    Changing out Hayward Color Logic?

    My pool was built in 2009 and the light that I'm assuming was originally installed at the time has finally died. (I bought the house in 2015) So again, assuming that a Hayward Color Logic lasted that long... :eek: Of course I'm pretty alarmed at the nearly $1,000 cost for a replacement light...

    Enough Time?

    Hey guys, Back in March I put down a deposit to get my in-ground pool liner replaced. What was supposed to take 2-3 weeks has now stretched out to nearly 3 months partly due to Covid-19 with the liner manufacturer warehouse shutting down to the company I picked probably not making me a...

    Backwashing milk?

    So I've been living the slam life after finding out my cya level disappeared. I was maintaining a level of 40 for the summer, but when my pool went green after the 4th and I was losing chlorine quick, I was shocked to see my cya registering zero.

Everytime I run the pool I notice that I would get sand on the pool floor. I made sure it was coming out of the filter by tying a sock around the return and sure enough...

    Getting sand in the pool

    So it seems that I'm getting sand in my pool. My robot cleaned the entire pool yesterday and I noticed there was sand in its filter. After running the pump overnight I came out to find the bottom of my pool was dirty again so it has to be sand. The pool installer told me that the sand hasn't...

    New Pool Owner with T-100 Test Results

    Hi, I have my pool finally opened and was able to do some test results. Just a FYI - I have some of Leslie's Conditioner in a sock in front of one of my returns. I put it out there this morning and it already seems like half is gone. With that being said here are my results: PH: 7.8 FC: .5...

    New pool owner

    Hi everyone, I've been a lurker on this site since I made an offer to buy a house back in March. I know nothing about pools, but I feel that I've learned more in the month or so that I've spent on this site and browsing the internet for additional information. You can see my pool info below...
