Good day, Just had a quick question regarding the anchors for a pool ladder. These popped out last year, looks like the were just stuffed in with polymeric sand??? Does that make sense??? Long story I want to get a new set of anchors and new ladder this year. My brother in law has a pair of...

Good day, Just a quick question, is this yellow algae??? Before we left on our vacation noticed what appeared to be yellow lines/stains in the corner of the deep end (first picture). It would brush away quite easily. Came back from a week away to this very cloudy/yellowish pool. Now before I...

Good day, Just had a quick question here regarding my salt cell. I just want to make sure it is working. I used to run the pump 24/7 (8 hours @ 2400 rpm and 16 @ 1700rpm) and have the salt cell at 40% which would always maintain between 3-4 FC. Then started to use the liquid solar blanket...

Good day, This may be a silly question but I turned on our heater for the first time today (water was 60) and it seems to be all ok. Ignited, steam coming out of the top, condensation at the bottom. It’s been running for approx. 2 hours now and when I put my hand in front of the returns...

Good day, First time opening and just want to make sure I’m going about it the right way. Removed, washed and put away cover Removed all the return plugs and replaced with usual eyeball fittings Took Gizmo out of the skimmer Started to fill the pool Washed and put filters back in, cleaned...

Good day Pool seasons still aways away but have started looking into items to purchase this year before opening. Is there such a thing as underwater grip tape??? Was thinking of putting a colorful line of grip tape (or something similar) underwater just before the dip into the deep end. Any...

Good day, I know it all depends on your pool and I am slowly starting to get to know mine (ie. Once a week add 32oz of muriatic acid to keep ph level in check). My question is regarding my pool pump. Currently it runs 24/7 with the following schedule: 6-11 2400 rpm 11-5 1700 rpm 5-10 2700 rpm...

Good day, So I came back from the pool store (mainly just to verify the test results I’m finding with my taylor kit). They gave me this list of things to do before concentrating on what I went in for originally (which was to get my PH down). 1) Add 1L of phos defence (morning), wait 12 hours...

Ok, so I got my $180 kit (k2006), did my first batch of tests (while watching youtube "how to" videos) and this is what I got. Salt 2900 ppm (just taken from prologic controller reading, not sure how accurate that is however) Free Chlorine: 2.6 (13 drops x .2) Combined Chlorine: 0 (never turned...

Good day, So I’ve already spent $180 CDN to get the K-2006 test kit and while I’m waiting for delivery it’s time to start looking at robots. I’ve had the pool open for about 2 weeks now and am already sick of the manual vacuum (especially with the amount of worms I get, cleaning out the pump...

Good day, I've been looking around for possible mosquito control ideas and pretty much everything seems to fall into 1) propane units, 2) bug zappers, 3) the mosquito sprays... Think I'm leaning towards one of the propane units but also came across a company called green-strike. It seems to...

Good day, Just got our pool built last year and the PB just opened it. I have a ton of questions but will keep it simple for the time being (as I’ve been combing through all the forums in this website). I have a prologic system with an SWG (T9 cell??), it’s all hayward equipment. Currently...

First time poster here, anyway wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on the following. We are getting a pool 14x30 and live in Southern Ontario area. Everything is fine but there are two things we are having trouble deciding. 1) Single speed vs Variable speed pump: All I’ve read on...
