    Pump won't run at all

    Hello there. I just opened my pool on Tuesday without any complications. Until a few hours later... A breaker tripped. I turned it back on and it seemed to run fine. Wednesday, the breaker tripped again, turned it back on. Thursday (yesterday) I came home from work and nothing is running. No...

    4 day vacation coming up

    Summer is here and it's just about time for our family beach vacation. My pool has been crystal clear and numbers have been perfect and I'd love nothing more than to come home to the same sparkling water. Should I just bring it up to shock level with bleach and let it run 24/7?

    TA question

    Hello. My pool is finally Crystal clear after SLAMing a few weeks ago and my levels are all pretty much perfect. I just want to make sure about the TA though. Pool Math says TA range should be 50-90+ and the card that comes with the test kit says 100-120 for a manual chlorine pool. So I'm just...

    We opened our pool last weekend and it was very green. We started the SLAM process Tuesday (this is Saturday) after balancing TA-110 and pH-7.2. CYA was good at 50. Our shock target is 20 and we've been pretty consistent at keeping it there. The green faded to cloudy blue by the next morning...

    Just refilled due to high CYA and algae, help

    I followed the recommendations I received the other day and, with a CYA of 180, drained all but a foot of my pool. I had the pool refilled earlier today and just retested everything. Here are my new levels: FC = 11 CC = 0 CH - 150 TA = 70 CYA = 70 (I was surprised it's still this high) pH = a...

    Used test kit for the 1st time, Help!

    Hello there, I posted a thread a week or so ago about my green pool and all the money I've been literally dumping into it thanks to the pool store, and have gotten no results. I ordered the recommended test kit (the big package, forgive me - I forget the name), and I just used it for the first...

    High pH, green water

    Hi, I am new to this site. I've read through a few threads and I'm not quite sure what my problem is this summer with my pool. We just had it installed towards the end of summer in 2014. My first two summers I had a Crystal Clear Pool. The majority of this summer it has been cloudy green, and...
