I have two of them and they work good. Need to use their skimmer socks. Paint strainer socks won't work, at least I couldn't get them to work.

I recently bought the Skim Around All in One skimmer baskets and they work much better than my old skimmer baskets. I haven't found an alternative to their skimmer socks just yet. My old ones won't work with the new baskets and circulation is better too with these new baskets. - - - Updated -...

In California fighting palm trees that were planted last year. Glad to be here Coverstar pool cover automatic, but not using it now due to pollen and algae build up on it If anyone knows of a cover cleaner let me know (besides Coverstar)

The water does mix. Thanks for the responses.

I have read about borates and it sounds like a great idea. I have a salt pool (fiberglass) and chlorine spa (fiberglass) that are not connected, but share the same filtration system (jandy 4 cartridge ). Will it still work with borates, since I know I will end up with some in the spa as well

I understand.. just reminds me how money I have wasted at the pool store is all.. now trying to decide between the entire test kit or two separate test kits in addition to the one I currently have. Going back to scrubbing the tile once the sun goes down here. It's so hot.

I posted the water chemistry results and got spanked more or less for the results.. looking into getting another test kit also posted a link on photobucket to see the pictures of the equipment and pool/spa on water chemistry forum

I am not happy with the numbers either. It is a professional Taylor k-1005. I would be happy to take a photo of the information sheet for you to read. I have taken several pics and changed them to .pdf but they are still in the 500kb to 600kb range. Is there another way to send them to you...

Sounds great.. thanks so much. Trying Scale Remover on the tile right now.. tried Acid Magic but no discernable results yet likely due to higher water level on the tile presently. Getting algae along the upper edges of the deep end that brush off easily. Trying to keep the bees and other...

thanks for the two replies. Will get the report numbers soon. The pool company did sell us Phos Free etc now brushing sides three times a week and vacuuming same but may need to do more since we live by a major river and walnut grove, which comes with all the bugs and critters you might...

Have a built in Viking Pool going on 6 years now Fiberglass pool and spa. Joined to learn more about pool chemistry since problems are now surfacing having to do with algae and phosphates. Some spots showing up on fiberglass and dealing with ugly grout and tile buildup. So lots to work on...
