Heard what sounded like short cycling back at pool equipment pad. Found heater having a "sw open" error. Did some googling. I've cleaned sand filter which I knew wasn't an issue because I had just done it. Both skimmers seem to be pulling water in just fine so I'm just assuming the switch is...

Might be a dumb question but ......is it ok to use pool salt that has sat around and gotten hard as a rock?

Been having A LOT of air in my returns. Have done leak test on suction side with no results. Found however that if I turn salt cell off the bubbles stop, as soon as I turn it on the bubbles return. I understand that the salt cell with create some bubbles because of the chlorine reaction however...

Is there a better medium than just regular sand? In particular a medium that will capture out calcium or calcium flakes?

Any idea what these are? Pool is only 1 year old. There are a couple more spots in pool as well that are in areas that are not high traffic areas. So I don't believe it's a scratch or scuff marks.

I have air that is in my return lines. Pool is 1 year old. 7000 gallon, swg. Pics of equipment below. I have had builder out multiple times over course of the past year to try to find the leak. So far no success. They've tested the 3 return lines via pressure test and came back ok. They tested...

We were trying a skimmer sock for about the past 4 days and have this strange blue stuff in it. Here's a picture. It's not part of the skimmer sock as it's way to dark of a blue. We have a blue fiberglass pool. Any thoughts as to what this might be?

What effects on the pool chemistry does the pool antifreeze have?
