We opened our pool a bit early this year for Ontario, Canada temperatures. There have been days where the temperature outside overnight has gone as low as -7C (20F) and I'm just worried if we will be damaging our plumbing. The most extreme it's been is -7C (20F) for 2 hours and -5C (23F) for...

We have closed our pool for the winter and not covering it for the winter likely. We have a lot of mature trees around the pool and seem to be staining the bottom. Is there anything we can do to get rid of the staining?

How do you close the return lines then? Do you just close them while air is blowing out of them?

To close the pool, we need to clear the lines so we need to go below skimmer. No?

Wouldn't we need to clear the lines?

We're looking to not cover our in-ground pool this year after closing for the winter. Wondering how low can we go or should we go? Given that we live in Ontario, Canada so get plenty of snow. p.s. Is there any cons for not covering it?

I raised the FC = 10.8 & CC = 0.2 and it stayed there for about 30+ minutes, can I throw in the CYA now?

Looking to add borates to the pool

Trying to bring TA down from 140. I prefer not to "make" anything, so can I keep my pool jets at surface? I have about 4? Would that work okay?

Just wanted to get more sparkle and get the added benefit of Borates. I will look into lowering the TA first.

Just wondering if this Boric Acid is okay to use for adding borates to pool? My Alkalinity is at 140 for a Vinyl pool, I assume I should bring this down before adding? Thanks

I tested my CYA when pool opened and it was 0. I added some dry stabilizer and it got up to 50. Now a month later, it's reading at 0 again, how can that be? We've gotten a lot of rain and backwashed somewhat but I don't know why it's reading at 0 still. I was under the impression it does not...

using manual vacuum every day right before use it's gone, only to settle back next day

We have a in ground 25000 gallon vinyl pool with a sand filter that has been running for about a month straight. We have had to SLAM for about a 21 days straight before we opened it very green. Test results: CH: 225 TA: 140 pH: 7.4 CYA: <30 CC: 0.3ppm FC: 4ppm The pool is clear (can tell if...

We're looking to get a safety cover for our pool, all the quotes we've gotten are $4000 (uninstalled) or around there. Wondering if I can just buy a rectangle pool cover (specifically looking at Loop Loc) and install that. Our dimensions are 18' by 36' and the short part of the kidney is 16'...

It looks like you have no chlorine in the pool. Look up SLAM and based off your stabilizer number, you need to SLAM until your pool is clear. If the pool was clear before, you likely don't need to replace your filter/sand.

Thank you!

I think it's a scum collector usually used for hot tubs.

I bought some zorbie's for our hot tub but ended up selling the hot tub, wondering if I can make use of it in our pool? Thanks

I have a ~20,000 gallon pool (irregular shape so not sure about the volume 100%). I'm wondering how long it takes my water to go through the filter once. I have a Hayward 1HP Pump 1.5" Hayward Super Pump 1 HP Inground | Pool Supplies Canada I have a Hayward Sand Filter Model # SP-711-TXC with...

Thank you, that helps a lot to know when it's clear. Will backwash today and add more DE as well.

I've included a before picture and two after pictures. We started SLAM about 14 days ago. I'm not sure what clear means because I can see down to the deep end clearly for the first time. However, I cannot see to the bottom of deep end from a second floor window of the house (first picture), not...

Should I keep the SLAM going? or just wait? We also bought a clarifier, is it worth adding that?
