I have been trying to clear my pool for over a week, since 7/2. Here is my timeline: 1) Came home from a week vacation on the 1st. Water was clear but there was a lot of tree gunk and some green on the bottom. 2) The next morning, I tested the water. FC=3.5, CC=0, CYA=25. 3) The water...

For those of you on the east coast that have a Shoprite nearby, the Shoprite Ultra bleach, 96oz bottle, is on sale this week, 10 for $10. I plan on stocking up. BBBer's unite!....lol.

I saw a couple posts asking where the Liquidator can be purchased. There is an east coast vendor, www.poolandspawarehouse.com. They are located in NY. Their prices are a bit higher, but TFP supporters get a discount. They also carry the 4g model. Just an FYI.

So, I am trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger and replace my working single speed pump with a 2 speed to save some money on my electric bill. I currently have a 1HP single speed Waterway pump with an AO Smith motor. I usually run it for 12hrs/day, 2 cycles of 6hrs, but this year...

I just called Hasa to find out if I could purchase replacement parts from them. Definitely needed an infloat assembly (had to use crazy glue to glue it back together last year) and wanted an out float assembly and a new flow meter, just in case. The nice lady took my order over the phone and...

Ummm, what was he mixing????? :scratch: Update: Kids, adults sickened by chlorine at pool by The Jersey Journal Tuesday August 05, 2008, 2:23 PM About 12 kids and camp supervisors from a Jersey City Recreation Department program were evacuated from the Lincoln High School pool with...

We recently had our backyard landscaped, so I thought I would share a few photos. I am glad to have it done because I hated the gravel/dirt that surrounded the pool. It made it unpleasant to use and hard to keep the yard clean. Not to mention, it was downright ugly. :wink: We still have...

I have a complaint. My complaint is that the Glowbuoy works too well!! Let me give you some background. I put a nice size hole at the end of last season, so in April, we had our liner replaced. It was the only week in April when the temperature was above 60. It took 3 days to fill up the...

Well, I hooked my liquidator up last weekend. Wasn't able to do some testing until later in the week because it rained most of the week. I noticed that the bleach level was not going down. Well, CL level is 0 and remained 0 even when I tested the water directly from the return. There is...

Last year I put a hole in my liner at the end of the season. DH was about to finally stop the leak with some waterproof tape, but we knew the liner would need to be replaced for this year. There is about a foot of water in the pool right now. I want to know how and when I should get ready for...

I was planning to close the pool this weekend. Have some algae and shocked the pool. I got a leak in the bottom corner of the liner by one of the supports. (Probably tore it when I was brushing the walls) Got the leak patched up with some waterproof repair tape since the pool stores were all...

my liner has a leak at the bottom of the pool near one of the support posts. you can hear the water running out. the water level has dropped 6" in the last 2 1/2 hours. All the pool stores are closed. Any suggestions for an emergency fix? The water has also hollowed out a hole in the spot...

We had a pouring rain all day on Monday. The water level in the pool got up to the top of the skimmer. On Tuesday evening I tested the water and this is what I got: FC- 1.5 CC- .5 TA- 100 CYA- 20 ish (black dot did not completely disappear) I raised the CL to 3ppm. Didn't get a chance to...

I have read the limited information and spoken to someone at HASA about it. It sounds good, but I was wondering if anyone has tried it on an AGP? The guy at Hasa said to use 2 check valves and install the unit between the pump and the filter. I don't see how I could do that since they are...

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping me with my algae problem. After countless vacuums, shocking and barely there pool patience, we now have clear, blue water. Too bad it is now pouring down rain..sigh.. We are still trying to get our readings in line, pH a little low and CYA...

Hi all, I am new to pool keeping and have a major algae problem right now. I have been reading the forums and have been shocking the pool for the last 2 days with liquid shock. The water is starting to clear, but I am having some major problems with the cartridge. I have a 21' ABP with a 1HP...
