I currently have a Hayward Max-Flo High-Performance Pump, Model SP2807x10 1HP. We have always run it 24/7, but have recently installed a timer so we can turn off the pump during the night. Any recommendations for a new pump? Hayward suggested the Hayward EcoStar variable speed pump, but I...

I have close to 4 full (big) bottles of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier. I have not used it since I converted to the BBB Method. Do I have a need for Clarifier or should I get rid of it? I use to buy it when I would get phosphates and the "pool people" told me to use it when they sold me the...

On Friday, I added water to my pool because I thought it looked a little low. We had an all day rain on Saturday and the level was about an inch from the top of the skimmer. I just checked the water, and it looks like the level has dropped about 2 inches. I'm just sick about this. How can...

My Dirt Devel Pro V has seen it's last day. I am thinking about upgrading to the Dolphin Atlantis. Anyone have one of these? If so, what is your opnion? Or, any other suggestions?

I am new to this wonderful site this year. I know it's early, and I just got my water "Pool dealer" free from all their chemicals by using the BBB method. At the end of next month or the beginning of October, I will have to close the pool. I live in Ohio and winters are totally unpredictable...

I have worked very hard to clear up my pool from the nice green it turned over the 4th of July weekend, and succeeded last week! I purchased the TF100 test kit and have been doing everything I am suppose to do to keep my pool clear and safe. I passed the OCLT test and have been enjoying my...
