Hi I just had a new liner installed. I was hoping someone could show me pics of the finishing of the liner install beside the stairs for example. I feel like this might be missing something but I don't want to say something til I'm sure. The part above the track is covered in a glue of some...

Hi First off I want to thank all of you for being here and preventing me from going off the deep end over my years as a pool owner. I feel like an @$$ though that my only form of contributing in here seems to be with my problems, and for that I apologize. Anyway...we replaced our filter last...

FC 5.6ppm CC 0.2ppm pH 7.6 Alk 105? went clear at 100 and red at 110 Ca 420 CYA -- this is stumping me. We have had it tested at the pool store twice this year. The first time they said it was low and to add some. We did...about 4 cups. The next time they said there was none so we added a...

I priced out buying the acid and borax and this product actually works out cheaper as far as I can see. I'm not a chemist so hoping that one of you experts can tell me if this product fits the bill of doing the job without adding extra junk It's Aqua (brand) pool soft supreme and here is the...

Hello I've been away from the forum for quite some time. I passed over the pool care to my OH but ... now I think I might want back in. My first question should be to find out where I can order or buy a decent test kit from for Canadian delivery? For now I've had to use strips other than to...

I honestly can't believe I'm having another problem right now, but... When I turned my filter setting from filter to backwash it made a strange almost grinding noise for a quick second and then it just felt like it wasn't catching as I turned it. The settings do change to what I've set it for...

I have chronic issues with my pool's filtration system and none of the solutions or suggestions I've ever received have solved it. So today I finally found a "slime bag". I would like to use it with my backwash while vacuuming, but would also like to attach it to the return jet as suggested...

Hoping someone could please help me. First off, I have been away from the board due to a serious tragedy in my life. I just don't want anyone thinking I'm just using the board without participating without a reason. I desperately need help now though. My pool is losing water when the pump...

Hi I accidentally left the pump (unplugged) in the pool when it reached below the jets for closing. The water level subsequently is significantly lower than we usually keep it at for closure. Could someone please let me know what the the minimal safe level is for freezing and to keep our...

Well here I am with yet another question. My ph is up to at least 8.2 over a period of a week. I was away for a bit and had someone adding a little bleach each night for me, so I'm not sure when exactly it happened. pH was 7.4 when I left. My alkalinity has dropped from 100 to 80 but over a...

This product was recommended to me at a local pool store recently and I was wondering if there were any comments on it. The main benefit of this specific product was that it apparently raises your CYA right away as opposed to waiting the 4-7 days. naturalchemistry Thanks, N

More questions...is there a cut-off point for us newbies? The flap door on the front of skimmers...why do some have it and some not...benefits? When I vacuum I have to just plug my vac. into the intake hole under the skimmer basket...is there a way to adapt this so that I can leave my basket...

Let me start by saying that I've been a loyal customer of this pool store since we got our pool three years ago. I went in today to have my water checked. This is the first time this year that I've had my water to this place and I've bought chemicals and supplies there at least three times this...

I'm new here and have yet another question. I started another thread about my success? with clearing up algae using BBB and of course found myself to be such an expert that I've taken on a friends pool too to help them clear the same sort of algae mess we had (I'm kidding on the expert part) So...

I finally joined today. I'd been reading the posts at poolforum for about a week and I think I've managed to clear out a horrible algae problem in only a few days, thanks to all the great advice I read on these forums. Everyone is still shocked that I managed to do it with my bottles of...
