Hi. as the the title says, I recently had my pool re-plastered. I'm very happy with it. I also, replaced all my equipment and added a saltwater generator system. Prior to this I was using liquid chlorine. I haven't added the salt yet, of course, as I'm still in the first 30 day setup time...

Hi Jason, it leaks faster with the pump running. Thanks for weighing in.

Hi Jason. No the ground is dry, no unusual growth anywhere from getting extra waterings. Thanks for the information.

Thank you Mod Squad for your input. There's nothing at that level. The light is below the leak. Our equipment is on a slab at ground level.

Hello everyone! We have a leak in our pool. I'd say it's serious, although I really have no idea. Our pool leaks down about 2 feet below what is considered full at a moderate/fast rate. It pretty much remains at that level, leaking then becomes EXTREMELY slow. Yes, we have bubbles when we...

My pool does get lots and lots of sun. All day, from sun up to sun down. Not a tree around. I do agree the price is pretty high. I guess if I'm putting salt in it all the time, I might as well save my money and just put chlorine in, until the right solar system comes around. thanks for...

I was thinking about using a solar SWG. Has anyone any thoughts, information, suggestions, ect.. regarding this. I'm looking at this unit and I would need 2 for my pool. any other units you are aware of would be helpful. At the present time I am using liquid Chlorine. No issues, just would...

Lowes Home improvement stores carry Pool covers also, you could compare prices -if you have one in your area.

thank you for your answer.

Hello everyone. I have a masterpool 6 head in floor pop up system. One of the heads broke off. I am waiting on a replacement. It could take a few days and at the moment there's just a hole where the head used to be. Of course water shoots out of it when it rotates to that pop up. I was...

alfspop, thanks for the advise. I am willing to give it a try. I am pretty frustrated at this point. I have not been able to figure this out AND KEEP MY POOL CLEAN. I do have socks in my skimmer and the leaf basket already. Haven't done the popups though. thanks again.

thank you both. I couldn't have done it without you.

It took a while but I am Chrystal clear and held CC at 0 overnight. The kids are happy today and so am I!! Thank you everyone for your help. [attachment=0:2g1pzstu]chrystal clear.JPG[/attachment:2g1pzstu]

thanks Butterfly. I'll look for one.

oh, and thanks Richard320 for your response. It's appreciated.

Ok, after reading another thread, on Black Algae, I now find out I have been using the wrong brush to clean my pool for 6 months!!!! One of the local pool stores told me to use a nylon brush as a metal brush would be to hard on a plaster pool! I can't tell you how PO I am right now. So.... I...

Day 5 of holding my shock level at 29 for possible Mustard Algae. The cloud is still present but not enough to photograph. [attachment=0:259ygu7k]major improvemtn.JPG[/attachment:259ygu7k] cc this morning 1.5 still shocking! Question for anyone out there: Algae is a living organism, is...

ok, I won't stop! Thanks for posting so fast.

thanks Jason, I won't adjust the PH. I will just re-adjust the chlorine.

.....then I started thinking about Paula Deen, you know, the southern "...honey, you can't get too much butter in there lady..." @butterfly, yes I know her, her food is dangerous! ok, I vacuumed, cleaned the filter, added acid to lower the PH to 7.4, Numbers were as follows at 1:35pm: FC...

lol, sorry for the typo!

ok, thanks everyone. I am going to shock at mustard level, after I get the PH to 7.4. And thanks butteryfly, I will stay on the high side and see what polyquat 60 is, as I have never heard of it. I'll post again later.

BTW: this stuff is in my pool ALL THE TIME. Everyday. For the past 6 months, with the exception of about 2 weeks after I shocked at mustard level. I shocked at the mustard level in the pool calculator. It took a week to get my numbers to look good and cc to stay a 0. The stuff keeps...

Ok, I can shock for mustard, I did that before. Last time it took a week to get where I needed to be but at that time my CC was high also. I don't know what cal hypo is. I will shock with my liquid chlorine. shouldn't my CC be high?

Yesterday I was out of Muriatic acid and the pool store where I get my liquid chlorine and acid was closed. My PH was high but I couldn't do anything about it. I now have muriatic acid and 10.5% liquid chlorine. This morning my pool looks worse. So I decided to start from scratch this morning...
