This may be a dumb question, but this is really driving me crazy so I am hoping you guys can help. The last few times I have cleaned out my pump filter basket, I have had a lot of trouble getting the lid back on the container for the filter basket. I am not technical so forgive my lack of...

Hi All, I have read that you all like pictures, and my family and I just finished staining our 30' x 40' deck that surrounds our 30' x 15' AGP. We made the choice apply the stain all by hand as I did not want to risk getting any in the pool, and had some issues maintaining a wet edge when I...

First off, I want to thank you all for being such a great resource. My pool season last year was a dream....no outbreaks, in fact, did not even have to shock the pool one time after I got it up and running using the BBB system. This is my first season that I have opened the pool after using...

I am confused. I thought I had this all figured out, but now I am unsure. First off, here are my numbers: FC - 2.5 CC - b/t 0 and 0.5 PH - 7.5 CH - 80 TA - 90 CYA - 40 Here is what has me confused. Last night I added a ton of CalHypo. I tested the water about 2 hours after adding it (a...

I have mounted a pair of Yamaha outdoor speakers (and boy do they sound good) and run the outdoor speaker wires under my deck to my screened patio where I have my receiver. Everything looks good with one exception...the speaker wire run from the speaker to under the deck. I tried using brown...

I got my K-2006C test kit yesterday and have been doing some testing to try to get my levels normalized. I have them at pretty good levels: FC - 5.5 CC - 0.0 pH - 7.7 TA - 120 CH - 70 CYA - 20 I am in the process of adding CYA via trichlor pucks that I was given by my pool installer and my...

This is my first season running my 15x30 oval above ground vinyl pool after getting it installed very late in the season last year. I opened it and had a minor algae breakout, but have been able to get that under control and my water has been crystal clear for a couple of weeks now. However, I...
