I drained my pool a few months ago in preparation for whatever I might need to do to make it better this summer than it was last summer. I don't have tons of money and plan on doing whatever I can myself. Any improvements will help I'm sure. Last year my main problems stemmed from...

I've owned my pool now for about 14 months. When I inherited it, it was green etc. I straightened it up and used it this past summer, but due to all kinds of little divots in the plaster, algae is a problem. I know that the previous owner (family aquaintance) did not really care for the pool...

It needs some work. One of the foam rollers was chewed up a bit by a dog and the power cord is severed. The drive belt is new according to the previous owner. Does anyone know where I can get parts for this thing? I tried the manufacturers website but came up empty as it is an old model and...

I inherited the pump when I bought the house 1 year ago. Don't know it's age or it's history. One day it started making a small whining noise. A noise that didn't exist until just last week when it started. The pump still works as normal, I haven't noticed any drop in it's efficiency. BUT...

My pool is in direct sunlight practically from dawn till dusk. Here where I live the temps are holding at about 105-107 F all day. I've been using liquid chlorine for months now and have gotten used to daily doses. Back in the winter I was using roughly 32 oz. per day when I was trying to...

Hi all, I've been here a while off and on and I've been using store bought bleach to keep my FC levels around 1-1.5 for a couple months now. I did my initial tests with my TF-100 kit and several follow up tests since then. But I've not tested anything but chlorine levels for about a month...

I love this site. Plain and simple. I love free information from folks with experience that like to teach. I'm one of them. If I have info, I'll share it. My dad went to the pool store the other day. He's having some algae problems (yellow) and he doesn't really think that the BBB method...

So, got my kit which is awesome and these are my results: FC .5 CC .5 TC 1 pH 7.8 T/A 90 CH 190 CYA Less than 20 What do I need to fix and how?!!

I have these Pentair filters that I'm thinking I need to replace. I don't know how old they are or how often they need replacement, but I think the previous owner probably never swapped them out in their entire lives. I see a bunch of different P/N's on them, but I don't know which I have...

Hello everyone. This has probably been discussed before, but at the risk of someone saying "use the search function" I'll post my question. I have a pool from the mid 70's that has been neglected over the years. I am taking better care of it than I believe anyone ever has. The problem is...

Hi everyone. My pool was built in the early-mid 70's. I bought this house at the tail end of last summer. It's really dated and kind of stupid looking. If I intend on having people over for years to come and swim in my pool, I'd like it to look a bit more decent. I'm also not made of money...

Hello everyone, I just bought a house and have been caring for the pool myself for about 1.5 months. When I got it, it was in really bad shape. Couldn't see the bottom and green as all get out. After the first week I had it looking much better, all based off of suggestions from my dad who...
