Filled my new spa yesterday and we are using bromine. This morning Ph is high along with high alkalinity. Have added PH decreaser with no effect on ph or alkalinity. Also, notice a blue rings to the water now. Any suggestions?

I won’t get into the drama with this hot tub, but can I leave the circulation pump running and shut off the breaker to the heater? We had a repair done and they ended up breaking the cavana cover so we are waiting for that to get repaired. The cover doesn’t close all the way so I don’t really...

I have a 3HP pentaire variable speed pump intelliflo. My pool is chlorine and 37,000 gallons. What would be a good speed for my pump. The person that opened my pool has it set at 3400. I just recently realized that is probably way to high and I am not looking forward to my energy bill. Could...

I seem to be the problem child around here mostly because I know nothing. I tried vacuuming my pool this afternoon and the vacuum head came loose and the hose ended up out of the pool and sucked in some air. I turned off my pump right away, but lost prime. I have a sand filter, chlorine pool...

My pentaire gas heater works. However, when it reaches the temp I set on the easy touch and heater instead of shutting off it will say 70 degrees, and the service button comes on. It appears to blow out colder air from the vent so I do think it stops heating. I don’t know if this is normal. I...

This meter was running at about 70 since our pool opening. After leaving the cover open today to add chemicals, it went down a lot. I cleaned skimmer baskets. Any thoughts why this gage would go down?

First time pool owner here again. Do I leave the pump running when I clean out my pool skimmer basket? I have seen both answers online. Some say shut off the pump and others say leave it on. My plan is to pull out baskets and dump them and put them back. Anything else I need to know? Thanks in...

Is this bubble supposed to be full of water after a rinse of my sand filter? Maybe I didn’t rinse long enough?

Has anyone tried the Polaris IQ plus? We have a 37,500 gallon pool so I believe we will need a large robot. Any thoughts? I am a first time pool owner and know nothing. This bot is through our pool store and expensive. Are there better/cheaper ones that would work? Thanks!

We are in for several days of rain. Should I leave the cover pump on my automatic cover while it’s raining? The pump plug sits outside so I am not sure if this is safe, but don’t want to damage the cover either. It’s a little giant pump. Thoughts?

I am a new pool owner and I am looking for recommendations for a robotic pool vacuum. I would like to get something that will last a little while even if it’s a little more expensive. Thanks !
