I am just starting to open our pool and I am not sure what level to shoot for the TA. the card that came with my test kit says 100-120 for "normal pools" (it says 60-90 for salt pools, but ours is not salt) and my pool math app says recommended is 50-90 ... I did check the set up and have...

I'm planning on powerwashing our deck ... maybe not this weekend since there is of course rain in the forecast ... but since my pool is sparkly I don't want to get junk in it! So, do you take precautions when powerwashing? or just try and power wash away from the pool? My hubby thinks I am...

I don't know the age of the filter since we got the pool from a friend (above ground pool), nor do I know when the...

I was trying to use the calculator but it is not working on my phone! I purposely left my cya low at 20 the start of the season so I can use pucks while we are on vacation ... the cya is currently 6 and cya is 20 we have 11000 gallon pool ... how many 3” trichlor pucks can I use? - - - Updated...

My cloudy pool finally turned the corner! I can see a quarter on the bottom! Now ... if it were a few degrees warmer! Time to sit back and enjoy the weekend!

We were away for an extended period and had someone taking care of our pool ... which they forgot and then panicked and ended up shocking and then floccing the pool. BTW - I was a member of this forum quite a while back when we set up our pool and have never had a problem with it until now...
