I am in the midst of a NIGHTMARE experience with a contractor and am starting to worry that the problems are even worse than I initially realized. BACKGROUND The February 2021 Texas storm damaged our flagstone coping — moisture penetrated the stone and then froze so as soon as the temperature...

I've got a Hayward T-Cell-15 with a Hayward Pro Logic panel. Both are original to the pool (which is five years old). I've been getting intermittent "low salt" readings on the panel but chlorine production has seemed normal so far this season so I figured that the readings were the result of...

On Sunday evening we had a very heavy rainstorm (6 inches in less than a hour), resulting in some debris washing into our pool. I have vacuumed up all the mulch and grass but the water is still cloudy from mud. I am in the process of SLAMing the pool and therefore have the SWCG turned off, but...

This is our first summer with a pool and we are eager to extend our swimming season as long as possible. We've got a 12 mil solar blanket that is on the pool any time we are not swimming and our water temperature was 88 degrees last night. That will change soon, however, I'm sure as the ambient...

Earlier today I noticed that my filtration system wasn't running. I went to my control panel and found that the breaker on my pump was tripped. I switched it back on and when I pressed "filter" on my control panel the pump restarted. Ten minutes later it was off again (and the circuit breaker...

Hello there. I hope someone can offer me some ideas. I've got over 40 feet of deck drain that discharges water into a relatively flat part of my yard. Although we have not yet laid sod there, the drain comes out in an area that we intend to be grass. The area becomes a mucky puddle after hosing...

...and now we have an infestation of Biblical plague proportions. I think that this is our problem: Ants Prefer Salt over Sugar On Tuesday evening I noticed a few ants near one of our skimmers. Last night (Wednesday) there were tens of thousands of them EVERYWHERE, rendering our deck and pool...

Not sure if this is the area to post this question or not. I've got three kids who have pretty much been in the pool continuously since it was finished about a month ago (that's an exaggeration, of course, they probably are in the water 2-3 hours a day). All of them have been struggling with...

I am preparing for my first vacation since I have become a pool owner. I have a petsitter who will be coming to my house on a daily basis. She's a reliable person who will carry out any instructions I leave her. I anticipate that the pool will be used minimally (if at all) while I'm gone (I've...

Hello, I am new here and have a brand new pool. To this point the only thing that has been done to my pool water is trichlor tablets while the plaster was curing and 480 pounds of salt added by the pool contractor about a week ago when they turned on the SWCG. I want to start this out right...

Hello there. This evening I noticed that two (out of eight) of my returns have a constant stream of bubbles coming from them. One return has small bubbles, the other has teeny tiny bubbles (so small that it just looks like the water is cloudy). Everything else seems normal. What could be causing...

I have a brand new pool, just finished earlier this month. After my pool was filled I noticed a spot about the size of the palm of my hand (on the floor in the deep end of the pool) that is significantly lighter in color than the rest of the pool. The plaster crew started filling my pool...

Hello. I am brand new to this forum and to pool ownership. I'm so glad to join you here. Details on my equipment are in my signature below. Before my contractor installed my SWCG I expressed concern that our pool volume was just below the 25,000 gallons that that cell is rated for. He...
