Greetings fellow pool junkies! First, a fun little diddy before I dive into my question. I believe I found one of the only honest employees at the "L" store today! OK, in fairness, most are not dishonest but rather uninformed and taught the "pool store way" (meaning $$$ for their overlords)...

Hey, hope you all are having a happy new year! Bit of a dilemma. The week before Christmas, I woke to hear a humming noise outside of my bedroom window. That is where my pool pad is. Ran out and discovered it was coming from the pool pump. Between the holidays, work, and two outpatient medical...

So finally got all my parts in and am reconfiguring my pad with a new filter after February Texas Freeze. Because of broken piping, I had to cut my 2" return pipe below the water level. I waited for the water to level out and was able to glue on a coupling since my PVC primer and cement would...

Greetings... Site has been immense help thus far. Just bought K-2006 test kit and salt test strips from TFTestKits. Yes, was thinking of going with the TF-100 but I have had a K-2005 for years and am used to the testing methods, even though the FC is new with the DPD-FAS. Very good to have...

Greetings all... I am happy to have found this site with such a wealth of information for the DIY pool care homeowner. I need a new testing kit and that speedstirrer looks like the bomb, so I will be purchasing those through the owner of this site to hopefully show my appreciation for keeping...
