Has anyone added a flat rail to their Summer Escapes pool. I don't like the pipe rails.

We have an 18 x 48 Summer Waves AGP. It has the in-wall skimmer and 1 return. Our manual cleaner is not cutting it right now with the dust storm we have been having. We have cleaned the pool 5 times since yesterday and it is still not clean. Our pool is never going to be clean enough to close...

My water temp is not cold enough for closing - 67* with air temps to be in upper 80s and 90s for the next week. It has been very windy here lately and looks like that is not changing any time soon. We intend to get a mesh leaf cover to use while leaves are dropping to save the winter cover we...

Anyone know how to re-calibrate a digital thermometer? A few days ago it started saying my water was 120*+. I guess I better get to looking for a new one before closing time comes. Good thing is I am not close to closing. We got up to 100* today.

I know I am several weeks out from closing, but want to make sure we do it correctly. We live in Northern Oklahoma and do get snow and freezes. The Farmers Almanac is saying we could have a hard winter. We intended to get a winter cover and a leaf mesh cover for our pool. We already have a pool...

I am sitting here watching Ultimate Pools on HGTV and was wondering if any of them are TFP Pools! - - - Updated - - - The one they are showing right now does not look very clear. Looks a little green. EEK!

I had to run into a Leslie's this morning to pick up something. (Not chemicals.) There were several people in front of me getting their water tested. The lady in front of me was asking questions about closing her pool in Kansas versus California since Kansas gets snow. She was questioning pipes...

I live in Oklahoma and am surrounded by red dirt. We live not even 1/2 a mile from fields and it is Oklahoma "where the wind comes sweeping down the plains". I think I have found some algae on the water level mark on the opposite side of the return. (I think). My FC was lower than what it should...

This is probably a dumb question, but I haven't found an answer. When all the temperature to Pool Math, is the the outside temperature or the pool temperature? Had been using outside temp, but bought a pool thermometer yesterday.

Is it fine to have a metal frame pool and a SWG? Just deciding how we want to upgrade. Also, our water is naturally hard as well as a high pH and TA.

Thank you to whoever mentioned the Intex Multi-Color LED Pool Sprayer. We were able to get one at our local Walmart on clearance for $15. Put it on today and LOVE it. Can't wait to see it at night. Intex Mult-Color LED Pool Sprayer - Walmart.com

We are leaving tomorrow for a week. I have someone checking our pool, but want the least amount of work for her. This morning when checking pH, it has inched back up to 7.8. Just wondering if it is ok to use MA to lower the pH if we are putting the pool cover on while we are gone? I will be...

We are leaving Friday for vacation and will be gone 8 days. We have someone coming daily to turn the pump off in the day and on at night. With the cover off we have been adding 10 oz of 10% bleach (per PoolMath) each night. With the cover on, how much should we have her add and how often?

My CYA was 0 when filling pool. I am using stabilizer in a sock next to my return. I know I am suppose to use 42 oz of stabilizer. I only have one return. I am putting 9 oz in at a time and still have 24 oz to put in. Do I wait til after I have done the full 42 oz to retest or do I do it sooner?

Every post I have read says that rain lowers alkalinity. I am fighting high alkalinity - I had got it down to 275 from 313). We got a hard rain last night (after putting in pH Decreaser). This morning when I did my testing I was very surprised to see my TA up to 320. I added another pound of pH...

How can I lower CH without draining the pool? We just drained and refilled the pool and starting CH was 475. We have extremely hard water. Here are my levels: FC 8.5 TC 9 CC 0.5 pH 7.5 TA 275 CH 475 CYA 0 I am adding acid to lower pH and TA and aerating to increase pH. I used what...

We are thinking about going to bleach to chlorinate our pool. My question is, does the bleach not bleach you swimwear when using it? It may be a silly question, but my husband is not sure about using it until he knows. We had to drain our pool and start over because we couldn't get it clear, no...
