    Yellowing Of White Pool Components

    Hi All - Have not posted since my pool start up, but just finished my second summer in my pool, and I am noticing a yellowing of many of my white plastic pool components. Correct me if I’m wrong, but water chemistry has been pretty decent, aside from an upwardly drifting pH, that I knock down...

PB and plaster sub were of the opinion that it was dirt that settled on the fresh plaster during our fill. I came home from work...

    Leaves and Pressure Side v. Robot Cleaner

    Hi All! Long time reader, first time poster. New build just started in Texas (DFW). I hope to start a true build thread soon, but had a quick question - PB is suggesting pressure-side over a robot cleaner due to the large number of leaves that will find their way into my pool due to a heavily...

    Very new to pools...Need advice (build started 5/30/20)

    Hi Chris - I am in your town and am about 2 weeks behind you building a similar-sized pool. I can tell we are using the same PB based on your description. I am excitedly following your progress! Can't wait to see more pictures, it looks very nice so far!
