    I am at my wits end!!!!

    I have a white fiberglass pool. I’m always fighting iron stains. It comes from my water, the red clay that gets dragged in, and who knows where else. And now apparently from my salt!!!!! I did an ascorbic acid treatment recently. Lifted the stains beautifully. My salt was low so I added a bag...

    Help me understand this iron situation.

    So I’ve been struggling with iron staining in my fiber glass pool. I just did an AA treatment with a CUlator in my pump basket. The stains lifted beautifully and my water is balanced nicely now. I had ordered an iron tester and it came today. Iron level in pool water is 0.00. Iron level in my...

    Dolphin cc plus getting stuck in my seats

    I finally splurged and got a dolphin cc plus for my 16x36 ft fiber glass pool. It keeps getting stuck in the bucket seats. I have a set of 2 seats in the deep and shallow end. It seems like it goes straight for the seats constantly but maybe that is my imagination. I was thinking of getting 2...

    2 weeks post AA treatment. How to proceed with FC not holding

    Hey everyone. I did an AA treatment right before Christmas. Now I can’t get my chlorine to hold. Water is too cold for my SWG to work so I’ve been adding chlorine every few days. But every few days it Is always back at 0. There is no visible algae. Water is clear. Should I slam or just increase...

    Stains on new fiberglass pool

    This is my first year with a fiberglass pool. We left it open because we enjoy looking at it. We don’t have too many trees but we have had some leaves and many bugs and worms. I’ve been running my SWG at night for about 8 hours. My FC usually hangs out around 6-7. My water is balanced otherwise...

    Black ring around fiberglass pool

    What can I do to prevent the daily formation of a black ring around my pool. It wipes away easily with a magic eraser. I have a scum star in my skimmer (seems to only collect bugs). My levels are all good. We aren’t wearing a ton of sunscreen but yet it still forms.

    How much should my chlorine level drop a day? And strange yellow spots.

    So I super chlorinated my pool right before going out of town using my SWG (18k gallon salt water fiberglass pool). Then I left It to run for 11 hrs a day at 40%. I was gone 5 days. When I got home yesterday my FC was still 13.5. I turned my chlorine generator to 0% and today it was 11.5 at the...

    High TA with low pH

    So I had to add 7lbs of stabilizer to my pool and I am still learning and missed the step of perfecting TA first. So now my pH is 7.2 and my TA is 110. I’m aerating the pool now and hoping that’ll raise my pH and then I can add MA. Is this the right steps to take? I have a 18,000g fiberglass...

    First timer. Need advice about calcium.

    Hello out there pool world. I have a 18,000 gallon fiberglass pool. At initial start up they added too much salt so our salt levels are still high. It doesn’t bother us swimming but I’m not sure how much it affects our water balance. I received my TF-100 testing kit yesterday. My PH had been...
