I pulled the plug on the Warrior SE from Marina. En route now. I will give a report when I take her on her maiden voyage!

Hi! I know the recommendation around here is to call Marina in Colorado about a pool robot. I am going to do that tomorrow, but I also wondered if there are any recommendations or advice other than that. I am looking for a robot so I don't have to vacuum any more. Vacuuming is the main thing I...

Hello, This is where I am now: FC 10 CC 0 CYA 40 PH 7.5 ALK 100 CA ? Purple with kit K2006 My pool is barely cloudy still. You can see the bottom perfectly, but I can tell it's not crystal clear. There is pollen about, and I'm getting some sand coming back through the returns. I backwashed...

Just wondering and trying to learn. Like when someone is posting in here about a green pond, and the suggestion is to add a gallon of bleach daily to start. Why not add a lot more than that?

Hello Maddie, Is is indeed a custom shaped pool. Interesting location too, at the back of the property behind trees. I've even had a pool company come and then leave because they couldn't find it! The previous owner of my house was terminally ill, so I'm pretty sure the bar was for low impact...

Taken the other day...

Hi! This site is such a fantastic resource. I am starting my second summer with an in ground pool. Last summer was my first, I had a new liner installed and all new water delivered. I pretty much winged it by adding chlorine almost daily and using testing strips. I adjusted pH and added a little...
