So I'm planning to open our pool in the next few weeks. This will be our third season after buying the house in 2019. This opening makes me the most nervous as this will be the first time opening the pool after having closed the pool myself last winter for the first time. Previous two season...

I’m attempting to blow out my pool lines and I’m not having any luck. I have an I in-ground pool with 1 skinner, 2 return jets, and one main drain. I have the sand filter set to recirculate. I have a pancake compressor with a 6 gallon tank that charges up to 150 psi. I opened the two drain...

Past two seasons we hired a pool guy to close our pool, this season we are going to close it ourselves, and I have mostly everything I need. My one question involves blowing out the lines. We have a Pentair SuperFlo VS pool pump. What fitting should I look for to plug in my air compressor to...

So, I have a new Pentair SuperFlo VS pump. We were originally going to wire it to our existing 115v power that the old pump was hooked to. After some research though we decided instead to run a brand new 230 line from our main box to the pump's location. The manual recomends/suggests a...

I have a new pump ordered and hopefully it'll be here soon. I bought a Pentair SuperFlo VS 1 1/2HP thanks to the advice in my other post. I also ordered a flowmeter to help dial in the RPM's needed to stay within my Sand filter's Max flow rate of 60GPM. We are also going to update al the...

Ok this may be a dumb question, but I want to make sure I'm doing things in the proper order. Last season (our first summer) we had the pool opened for us. This year with our pool renovation I'm doing the opening myself. We had swim ready pool water trucked in to fill our inground gunite...

Ok, so we had our pool renovated and they finished it last Thursday. We had all new coping stones installed, and all new wall tiles. It's a Gunite Pool, that holds 24,000 Gallons. Friday we had swim ready pool water trucked in. So it was anti-climatic going from excitement of having our pool...

This is an idea I've tossed around for a while. I've been thinking about hosting dive in movie nights. My pool is 32' x 18' so I'd use the width to project the movies. One side of the pool butts up to the side of the garage making it a good spot to set up the screen. The opposite side has...

As a newbie when it comes to pool maint. and chemistry I have to admit I'm struggling to get my head around how it all works. When we opened the pool this year (our first season) the water was surprisingly clear and the chlorine and Ph according to the liquid tests, and the water has stayed...

Hi, my wife and are new to owning/operating a pool. We recently moved and bought a house that has an 18' x 32' in ground gunite pool. To give some background neither of us have ever had or owned a pool before so there has definitely been a learning curve, but, one we are enjoying. It's so...
