When I add my test results, then click on chlorine for example, and go to suggested amount to reach target. I log addition "suggested amount" and it saves fine. When I go to my Log, the suggested amount isn't logged, it shows -1oz of bleach. Every time.

I renewed my subscription, not working. I tried to log out and back in. No luck.

Stopped by my house today and saw this in the pump basket. Is this a gasket from a union? I don't see any leaks. It would have to be from the suction connection, right?

Are we looking for when the color just changes or when the blue can't get anymore blue? It seems to be about 3-4 drops from when it just changes until it won't change anymore. My water is pretty hard out here. I'm trying to determine if it's 500 or 600. Also when it first changes I have those...

My pool is about 2 1/2 years old and have been using the TFP method since about month 2 or 3. My question is regarding water line hard water deposits. Our water is hard in our area, all our indoor fixtures have the wonderful hard water build up. The pool I carefully watch all the levels...

I paid the renewal on autopay but the app is asking me to upgrade to premium?? Something isn't right

I never paid much attention to pools, if they were not green and not freezing I considered it good. Even cloudy water I figured was just soap or something. Now that I know how clean and clear a pool can be I am amazed how bad so many are. Got this ad in the mail, the pool has calcium around the...

Finally got the Taylor sample sizer. I thought it was a waste of money until I used it. It is so nice not having to add a little, pour some out, add a little more, too much…. Seems like an under appreciated tool in the kit if you test a lot.

Anyone noticed LC shortages? I noticed Walmart is running low and Home Depot was completely out. Tablets are plentiful everywhere is the strange part. I’ve seen some news articles about tablet shortages but nothing about liquid. Prices are also on the rise faster than Walmart cares to change...

Been religiously testing and dosing my pool since I slammed it last October. We had the first really hot few days in a row with over 100 degree days. Water is still in the 80s. Yesterday evening I noticed a very small green spot in a top corner just at the water line, maybe an inch or 2 down...

Totally safe, right?

Is this always a no? I’ve had my pool about 18months and they never told me not to. I’m pretty surprised actually. I hope nothing has been screwed up from my constant messing with the valves. I figured it was bad at max speed but thought it was common practice to move them with the pump on. Why...

I’m still pretty new but I hate the sound of my pump running at max speed. It just sounds excessive and stressful. Reading the manual it says to adjust the max speed for plumbing... It only runs on max for prime (30 seconds) and quick clean. Hayward VS950 2” PCV in and out of pump. Any benefit...

After using the spa is there a reason to switch to pool mode to equalize the temperature with the pool before shutting down the pump? I normally use the spa at night and it would be off for 8-10hrs after use.

I have been having this problem for a month or so. I get small patches of algae on the walls once in a while. Today it has been hot with the solar cover on and when I took it off I had a couple spots. One on the shallow wall by the sun shelf and some on the wall by the shallow spa step. All test...

I took my solar cover off this morning to check chemicals and brush and was disappointed to see a green spot on the small 10” deep section of pool wall on the shelf. It was bright green and maybe 3”x10”. It immediately came off with one swipe of the brush. I checked chemicals and all are in...

I know most say to pour LC in front of a return with the pump on but I keep a solar cover on with a cutout for the spa spillover. Is it fine to pour the LC into the stream of the waterfall? It’s about 3’ deep there and seems like it would be mixed pretty well. A return jet is also about 2’ to...

I have some scuffs on the corners and steps of my white plaster pool from the black robot falling around and maybe some kids toys. They come off pretty easy by hand with a heavy duty scotchbrite pad. Normal brushing does nothing. Am I doing any harm by scrubbing the spots with the pad? Plaster...

Recently got a Dolphin Nautilus and is doing a great job with cleaning but in a few spots where it gets extreme angles climbing steps or in a corner I can see where the black corner bumpers are leaving marks on our white plaster. Anyone had this issue? They don’t come off easily with a brush...

Our pool was finished a couple months ago. Been lurking trying to figure out what to do. Thanks for all the free advice. I’m following the advice and pool is crystal clear. Hope to keep it that way.
