    Continued cloudiness - need help!

    I had algae the week of July 4 and have never been back to crystal clear after SLAMming. Was a little cloudy yesterday and more cloudy today. Added some chlorine this morning. Here’s my numbers. Any thoughts or suggestions? I know CYA is high, but would rather not replace 10,000 gallons...

    When to balance after SLAM?

    My SLAM is complete, and I'm letting the chlorine levels drop. My hardness and alkalinity are a little low. At what point should I work to balance these? Chlorine is down to 9.6 today, so I'm within target but I will try to let it settle between 7 and 8. Last test results: FC - 9.6 CC - 0 pH -...

    Help! Green!

    Hi all - I was away for a couple days this week and while I was gone it rained pretty hard.

    SWG conversion cost?

    Hi - I just got a quote to install a Pentair IC40 and connect it to my Intelliconnect controller. At about $3,500 (plus salt) it was considerably more than I expected based on the price of the hardware. Is this reasonable? Is it worth the upfront cost?

    Self install new sand filter?

    Hi - I have a (very) old DE filter that's starting to fail. I want to replace with a new sand filter, but have had challenges getting people to reply and provide quotes. How hard is this to install? My biggest concern is the valves, which are right at ground level. I've done some PVC plumbing...

    Hi - I have painted concrete coping that's dirty (see photo) - any suggestions for a cleaner that won't impact pool chemistry? Thanks!
