We inherited the pool. We’ve only been here about 9 months. Pool is 40 years old but decking is only a few years old. We get a lot of foundation movement here so I’m sure it’s trying to move around. Thanks for your help.

Here is a pic of a piece of the concrete that has chipped off above the water line. Does it look like it has the concrete collar? Figured this picture might help you see what’s behind it. I do see some green/fiberglass color in there. @ajw22

Can you give me an example of what you mean by “plastic strip?” Also, won’t leaving it open result in water getting behind the fiberglass? And if so, is that something I need to prevent? Thank you so much!

I’ve attached pictures of some significant cracks that have formed between the grout line and the concrete above it. How should we fix this? Should we use clear caulking so it can move more freely? Or do we need to add more grout, even though it could crack again? Our foundation does have...

Thanks for your help! I currently use liquid chlorine. I’m not on a well. I just uploaded a new set of chemical logs. Let me know what you think — thanks so much!! Chris

The grout is brown. That’s what alerted me. Yes, I brush once a week including tile.

I’ve been noticing a discoloration of the grout around my pool just below the water line between tiles. I’m pretty consistent at keeping the chemicals at the right level and so I wasn’t sure what it might be. The tile was redone only about a year ago, so I’ve been a little disappointing it’s...

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I do plan to leave it open but wanted to make sure I needed the anti-freeze device the pool guy was talking about or if I needed to do anything else to treat the pool for winter. What do you think about the anti-freeze device? Thanks so much!!

Hello, I’m a new pool owner and so thankful for this group. I think our swimming season here is about over and I’m preparing for colder temperatures. I wanted to send a picture of my equipment and ask what, if anything, I need to do for winter? A pool guy told me I might need some kind of...

How would you recommend getting to the 300-350ppm number? Should I dump the 26lbs in all at once or over time? Any recommendations on what to use or where to buy it? Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! The fiberglass pool company who gel coated my pool recommended CH of 300-350ppm. Thoughts on this?

This community has been so helpful in my pool journey so far. I’ve been managing my pool for about a month now and what I’ve learned here has been so valuable. My fiberglass pool was drained last week by a pool company and a new gel coat was applied to the fiberglass. It took about 1.5 days...

Should I put the cya and chlorine in before it’s filled up or wait until it’s half way up skimmer area? Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Hello, A Fiberglass company just drained my pool and put a new gel coat on. I’m refilling it now. When it is filled up, do I need to put more DE in it or should there already be enough in the filter since I haven’t backwashed since they did it? Also, anything I need to do about existing water...
