Just got a new house last year with a pool. The ladder has these white deposits on them that look like little beads. I'm assuming they are calcium since last year my CH was 210 and they were there when I got the house, so no telling how long they have been there. This year I got a new liner...

I kind of went through this on another post, but think this is the better place for it. First of all, I just got a new liner in last week and after I got it filled and turned on the pump, I noticed that the skimmer was leaking on the outside when the pump was on, but wouldn't leak when it was...

I am having a new liner put in and have looked for instructions on how to bring the water up to specs. If there is already a post like this, please point me in the right direction. It would also be nice if there was a sticky or something in Pool School. I know how to check the water, but I...

How can you convince your Wife, GF, Husband, BF, etc. that BBB is safe? I have brought up using Bleach to my GF and she freaks out thinking it would be bad for the pool and offers to pay for the Pool Store Chemicals. She talked to her mom, who had a pool years ago and her mom said that bleach...

What would be great is a mobile website. i.e. http://www.troublefreepool.mobi that has an interface with links to the calculator, cl/cya charts, and other charts information that is standard for all pool owners. You could also name it m.troublefreepool.com, since you already have...

I have a 24 round 4' aboveground pool. Heyward Sand Filter and pump. I live near Kansas City, MO. Today after reading on this site, I went and got a Leslie's "Complete Poolcard DPD Test Kit". I took my first reading at around 2pm. If I did everything correct, they were: FC 3...
