Hi, I don't know where to post this so I'll do it here. I ordered a safety cover for my pool this year (3 x 3 high density mesh). I felt it was the right thing to do after my old vinyl cover was getting old and I had some issues with it last winter. I was also tired of the swamp that is...

Hi there, I was planning on doing an initial drain of my pool cover as it is quite full. With the COVID-19 situation here (Ontario, Canada), my local Home Depot is closed and I can't rent a submersible pump to drain my cover as I have done in prior years. I noticed this morning that my pool...

Hi I recently broke the spigot I use on my chlorine jug to pour the chlorine. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? The spigot screws into the cap of the jug. I am in Canada. Thanks!

Hi there, I need to know where I can purchase the wedge anchor for my ladder. Somehow during the winter, the wedge came out from the bolt and I noticed this odd shaped thing on my patio but not knowing what it was I tossed it!!! So stupid!! I went to install my ladder for the first time by...

I have a Hayward Self Priming 3/4 horse power pump. The pump is not on a timer or anything. To save on hydro, I usually manually shut if off each morning before I go to work (unless it's going to be super hot and then I keep it running). My issue is this: after being shut off for a few hours...

Hi, I had my pool closed thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. I've been meaning to post for some time but I didn't have a chance. Anyways, my pool guy only opens and closes my pool as I do all the maintenance and water balancing myself. I had cleaned the pool and done a backwash and cleaned...

So I need to re shingle my roof. I was thinking of waiting until I closed my pool as I don't want to risk all that debris and nails in the pool. However, if I close it, I am worried about my pool cover getting damaged and possibly torn (I have a soft winter cover). Anyone have any experience...

This weekend I will be away for approximately three days. I am leaving Friday morning coming back late Sunday night. I am not sure what to do in terms of keeping the pool up and running while I am gone. I don't want to shut off the pump for three days as the pool will get filthy so I plan to...

We have had so much rain in the last two days that I have an extra two inches of water on my pool. So much that the weir door isn't working properly. So I need to drain water. But can I drain the water without doing a backwash? If so let me know!

I am constantly getting dirt in the deep end of my pool and keeping it clean now is becoming a losing battle. I have a Hayward Automatic Vac that I am using every few days to clean up the dirt and sometimes I use the manually vac. Should I be using the automatic vac or the manual vac? I...

Hi My Ph is 7.8 which is not high but I would like to lower it a little. Should I use MA or some PH down which I have from last year? I read pool chemistry which says I should use dry ice or PH down. Any help would be great!

I just did a backwash on my pool as we have had so much rain in the last few days. I have rinsed my sand filter and cleaned out my pump basket. I replaced the water in my pump basket and closed the lid and put the system back on filter. When I do that all I get are air bubbles out of the jets...

So I have a Hayward Automatic Chlorinator which I want to disconnect. It is currently plumbed into my one of my main pipes (PVC). How can I disconnect it and plug up the hole? Is there another method? I want to use liquid chlorine only and I want to stop with the chlorinator. Currently I...

Hi. So I am new to this method. My ex used to take care of the water chemistry but now it's up to me. My pool is a vinyl liner irregular shaped pool. My pool people hooked up my automatic chlorinator which I wNt to disconnect. So I tested my water today and here are my numbers. CYA 90 ppm. PH...

Hi, I am a 2 year old pool owner but I have never had to take care of the water chemistry before. My soon to be ex did all that. He used to use the "BBB" method and I want to continue to do so as the water was always clean and great and we never had any issues. I have done my research but...
