I think I found the issue. The irrigation system for my yard has been using about 284 gallons per day! Just turned that down so hopefully that was the problem.

New home and pool owner, and just got my the first water usage bill for my house. Since it's a lot higher than expected, I'm thinking the pool is resulting in water use, even though I have the auto level set to below the pool level. Does running the pump or the heater result in water being...

Mark's suggestion of using the hose feeding my Polalris worked perfectly. I was able to drain the pool by 2 inches and the skimmer is now working perfectly.

Not currently, but I'll be upgrading the electrical in my house for a Kitchen remodel, so I could definitely add this if it made sense.

It's pretty windy in my area (at least recently), so I keep the cover on mainly to avoid debris getting into the pool.

Ok, I'll do that once the sun goes down and report back tomorrow. Is it ok to cover the pool immediately after adding the chlorine, or should I wait a little bit? Also, how long should I leave the pump on after I add?

I've done some research and I don't think I'd be looking at a heat pump since those seem to be geared more towards maintaining a higher overall temp in the pool. I'm more looking at on demand heating just for my spa. I found a few electric heaters that resemble tankless water heaters. Maybe...

Oh man, awesome suggestion. I have a robot cleaner, so I can definitely give this a shot.

Looking for a bit of help here as my FC levels are dropping to zero each morning. On Saturday, I started at these parameters: FC 0 CC 0 TC 0 CH 175 TA 90 CYA 30 pH 7.3 I added 55oz of 13% liquid chlorine at around 2pm and tested FC and PH: FC 4.0 PH 7.3 At 4 pm, I added 5lbs of Calcium...

My skimmer isn't working effectively and I think my water level is too high. I'd like to lower my water level by an inch or 2, but my filter doesn't have a 3 way valve feeding into the filter like I've seen in many videos on how to do this. I have a valve exiting from my heater which might be...

What are some potential downside to converting from a natural gas heater to electric? I just moved into a house with a pool and Solar Panels (not a solar pool heater). After living here for a month, I've heated the pool/hot tub 4 times and ended up incurring a $160 gas bill from doing that...

Pool is covered every night and usually during the day unless we're swimming or cleaning. The pool is pretty full (actually a little bit more full than I want because I have too much of the pool water washing into the hot tub) so I don't think I need to add any.

Thanks guys. I just tested my sink water and CH is 150, so I'll use bleach or liquid chlorine to increase my FC levels. I was thinking of doing a SLAM as I thought that was the best way to get back into parameters if things were off, but I'm glad to just work my way into the target ranges...

Hi all, I just purchased a house with a pool, and I'd like to take over maintenance instead of continuing the service that the previous owners were paying for. I've been reading the forums quite a bit to get oriented, but need some help on figuring out which chemicals to buy and if I need to...
