    Used Hayward Sand Filter

    Pool is just finished filling, and I have a leak low on the out side. Do I need to drain it to patch it up? It is the inflatable ring type 18x4 feet

    New to pools - afraid of Algae

    Greetings, I am looking at opening my pool for the second time, more scared than the first. I have yet to bring it out, clean and prepare it. Last year I battled Algae at least three times, I would like avoid that this time. I have a Walmart test kit, and have seen so many recommended...
