A friend gave me a pile of pool and spa chemicals. Amongst the collection was 3 unlabeled 3" white pucks in clear plastic wrap. They were not sure what they are. I suspect it is chlorine, and they look exactly like the trichlor pucks that I have, however those have a distinct smell to them...

Hello. We have a 20x40 tarp style winter pool cover that is held down with water bags. I understand the process for draining the water off and cleaning it. My problem is I have nowhere to lay it out to dry. My front yard is small, as is my driveway. The back yard outside of my pool area is...

Hi everyone. I've searched high and low and I can't find a good answer to this. I recently bought a house with a saltwater pool that has a Paramount Vanquish in-floor cleaning system. I had a pool company open the pool for me and the pool guy mentioned whoever closed the pool did not properly...
