Hi all, I was an avid reader and follower of TFP for some time when I bought my house with pool in 2016. I had everything super under control and water was sparkling like glass. Unfortunately life happens and disappointed to say pool maintenance became less of a priority. I continued to struggle...

This was on Facebook that someone shared. Oh boy.

Thinking on adding a SWG to my pool. 11,000 gallons. Plaster pool. Currently liquid chlorine. On a budget but was wondering everyone’s recommendation. Has anyone heard of : PureLine Pool Salt System 20,000 Gallons - PL7701 - INYOPools.com

My pool after a dust storm gets extremely covered in dust on the floor. If I vacuum, it just keeps coming back from some being pushed around. After storms last week I battled a cloudy pool and high alkalinity levels. Got it all taken care of and back to beautiful clean pool this weekend...

I’ve attached a screenshot of my pool log. I’ve been maintaining pool with around 80-90 CYA for over a year now. Just added MA to lower PH to 7.2 to bring down Alkalinity. But how did CH get so high? Is water replacement my only solve to lower ?

I have the Hayward Swim Clear C3025 filter currently. Pool was built in 2006 and that was the original filter. I am not the first owner of the pool. Long story short I need a new Pressure Gauge, there are several cracks that leak some air by the pressure relief valve (looks like someone...

Hello all, it's been awhile since I've posted. My PVC Ball Valve for my aerator which comes from the filter return pipe and goes straight under ground is broken and leaking. I have replaced PVC before but I am a little worried since its sort of a tight spot and a little different since when I...

Hey all first winter in Arizona with my pool and the night dropping to 30. Should I be concerned about anything freezing. Should I keep my pool running through the night?

Alright all, after battling this pool season (first as a pool owner) with a high CYA and to say the least some issues along the way and avoiding any algae. It’s time. I am lucky enough that I pay a basic sewer charge year round and am aware of my drain requirements in my area but better yet I...

What exactly causes a basket to crack? Just this week I had both my pump and skimmer basket cracks. Worst part about my skimmer basket is I use skimmer socks and I had a sock get stuck in the pipe going down last night and had to forcefully pull it out thank god it wasn’t worse where I had to...

Hello all - So I just replaced my pool pump with a Pentair WF-4 not brand new, but works awesome, much better than my Hayward Super Pump II and showing some energy savings already. Runs much better, and I can run my pool for less time. But I'm planning for next season to replace my filter and...

So long story short had a relay on my current Fiberstars Panel go bad. But I've been thinking, maybe it's best to upgrade since the electrical work is a disaster anyway. (See below). Im looking for budget friendly but also with some smart functions like wifi control. What is everyone's...

Was having a slight discussion about this on my original getting stared thread. Long story short my pool pump Hayward Super II 1 hp pump wouldn't turn on. After checking voltage with a multimeter I figured my pump was dead. Got a pump from a friend that I know for sure works. But after...

So I am only a few months in as a pool owner, after uncovering leaky plumping at my equipment pad and far too many leaks coming from my filter I decided that instead of attempting repairs to just start replacing my equipment pad, but starting with my filter and the plumbing since thats really...

Moved into a house with a pool built in 2006. House was built in 2002. Quick overview: when I took ownership the pool had a lot of debris at the bottom, pool floor covered in algae and dirt. Purchased manual vacuum and other pool cleaning supplies and cleaned it up a bunch. When the pump turned...
