Hi, I have a traditional in-ground pool and use a TAYLOR K-2006 TEST KIT, TFP app, liquid chlorine, muriatic acid and baking soda... works like magic! My brother is getting a splash super pool, it's 13x17. Can he use liquid chlorine (10%) to sanitize his pool? Or does he need to use the more...

Hi, The check valve on my spa return is leaking when under pressure, looks like it’s cracked. I’ve been googling trying to find a replacement, but haven’t found one. There is no flex in the top or bottom pipe that connects to the valve, so it needs to be similar to the existing one. Any...

I’ll give that a try. From reading some of the earlier comments, raising the chlorine and killing all algae will remove the food for the “Water Boatmen”, but the “Backswimmers” feed of insects. Sounds like there is nothing you can do for “Backswimmers” except fish them out with the net and...

Thanks, here’s my test results: FC: 4 PH: 7.4 TA: 65 CH: 280 CYA: 35

Hi, I've been following the TFP method daily for months nows, water is clear, no algae.. anyway, I find from time to time these little swimming water bugs in my pool. Seems at times there are outbreaks. I've also seen then in neighbors pools that are "professionally maintained". Can anybody...

Also forgot to answe the questions above. There is one palm that hangs over the pool and a bush, the yard has a lot of vegetation, maybe some seeds blew in and got stuck in the filter, then sprouted when sanitizer was low or zero for some period of time. No, filter has never been left out...

During the winter, the CL dropped pretty low for a while. It was in January I got my Taylor test kit and have been on top of it since. But the sprouts seemed like they were growing in the cracks of the filter, although no way of telling for sure. Hopefully now that the sanitization is good...

I cleaned out my filter today, and found there were some kind of sprout growing on the outside of the filter. I know it's been a few months since I've cleaned it out, but was very surprised to see it. I don't have anything growing in the pool, so guessing some seeds got sucked into the filter...

I have a CYA of ~44 with a 22K gallon, in ground plaster pool, and have been adding about 45oz / day. This is my first summer with the pool, so not really too sure what to expect. I have also been adding MA (31.45%) to keep my pH down, maybe about 8oz a few times per week. I've been using the...

thanks guys!

Hi, I recently did a self install of a: Hayward SP3202VSP TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump Energy Star Certified OmniLogic Compatible (Amazon) Pump is working great, but I'd love to be able to change the settings from my phone. What are my options for adding wifi connectivity to my pump...

Hi Everyone, I just replaced my 2006 Jandy 1.5HP Stealth pump with a Hayward SP3202VSP pump. I have a below ground 20K gallon pool and my pump and filter are considerably higher (about 15 feet). So far, the Hayward pump has been doing a great job, but I noticed that after it runs for a long...
