Hi everyone, My pool is scheduled to open in about 4 weeks. I just had a look today, and it's already turning green. I guess it's due to the very mild winter we had in the GTA this year. My question is, should I add any liquid chlorine to get the process started to kill the algae? Does the...

Hi Guys, Yesterday, when I went to use the pool, I noticed that on my shallow end, I had a spongy section that looked like a wrinkle. Stepping on it would move it back into place. I guess water somehow managed to get behind the liner. Not sure how this happened since my drywell is empty, and I...

Hi guys, I'm starting to notice what looks like rust stains around my pool equipment shed. I think it's because I didn't install any gutters, and the water runoff is causing it. Does anyone know of any good products that can remove it? I've tried baking soda and vinegar, but it didn't work.

My pool is a 14x24 rectangle, not counting the steps. Any issues in getting a solar cover that does not cover the steps? I can get a rectangle that comes in 14x24 quite easily.

It looks like my sheer is starting to have some water scale. What do you guys use to remove it? Is there anything safe that I can use that will not kill the liner?

This is my second year with my pool, and last year after the pool was finished I had full flow on the waterfall and never needed the pump at %100. I think I had the pump at %70/%80 when the waterfall was on. This year since opening the pool I have struggle to get the same flow. Below is what the...

It's just a curiosity thing. I have been clear and in range since opening my pool and killing all my algae. I stopped by our local pool store this week to buy some Moratic acid and had them test the water. I was surprised by how similar the results were. My question comes from them telling me...

I wanted to adjust my returns, and looks like I have Hayward Hydrostream Directional Flow. Are these adjustable? They look like this one, but in Grey...

Currently, I have my SWG running at %35 for 24hrs. If I were to only run the pump during the day, would the SWG generate the same chlorine but in 12 hours instead of 24hrs? Or do I have to increase the %? I have a schedule that I can set for the SWG to match the pump runtime.

I have a Hayward - Turbo Cell - T-CELL-3 and on the Hayward website it says it generates up to 1.45 lbs per day. When I use the pool math APP, I select the (Aqua Rite (T-3) which I assume is the same cell, but it's listed at 0.53 lbs per day. Is this what I should be selecting? The only Turbo...

I read the PH at 8.2 but I’m having trouble with the chlorine. Based on the picture what do you read? Also how quickly do you need to take the reading.

My T-Cell-3 was only used for 2 months last year before the pool was closed. I opened the pool about 2 weeks ago, and I cannot get my salt reading up. Omni Logic is only detecting 1500PPM and will not generate Chlorine because of the low salt warning. I'm waiting on my Taylor Pool salt kit to...

Hi Guys, This is my first year with a pool and I have some questions when to clean my filter. Below is what my gauges look like after opening the pool. Do I clean the filter when the small pointer hits the green marker? I have no trees, and my pool builder is telling me I might only need to...

I have been on the hunt for a good Taylor kit but it’s very hard to find them in Canada for under $200 plus shipping. What I can find is a Taylor K1004. I was thinking of picking one up and also taking water every two weeks to my local pool store. Do you think this will be enough? My local pool...

Hi guys, My pool builder configured my variable speed pump to run for 24hrs in the following schedule. I have an OmniLogic system, and the pool is about 12000 Gallons (24x14). Is this a proper schedule for a SWG pool. 9AM to 5PM = Running at 55% 5:02PM to 8:58am = Running at 65%

I have a Hayward cartridge pool filter in my shed. When the drain plug is removed, the shed gets flooded. Any ideas how I can remove the water from the filter and not flood the shed? The shed has no drain. Is there another method of removing the water without using the drain plug on the filter?

Hi Guys, I'm scheduled to open on April 29th, and I noticed yesterday that my pool is starting to look light green. Should I do anything before opening day? Or not much I can do until the water is moving again. This is a saltwater pool. Thanks,

We just had warm weather here in Ontario, Canada followed by rain. I decided to look at the water level and the pool is frozen to the cooping. It's raining again, and tonight we are going back to a deep freeze. Do I need to do anything? This is my first year with a pool, and I'm worried that...

This is my first year with a pool. I live in Milton Ontario Canada. Just outside of Toronto. At closing my pool company filled up my pool to almost normal summer level. They did this because my yard does not drain water well and my sump pit keeps on getting allot of water. They said this would...
