Hey guys, I was out of country when my swg broke, so I texted my wife to have my son run to neighboring dairy to pick up a few gallons of chlorine to treat a pool that had 15 plus swimmers that day with zero FC according to her. He came home and dumped in three gallons. They texted me that...

Should a clean sand filter have the same pressure on backwash as it does on recirculate. I am helping friends slam, and the filter pressure is barely increasing...I am wondering if the sand is just not as effective as my DE filter? I added DE to the sand once yesterday and raised it 1 psi...

I thought I bought two bottles of proteam metal magic today..brought them home and had one of my sons go pour them in the pool for metal control...turns out the second bottle behind the first on the shelf was Phosaway. Now my pool is cloudy mess! What do I need to do now? Monkeylove

Any new products on the market for plugging skimmer? I have a autocover that I like to leave supported in snow load during winter. My observation is everyone I know who lowers water below skimmer ends up replacing cover in 5 years....I am hoping for double. I tried the simpooltech plug two...

What happens if you use proteam metal magic at high FC? I have been slamming my pool for 4 days and the was surprised with how clear my water was and how high my chlorine demand was, and suddenly overnight I have a tea colored pool. I think I must have been oxidizing some sequestrant that the...

Hey guys and gals, I had the local pool guys close our pool today and stuck around to watch them in hopes of saving myself a couple hundred bucks every year by closing it myself. It looks really easy with the right equipment. I think I can handle everything they did on my own with the right...

Has anyone ever bought a cover from a company called PCS (pool cover specialists)? They have a cover called Powertrac that uses a cordless drill to move the cover that I am interested if anyone has experience with. Thanks MonkeyLove

Hey guys, I am wondering about this valve, I assume it controls where water is being drawn to the pump from. I assume that one line is attached to my two skimmers and the other line goes to my main drain. I am having trouble making out the writing on the valve, all I really want to know is...

Guys and Gals, I have a Rule pool cover pump, the one with the handle on the top. I pulled it off last week when the weather dropped below freezing, then put it back out today now that we are thawing out. My question is can I leave it out all winter in Chicago type weather. A quick Google of...

I am a first time pool owner, but with the help of this forum, my new test kit and many gallons of bleach I was able to turn our newly inherited 30000 IG liner pool into a sparkling oasis. It was a black swamp of death when we first opened it. With my new found confidence I set out to help a...
