So I just spent days slamming my pool to kill off Algae. My pool is back to being blue, but it’s super cloudy. I’ve been putting DE in my sand pump skimmer in hopes to clear it up, but it doesn’t seem to be changing. Should I go out and buy a clarifier? Haven’t had this issue yet.

Ok. So my CYA is pretty high in my pool. I did the regular test and the test where you mix pool water and faucet water. My CYA is around 120-140. My pool is blue as can be and my FC is at 3. We won’t be using the pool again until around April or May. So my question is how long does CYA take to...

Let me start off by saying I’m about sick of dealing with this pool lol. But with a demanding wife and kid, I have no choice. Anyhow. I was getting ready to cover up the pool for the winter, but had to tackle an algae issue first. My test levels were decent except for PH @8.0 and CYA really...

Just curious where y’all store it. On the box it says cool, dark place, preferably not in the house or the garage, not next to chlorine, etc etc. I live in Texas. There is no such thing as a cool dark place that’s not hot 😆

y’all have always been so helpful and I appreciate it!! With that being said, I’ve been trying to maintain my pool for my son and wife throughout the summer, but with health issues it’s been somewhat difficult 😞 I just want to make sure I’m going in the right direction. My pool is currently...

Can’t get this to water to clear up. I ran my pool through the winter (Houston area) and would periodically brush and vacuum and just kept chlorine tablets in the floater. About 2 weeks ago, it started turning green. So I brushed it good and added half a gallon of liquid chlorine. Pulled the...

Hope everyone has been well. I haven’t posted lately because things have just been crazy. Dealing with health stuff, etc. I have been using liquid chlorine from Walmart (pool essentials) For whatever reason, not a single Walmart around me has any more, even though the shelves were fully...

I’ve looked and can’t find anything. The ones I do find, say they work with a 1.5 inch return. My pool has this for the return. The inner thread is 3 inches and the outer is 4 inches. Has anyone found something that works, or something you have made?

I’m trying to get all of this testing stuff implanted in my head again. It’s literally been since 2009 since we had a pool. With that being said, here are my levels this morning. I’m using the Taylor K-2006 test kit. CYA - 40ppm. I added roughly 10oz of stabilizer in a sock to get my CYA around...

Still have a few more things to get done, but we are loving it so far. I was originally going to do a square around the pool with landscape timbers, but highly thinking about doing a octagon instead. I’ll post more pictures as the work gets done.

Hey guys. We have a Intex 18x48 Prism pool. We are wanting to turn the area around the pool into a beach like theme with sand. But before I do this, will the sand be ok to get tracked in the pool? I know I will have to vacuum it, so that’s not a issue. I guess I’m more concerned about the sand...

Hey guys and gals. I used to be on this site heavy back around 2008. We used to have a intex 15x48 pool. Fast forward to 2016, and we bought a new house. Haven’t really used the backyard much other than barbecuing and a trampoline for our son. We bought a Intex 18x48 prism pool that is...
