I noticed that my pool equipment stops working if the pool cleaner is not attached. I’m assuming this happens because the cover to the air cleaner inlet closes once detached and prevents any water flow. How then can I keep the equipment running if I want the cleaner detached?

What’s the best method when adding chlorine and acid? Should I add at the same time or should I wait a certain amount of time before adding another chemical? Also, does it matter in which order I add the chemicals, i.e., chlorine first, acid second?

I have an old CP-2000 system controller by Compool. It’s been programmed to turn off the equipment by a certain time, and for whatever reason the pump keeps running when it’s supposed to shut off. It worked perfectly fine when I first moved in to this house, but now I have to turn on/off my...

I have a raised spa and I’ve noticed that sometimes the spa water level gets really low (especially after the kids have been splashing in there). I normally just fill it up with the garden hose, but shouldn’t this be automatic once the pool filter is running? I have an auto fill and it seems to...

Hi TFP Family. I recently moved to a new house and inherited a chlorine pool. Pebble finish is only 2 years old. WhisperFlow pump (looks old) and a CP-2000 by Compool controller inside the house. I’ve noticed algae forming on the walls. It brushes off easily, but need some advice on how to...

Hello TFP Family, I have landscaping lights that require a regular outlet for them to be plugged in to. Is it possible to add an outlet to a circuit on the Easytouch system that way I can control my lights thru the app? I added a photo of the current wiring. Any advice would be wonderful.

My pool people are charging me $100 to clean my filter. Does this require special chemicals or tools? Can I do this myself?

Hi TFP Family. My tile guy did not install tile on the bottom of the skimmer (please see photo). Does the skimmer need tile or will I be ok without it?

Hi TFP family, My wife and I just finished building our pool in San Diego, California. - The next step is the PebbleTec and then we are ready to fill the pool with water. I heard we must wait to add salt to the pool for at least 30 days so we don't damage the PebbleTec. Is this true? If so...
