Old post but what he is saying about Copper is patently false. Copper is killing legionnaires and staph where chlorine can’t. All you have to do is Google “Copper Silver Ionization”. The EPA says it’s safe to drink 1.3 ppm of ionized copper water. This isn’t new technology, it was developed...

Here we go! I understand silver isn’t oxidizer and the kill time historically has been reported as being way too slow. However, America Society for Microbiology says otherwise (link below) and hospitals are having beds, linens and serving trays infused with copper and/or silver to combat things...

Hi Guys, I have a SwimSpa at my house and have no problems balancing my water but I am adding a new spa to a vacation rental at the beach and the water is green! My Guests will freak out if they see this. It’s actually much greener in person then in the pic. This is not a well, it’s from a...

Spa water is cloudy, I used dealers clarifier to fix bc she told me I absolutely shouldn’t try to SLAM bc it would damage UV system and Ozone Generators. I was told I only need to keep Clorine at 1.0 bc of Ozone and UV cleaning systems. I have used the TFP method for years on an AGP and...

We are 1.5 days in on 5 days of rain and thunderstorms. We put a solar cover on top and thinking maybe I should put the winter cover on? The pool is surrounded by 80-120 foot trees so they are dumping organic materials on top of the solar cover and that coupled with rain is starting to make...

Hello everyone! Hoping for your advice on the pool we just ordered for the summer with grim possibility of not having community pools for summer. We have plans on building a nice gunite pool by next summer so don't want to buy anything unnecessary twice like heater or SWG. Temporary Pool...

Hello All, I have been a long time lurker and feel like I know alot of you from all the reading. We have never owned a pool before so I am struggling with the very basics like size and exactly what features would be best especially with spa. It would be really helpful to know what things you...

I have a 350 galloon Coleman inflatable hot tub and it's only a couple months old. In past I did chemicals all wrong so trying to kicked it off on the right foot this time. I read all the pool school articles but still have a couple of questions. What I have done thus far: 1) flushed system...
