Don’t know for sure, but I will say yes.

Hi, I had a problem with bubbles in the water in June. It’s July and I still have bubbles in the water. Today I vacuumed and as soon as I adjusted the valves it started to get the water surface to cloud up. My numbers are, fc- 10 ph-7.6 ta- 100 ch-240 cya-70 the test was done last night. The...

Thanks, I’ll wait a few days.

Yes, they are vary fine and I can run my hand over them and they break up.

This is the second thread about surface bubbles, the first thread they asked for a picture, and then the filter broke on the pool and I had to get the chemicals right. So, fc,8 ph,7.6 ta,100 Ch,260 cya,80 salt 3900. The only thing that could be the problem is ta is a little high.

I am studying and going over the chlorine testing. I had brain problem last year and can’t remember how I tested chlorine. The other tests seem ok and I dont have trouble doing them, but the chlorine just skips me, I can’t remember it. The instructions don’t help. With the 0.2 and 25 ml of...

I have a Fiberglas pool and I am taking out the algea my guess is from last year. I have cleaned it up to where the bottom was visible and I vacuumed the bottom. Now it has bubbles in tiny areas all over the surface....... what is it?

Ph7.2 and Ta is 90. But I haven’t put any water in since last year. I took out about 5 in and kept 4. I closed the pool myself and took out Water below the skimmer.

I have tested the total water and the only thing that was off was the TA, it is 90. I have been having health concerns this summer, so I have been Testing mostly FC. The TA was 70 July 12. I am asking, can higher TA cause an issue with something? Is it not high enough to be an issue yet? It...

The testing is bad because the pump has been done and at times not working. The chlorine filter has at times not been working. It has been giving me problems with not enough salt cause i had to much rain to depose of. I also had not enough cya because of the rain. It was the end of June before...

I am using the pentair filter for the last 3 years. The first year I didn’t do a thing. The second year I had to do a couple cleanings and it was good. The third year I have cleaned and taken apart 5 or 6 times and there doesn’t seem to be any thing else I can do. I have used the filters for the...

I have a mesh cover. It does not keep all debris out. Leaves and plants parts blow under and I usually get about 5lbs of dead worms come spring. With the rain and snow we get all winter, I still have to drain pool several times durung off season. I don’t think there is such a thing as...

I have a similar pump,same circumstance with extension cord. Pool size a little smaller. My hydro tube is 6 feet deep, it takes me ( 50 ft garden hose) 4 to 5 hrs to drain it near full. Pool about 1 to 1 1/2 hrs to drain it 3 to 4 inches. I may have to do this 3 or 4 times during winter. I...

Was the pool winterized? As in covered? filter put away or drained? The window for such things is closing fast. If still working and filtering it might be possible, but the fact the water is so cold algea isn’t producing so won’t get much worse till spring. I don’t think I would mess with it...

I tried the low viscosity epoxy on the hair line cracks, it basically degraded over the first winter and one summer. I also used it around the chipping at anchors for winter cover and that held up very well, same length of time. I also had a pop of concrete the size of a tennis ball, used a...

This is the first year I closed pool myself, I lowered water 1in below skimmer. The past two winters a company closed without lowering water. Each of those years I had to go out 3 or 4 times and drain water from pool, to prevent water from reaching coping. It gets old quick in 30 deg Temps and/...

Weather here went down hill fast, water temp 51, I could have closed weeks ago. I decided to close it myself this year and ordered a cyclone from amazon due to arrive today. Luckily the leaves are very slow to change this year so very few leaves dropping yet. Nice temps for the next few days so...

I have only 3 trees near the pool within 15 ft, none overhanging. A few trees farther out, depending on wind speed and direction I get debris most of the summer. Bud, blossom pedals to leaves. Nothing in great quantities but enough to cause annoyance. I have plenty of pine trees (not very close...

Rick, read the winter closing thread. There is a link in there about a rework of the pump basket cover. It’s about adding a fitting to a cover that will accept a standard hose from the cyclone. Sounds like you have the same pump, same issue. This fitted cover seems to solve the problem.

It was a beautiful sunny day here but air temps never got out of the 50s. Water temp 62. No improvement in weather so pool closing in a few days before leaves fall.

I haven’t had an AGP for years but it looks ok to me. if you get a lot of precipitation, the pool water level will rise and drain out skimmer. So don’t need to add water. If you get heavy wind, maybe some added weight to cover edges,( exp. sand filled bleach bottles ) attached to cover.

This will be my third winter, mesh cover, no polyquat, chlorine only to slam level. I monitor water temp every couple of days for the magic number of 60 degrees. Calendar date is irrelevant. Close when it gets near 60. It will take weeks for chlorine to drift down and water will be in 40 to 50s...

A good amount of heat is lost at night, if you keep a solar cover on when not in use you will lose less heat overall.

Your welcome, I like the new logo......

Thanks, I debated leaving it for this year. SWG is at a low setting and Grape, your right-sun sitting lower not as strong and this cloudy weather most days, I probably don’t need CYA of 80. Pat, I didn’t think of the lower slam next year. Good plan, Thanks again.

I haven’t tested complete set of tests for a month. Today I tested and CYA was down from 80 to 50. Had more rain than usual and drained a few times, maybe 2” in total. Weather has been cloudy, rainy, minimal exposer to sun for last month. Fc has been holding very well. My question is this...

After pool was installed I looked into a shade sail to cover half of pool. This was 2 years ago and couldn’t find much info, especially for my area. What I found kind of scared me with the size and strength and length of posts needed. Then the size of holes to sink post,and amount of concrete...

My bedroom is not that big or as clean, :(

Are the pins that slip in the holes made of metal? Mine are plastic so they would break off before elongating the holes. my set up is two years old and from the get go, no matter how tight I made the compression, the pole would keep slipping especially after it got wet. I think your on to...
