Had this pool for 10 years and have never had this problem. Water has been cloudy for over a week and I cannot clear it. It is milky in color and I can barely see the main drain in the deep end which is only 6'. Two days ago I tried using Alum, adding it directly to the skimmer to aid the...

I have a Pentair Amerlite 500w pool light (pictured below) that has been leaking since my pool was built years ago. I did not notice it right away and figured it was something I could fix on my own quite easily...not the case. Here is what I have tried: 1) Bought and installed an...

I noticed yesterday afternoon my water looking a bit yellow. I tested the water and the results were: FC: 2 PH: 7.4 TA: 70 CYA: 55 I had done an AA treatment for iron staining on my liner a couple weeks back and since then the FC had dropped low a few times so, thinking this was organic I...

My third attempt at the AA treatment has again removed my iron stain and Jacks Pink Stuff has kept the stain away for 2 weeks so far. I'm doing weekly treatments with the Jacks Pink to keep the metals sequestered. So I've been told that as long as my fill water is metal free and the iron is...

After struggling with off-the-charts cya levels and 2 drain and fills I got my cya down to 50 but after a month or so of just bleach for chlorine, my cya level has dropped to 30-35. Would it be wise just to switch back to trichlor and dichlor that I have still to raise the cya back a bit or is...

My pool light lens gasket failed and my light filled about 1/3 full of water and now does not work. I thought it burned the bulb out so I bought a new one and it still will not light. I guess the answer is I need a new fixture but I thought I would run it by the experts. I am attaching a photo...

I have done the AA treatment twice, both times following the instructions precisely in this link: ascorbic-treatment-to-rid-pool-of-metal-stains-t2298.html Both times the iron stain has started to return within a week. It's not returning as heavy as it was originally, however I can start to...

Ok so here's the situation....I have a CYA level of 250+. It has been this way for a while. I had a "professional" tell me "not to worry about it" a long time ago:( I have not tested for copper yet, however since my 7 year olds blond hair is turning green and any white bathing suits are...

I have a large and very strong retriever who has chipped my fiberglass stairs by standing on them and pushing off to chase tennis balls in the pool. I have three pea sized holes in the first layer of the fiberglass. They are not causing water loss however they look terrible and have fairly...

So after 2 years of trouble free running, my Hayward superpump developed a slow leak and I figured it was the housing gasket or the ceramic seal. After some internet research and talking to Leslies, I figured it was the seal so I replaced it myself following an instructional video. Still...

New here but have been reading up on my problem a bit here and other forums and blogs. This seems like the most knowledgeable so here we go. I've read quite a bit and it seems most people feel these are either caused by metals in the water or are biological. I haven't had my water tested at...
