QUICK BACKGROUND = We've lived in our pool home for one-year and our levels are always spot-on. I check and adjust every M, W, & F. We've never shocked and never done more than add a little acid or alk increaser. Recently we've had some serious rain, and our FC zeroed out for a day. We've been...

Beautiful set up, sorry mother nature hit you so hard. We had the same thing happen in Melbourne, FL. Looks like everyone here has you covered on how to clean up. Here's what I did after it happened to us, maybe this will help in the future. 1) I cut the tops off my channel drains. Now they...

That hole looks a lot like the hole we had. We went with a Pentair Globrite LED. It was an easy install, and so-far-so-good for us. Here's a link. Amazon.com : Pentair 602054 Water Pool and Spa Globrite, 12V, 50 ft : Garden & Outdoor

I initially thought I had a light dusting of algae, but as I've researched more, I'm wondering if it is mottling in the new plaster. It's too light to capture in photos, but I will post updates as I look into it a little more in hopes that this thread might help someone else.

Hi, I got the 2005, but your question has me second guessing that choice. My current kit doesn't have a test for CYA, which is what pushed me to order a more complete kit.

Please scroll down for update. Hello, I joined the pool world and forum last July when we bought our house w/pool (see sig for details). We had it replastered, which took from July - October because of the high water table. Since completion in October, I brush and check the levels every...

Hi! My wife and I are new to the forum and new to pool ownership. We never thought we would get it together enough to own a decent house, but we just bought a nice house with a pool. We're both very hands-on and not afraid of some trial-and-error to get this pool in shape. We're counting on...
