Hello, I have an older Zodiac Polaris 2hp 240v metal spa blower 1-566-03 that bit the dust. It really was over powering for our spa but the kids loved it. It only powers the 4 floor jets in the bottom of our spa not the side jets. I want to exchange it with the 1.5hp 1-516-03 hoping that...

I would like to get some feedback/reviews on this new product. This does not add any CYA and is a calcium based product. Does anyone know how much calcium is added per 3" tab? The pricing looks to be little high at this point but this may have potential in my case since I need to add 10lbs of...

Hello All, How much MA would be required over time to drop my TA from 80ppm to 50ppm in a 900 gallon hot tub? I want to add boric acid once the TA gets down to around 50ppm without having to test TA all the time prior. Thanks Will

Hello, I have a pool and spa with overflow. We just closed the pool and have the spa open. I want to continue using the BBB method. It looks like I should add some borax to increase my Borates to 50ppm according to Chem Geek from a previous post. Is this right?? The pool calculator...

I know this has been debated before but just want to get a clearer answer in my mind. Right now I have a CYA of 70ppm and keep my FC at a 8ppm target (Use the TF-100). I want to use less of the regent so instead of 10ml I want to use 5ml of water sample. Can I use 5ml and count each drop as...

Hi Guys, We have a pool slide that I'm not sure of the type but attached a photo. The water ports on the sides are like a cheese grater. We have had two people get scratched when going down and rubbing on them. Are there any caps or new ports that won't scratch people? Thanks!

Hi Guys, I have learned a lot from you guys after opening my pool this year. Unfortuantley I'm not home all the time and need to use my auto chlorinator with some Lesie's pool 3" pucks. When I opened my pool they had me put in 6lbs of stabilizer after a fresh fill. I also had some...
