and use the pool pump to pump the water through the heater. What...

Hi all, I was wondering what was the easiest way to connect a sunquest solar pool heater to an Intex 1.5"? I have a 12'x30" metal frame with 2800 gph sand filter. Now I want to attach the solar heater but I'm not sure how. I've read a lot of posts but my head is spinning. Please help! Thanks.

Hi all, I was thinking of buy a couple 2'x20' solar panels and just placing them on the ground beside the pool. Is it okay to do this? I have about 5' on one side between the fence and pool and would put it there. I was also thinking of building a small triangle box so I could put maybe...

Hi all, I just setup my 12' metal frame Intex pool last weekend. It's been great so far but I have a few questions. 1. I added some cyanuric acid (HTH stabilizer) on the weekend but when I do tests now I still get a reading of 0. Now I'm only using HTH 6 way test strips as I haven't found...
