We are in Brisbane, Australia and have just endured the most devastating, unprecedented flooding. Fortunately our house is alright, with the exception of a small leak in the roof. The drainage around our pool is excellent, however yesterday it was unable to cope with the sheer volume of water...

We are currently receiving significant amounts of rain and it’s set to continue for at least the next week. It’s the first real rain we have had since the pool was built. Is there anything I need to do chemistry wise out of the ordinary? The cover is on and much of the rain seems to flowing from...

Pool is consuming alot of FC per day here in Australia and it is winter. I just wondered how much FC I should be losing with solar blanket on? Moderator Note: This Thread was removed from another thread. It stands on its own. Marty

Now that I have my ph down to a semi reasonable level I want to start getting my other levels in check. Pool maths is confusing me a little. I have all my pool’s info entered. It’s telling me for FC I should aim for 1-3 and cya of 70-80. This seems like a low FC level for that cya. The TFP...

I have posted this question in my thread, but am looking for as many opinions as I can get. I have been so definite about everything I’ve wanted for the pool... until now. For some reason I’m finding choosing the right grout colour for our waterline tiles very difficult. I think because the...

I'm wondering how hot is too hot to apply shotcrete? We are booked for Wednesday, but temps this week are quite high, with Wednesday expected to be by far the hottest. I trust my pool builder but would like to know at which point do I question the application. Thanks.

After lurking for a few months I thought I'd start a thread as our pool build is about to start. I'm feeling fairly comfortable with the build process and I'm ready for the inevitable hiccups along the way. It was quite a process selecting a pool builder, but we're fairly comfortable with the...

Hi, our pool build will be starting early Feb and I have been looking into test kits, as we are keen to maintain our water ourselves. Would anyone be able to tell me if the linked test kit will be ok? It will be a small pool with a swg and apparently automatic acid dosing. It will be our first...
