I will be out of town for 5-6 days with no one to watch the pool. Im thinking my plan is 3 chlorine pucks in a floater, pump on 24x7 and no filter cartridge, so the pressure doesn't get too high. Will that work?

Hi guys, Because we end up draining or pool every year (long story) this year we are going to just use chorine punks in a floater. This will be extra helpful because I will be traveling a lot this summer. Anyway, the pool is almost refilled with fresh water and I have a question about the...

Hi guys, I've been trying to get my pool working for fathers day and I feel like I'm failing. I started yesterday and these were my first test numbers: Chlorine- I skipped because I haven't put anything in the pool in over a year. Ch- 200 Ta- 80 Ph- 7.5 Cya - 0 - I filled the cya tube to the...

Hi all, I got my replacement tf-100 stuff today and did my first test: Chlorine- I skipped because I haven't put anything in the pool in over a year. Ch- 20 Ta- 80 Ph- 7.5 Cya - 0 - I filled the cya tube to the top and could still see the black dot. So I think I need a trip to the pool...

At Ollie's looking for bleach for my pool. They have this

Hi guys, Log time no talk. I was out of work last year and didn't open the pool. But this year the kids insisted. So I started today. I fixed a leak at the pump, put the hose in for 4+ hours, skimmed what I could off the top and fired up the pump/filter. Looks like I have good pressure. I also...

Hi all, my tf-100 kit came today, as recommended by you guys. Right now my pool looks like this: i used the daily ph test which I think I’m at 7.5. Sometimes I have a hard time matching the colors on that test so I did a second ph test on a crappy kit I had and it said 7.6. I did the cya...

I’m new to pool maintenance and I bought a test kit Poolmaster 22260 5-Way Test Kit with Case. I feel like I’m sometimes guessing which color block matches my test water. I noticed they make digital ones that tell you an actual number. Are these reliable? Is there a model that works better then...

The local pool store sold me a 20 pound bag of DE and told me to put 1/3 of it into my skimmer. So I did and my filter glogged right up. All day today we have had to pull out the filter and clean it every 40 mins or so because the return jets stop flowing. 1/3 of a bag is about 7 pounds. We have...

I rented a house a month ago with an inground pool that has had issues but the owners don’t seem willing to help me. So I’m attempting to fix it myself and I’m hoping you guys can help me. I noticed lately I have had to add the hose to top it off daily. I did a google search and learned about...
