Thanks for the reassurance, I got back late from work last night so I never got chance to get out there and brush.

Good Evening, Had a recent bloom of Algae just before the holiday weekend, its my fault for not keeping a close eye on it.... so proceeded to SLAM and clean the green algae. I noticed some black dots a few weeks ago didn't really register what it was. At that time I scrubbed with my nylon...

I buy my liquid chlorine from Walmart at $3.50ish a gallon if they don’t have it I’ll buy regular bleach. I tend to use liquid chlorine all year accept Israel’s crazy hot summer months then I start using the pucks because I can’t keep On top of it. I just monitor my CYA if it starts to raise...

I just wanted to post an update incase any members are searching for same problems -> the previous fix dint last long but the latest fix seems to be holding up well I sourced the attached bulbs 12v Bulb replacement

Ok, I solved my light problem. I am running a low voltage light circuit and used (GU4 MR11) 12v led bulbs .... the worked a treat and fitted into existing fittings. All the cracks were sealed and 'liquid tape' used to try and further waterproof all fittings.

I guess nobody loves me today (n)

Hello Everyone, During the summer season my pool lights decided to stop working on me which in all honesty makes the pool look pretty boring and dull in the evening. I have today been in the pool and took the bulbs out -> ive established that the bulbs are "Powerite LAU-2" -> there was water...

I absolutely love this Thread : ) can we get a picture of your nice clear pool?

MkNauss and Texas splash have got your back! Your going to win and once you get your pool under control this pool thing becomes very very very easy! Soon your pool will be crystal clear!

Have you not got someone who could run the store for you if you start running out?

The pool essentials from Walmart is pretty amazing value but I find later in the season they stop stocking it!

This is interesting! Praying you break the cycle before your bank balance

Have you downloaded the pool math application to your smart phone and put in your test results? the app will tell you exactly what to put into the pool? You will have to raise your FC to around 4-8 PPM using liquid chlorine (but as your CYA is low you can use SHOCK to raise the FC and the...

I am speaking from a complete newbie perspective , I got my house last year with the pool. In the summer I add 1 gallon of bleach every 3-4 days. In all honesty I used to test my pool almost everyday but after about 2-3 months of doing this I learnt the swimming pool, now after 10 months in...

I had similar problems the other week, and I threw some calcium chloride in it to raise CH, CH was at 350 today, pool temp 54f and PH 7.9 CSI = - 0.05 That calcium harness plays a huge role in the csi, in pool maths you can play with figures to see how to balance to get the right csi

I’ve been the house 6 months, so I’m guessing they were broken before we moved in how often should I be cleaning the cartridge filters? I’m guessing my current 6 months is to long Some of the bands have started to fail on th cartridges.

Thanks man! Your always my savior! Thanks for your help. Should I replace cartiridges and all o-rings while I am at it? Is it quite common for these manifolds to fail?

Hello, I am new to pools , and I’ve learnt a lot since having my pool. So before we got into the swimming season here in lower Alabama I thought it was time to clean my cartridge filters. So I watched a few you tube videos and today took the top cover off and the manifold is cracked on the...
