    cristalized algae?

    yes i had, its been raining so hard here in s.Florida that is almost impossible to keep a good FC and ph, we had rain for 2 weeks in a row, plus 2 days ago we had almost 4 inches of rain and a lot of flooding I even had to drain the pool because it was spilling over from all the rain.

    .. the Leslie's product in question is a silicone base product, I have it and is a waste of $ IMO, it becomes very tacky under high temps. As per olive oil, it is a natural oil that prevents 2 surfaces separated by a gasket, seal or packing, from becoming stuck together for easy removal...(an...

    filling up pool

    Hello everyone, I have a question regarding water evaporation. When filling my pool with municipal water, say about 4'' I guess about 300 or so gallons, do I need to adjust my chlorine, ph and ta? Does adding that much water affect the chemistry of the pool? Should I add chlorine, say 2 cups...

    I will post a pic for you. I've measured the temp inside the liquidator with a digital thermometer and it was 78.9 at 2 pm last Saturday, then at 5:30 pm and it was 78.6, so I think the shield is working. My box sits in the middle of the sun for about 6 hours and the temps inside are stable...

    Pump basket lid will not come off.

    I tell you, Leslie's products are something to be question......the problem with Leslie's lube is that it becomes very sticky with high temps, I too, had the same problem removing the top of the filter cover and the basket cover, they will not bulge, and end up breaking the top of the filter...
