Last year my diving board cracked so I need to replace it. Is there one standard size for them? Also do you drill the holes to fit the mounts? The slide I have was painted by previous home owners and I can't seem to remove it. It's chipping and peeling but not coming off entirely so I need to...

Had my pool opened for a week now. I found a bucket of trichlor pucks from Lowe's to help raise cya for the season. The pool opened slightly green with a good layer of leaves at the bottom. I've only used about six pucks in the chlorinator and had the pump running 12 hours daily. FC CC and...

So my diving board cracked last year and I'm in the market for a new one. Where would you guys recommend buying one? And should I get any certain type so that it doesn't break again? Also looking to put in a new slide as the paint is chipping in my old one. How do I go about selecting one...

Been doing your method for three years now and it really helped clear up algea and save me cash. I got comfortable this summer and started to reduce test times... And it happened to be on a heat wave for us. I kept adding the same amount of bleach as usual while casually testing. I noticed...

So I'm pretty comfortable with the pool now thanks to you guys. I have a 33000 gallon vinyl pool and my calcium is only at 80, although from browsing the ABC section it looks like it's irrelevant to vinyl if I read it correctly. Also while maintaining the bleach throughout the week, should I...

So this may have been a bold attempt but no good deed goes unpunished.... I figured out how to close/open my own sand filter pool no problem and have been doing it for years.. However my aunt decided to have me come by and do her DE filter pool which I gave her the disclaimer that I might miss...

Have been doing your method since last year, got myself that nice $100 test kit from taylor too. Levels at the moment are FC 15 TA 140 CYA 35 PH 7.4 Ive been running the filter (sand) nonstop with the chlorine level this high for about a week now and its still cloudy with a tint of green. I...

Been doing the ABC method on here this summer and love it. Right now my pool is cloudy and I can't figure out why I've started slamming it so my readings are FC 15 CC 0 pH 7.4 Ta 140 Cya 35 I did use tablets for two weeks to bump up the cya as it was well below 30. Could that be why it's...

I have the Taylor kit that everyone recommends but I'm running low on the chlorine and cya reagents. Where do you buy them from?

I've been trying to figure out how long to run the pump for and just want to make sure I'm not doing this wrong. I have a 1.5 hp pump and a 20x40 33000 gal pool. I'm thinking in the range of 8 to 10 hours. Also does it matter time of day? Obviously electricity is cheaper at night... And...

I'm trying to figure out the calculation for cost of my local bleach however im failing to be able to get the cost per cent of sodium hypo. The local store by me offers 1 gallon 12.5% for 5$. I see that it is a bit high compared to the locked thread above. I've tried doing different...

Not that I necessarily have an issue with my current pump, but I see that there are more energy efficient options out there as mine is eating through my electric bill. I'm curious of what you guys recommend for a pump with a 30K+ gallon pool in full sun. Also on a side issue how long would...

So I've fallen in love with this forum, you guys have been great. In my attempt to close my pool this year, ive doen everything succuessfully so far as i can tell. I removed the return 'eyeballs' and faceplate that screws on to keep the eyeball to the wall. My problem however, is that the...

Right now i have been dragging out my Sonos speakers and plugging them in which isnt a big deal, but i would like a permament solution. I live in NY so i experience the four seasons. I have a good set up under the sil of my 2nd story roof that i can mount them safely. Are there any...

So after some research and much frustration I've found myself with a green pool, 100 dollar test kit and on this forum for help. I've had my pool for 3 years now and had no luck keeping it clear. I've been using the 3 inch triclor tabs from my local pool store along with their liquid chlorine...
