Thanks, Rocky. I may give that a try. Kind regards, Steve

Hi all, I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed; search was not my friend, I use a tail sweep diffuser on my Polaris 280 cleaner. It falls off every few days; I usually find it in the debris sack. I bought the most recent one less than two months ago. What are others doing to...

I figured out how to upload an image of the pool:

Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster. FC 5.0 avg CC 0 pH 7.8 TA 80 CH 400 CYA 60 I purchased a home with a pool in spring 2016. My CYA (260) and chlorine (10+) were probably due to the previous owner/pool services chlorinator settings. A local company provided a pool school before I...
