I have a Laars lite 2 heater. It’s old but works great. This is my third season owning the pool and the second starting it up myself. The manual for my heater says to put about 5 cc of sae 50 non detergent oil in the siphon loop. I can’t seem to find sae 50 non detergent oil. Can anyone point me...

A few weeks ago, I had what I assume was an algae bloom. Water temperature was in the mid 80s from the previous weekend. It was a chilly week and nobody was using the pool. I was working long hours and didn’t check chemicals from Sunday to Thursday. When I removed the cover Thursday evening for...

I'm a brand new pool owner and opening for the first time. I'm learning quick (sometimes the hard way). I uncovered the pool Saturday to find a BLACK SWAMP. I think the last owners knew it wasn't going to be their problem and closed it (in 2015 BTW) with leaves in the bottom. I also lost some...

I am losing water at approximately 1 GPM but don't know where! I've ruled out the liner by plugging the suction and return lines last night. No water was lost overnight. Not to mention the liner is only 2 years old. I am preparing for a new concrete deck so the timing to fix a leak is good...
