Have had ABG for many many years. Had to get rid of it due to wife's medical problems, couldn't climb ladder! Now she is a "little" better and trying to talk me into hot tub. Just got rid of the pool. My question = How much trouble maintaining water balance? Let me mention that IM 78 years old...

Have a question regarding pool pattern memory. Is there any robotic cleaner out there that really remembers the cleaning pattern of your pool? I have a Dolphin S50 for my AGP, had for 3 seasons now and it seems that every time I put it in , it's a new adventure for it? It does clean the pool in...

Have had my AG pool for the past 27 years. Every year upon opening ,normal pressure of gauge was reading 10 or 12 lbs. Even after adding DE it would stay at 10 to 12 lbs, until it started getting dirty then I would bump it at roughly 17 lbs. This year it is different. Just opened it and...

My question is simple? Do these robotic cleaners really remember the layout of your pool? This is the first season using the S50. Even though it does clean the pool, I think it is a little erratic in the way it goes about it? I'm thinking, maybe there some that are better at it than others? S50...

What I have been reading here is that although all your numbers are great it is still possible to have algae? Here they are FC= 6 CC=0 TA=90 CYA=40 According to CYA chart, my FC should be between 5 and 7. I try to maintain the split difference of 6. CC has been 0 since I've opened the pool...

Just wanted to share this with every one. Converted over to chlorine this year from bacquicil, any one whose has done it knows you go thru a lot of chlorine and a lot of testing. I found this app on google, it's called "Pool Pal". It's free and the author tied it in with readings from here at...

Here are my numbers FC=5.5 Usually keep between 6.0 and 5.0 Ph= 7.8 Plan on lowering this to 7.6 According to poolmath by adding 1.3lbs stabilizer CC=.0 TA=90 CYA=40 It's very hard here to keep a clean pool. I have lots of trees(not on my property) My property abuts the turnpike. I can vacuum...

Using a Hayward EC-40 DE filter now. Looking to change to a cartridge filter. Looking at the Pentair 420. Have been using using flexible hoses on the Hayward since I bought pool (20 years). Can I use hoses on the Pentair? All the info I've seen on this filter refers to 2 1/2 in plumbing. Hoses...

Timer for a question or two. Started conversion this morning. Added about 1280 oz of 5.25 and just recently 12.5 chlorine. Water is green, can't get FC above 3. Been at it since 10:00am now 3:00pm. Changed out the DE twice so far. Just wondering if i am doing anything wrong? Using taylor 2006...

Had the pool closed. Took sample with Baqua strips. Strip color was White,and tells me should add initial dosage of oxidizer. Sanitizer is very low. Basically I am trying to get rid of as much Baqu before next season as I can. I had pool closed and they put in non-chlorine chems. It is safe to...

In process of converting back to chlorine. Was told by pool store (who opened my pool this year) to scoop a bucket of pool water add chlorine to bucket, if it turns black, then you still have too much baquacil in the pool. If this is a valid test, then it seems a lot easier to go through than...

I'v had my AGP for 22 yrs. Had been using chlorine for all those yrs,recently had a new liner installed and was talked in to trying Bacquacil. OK so far but thinking of going back to chlorine next season. During those 22 yrs I have purchased 3 automatic chlorinators. The problems is can't get...
