    What is Bioguard backup test kit

    Hi, I found this bioguard backup test kit in my pool shed from the previous owner. Any idea what it is for and how to dispose of it as it’s been sitting around for a long time.

    I noticed my closed up pool has not filled up from the rainfall we have been getting and measure that the pool has been losing water (.5 to 3/4" daily). The water level is at winter level - below the returns/skimmer and they are still plugged. I'm guessing it might be the main drain leaking or...

    Pre-Opening in Toronto

    That sounds like what I will do... 1. Net out the bigger stuff. (just a small pile of leaves in the middle of the pool) 2. Robot to clean finer dirt & add some bleach while the robot is stirring up the water. After the new pump is installed.. 3. Run the pool up to normal chemistry and leave...
