I've been working on treating a neglected pool this year. Hit the pool with a power vacuum and removed a lot of algae but this is what I'm left with a week later after it cleared up. Curious if I should just vacuum to waste or net or what you guys would recommend. Kinda in over my head.

Hey I drained my filter thinking I had a broken lateral because a little bit of sand kept getting into my pool. I figured I had a cracked lateral. This was not the case. Looking to get some new media for the filter and originally I was going to go with glass but seems like the more research...

I currently have a bromine pool (strange I know) but started looking into just adding chlorine tablets to save on cost because from my understanding it alright to do this since you're doing the same thing when you shock the pool. Chlorine converts to bromine. Feel free to correct me if I'm...

Hey I purchase a dolphin robot about 5 years ago and tried it out and it was honestly terrible. Mostly just kicked up everything it was suppose to suck up and I have a weird shaped pool so it wasn't good at hitting a lot of the spots. Fast forward to this year and I'm going to have quite a bit...

Hey guys and gals... Basically have a tarp like cover that sustained some holes in it over the winter to where if I try to throw a sump pump on the pool the pool water fills back onto the cover and I can never fully drain the cover to pull it to replace it. Getting ready to swap it for a new...

Hey I've had my house for a few years and I always have bought the "10 year" covers and know they really only last for the year because twice I've tried to use them with a lot of headache come the next year when I go to open the pool with the cover having a lot of holes. Basically just looking...

Hey I recently made a thread where I feared a huge bill tearing up concrete to fix plumbing lines with my pool due to a leak when the pump was running. Had a leak detection company come by and look at the problem. They found a problem around a return jet I had previously worked on at the end...

Hey I've had my pool/home a few years. Opened it up this year just fine. No leaks or issues. About a month into running everything I started to notice I would wake up and my pool had pumped below the skimmer thus running my pump dry (my main drain at the bottom was eliminated by the previous...

Hey Have this style of face plate cover. I replaced this last year due to a crack. Same problem again this year. Anyway can't get the screws to go back in. It was missing two screws and those are the ones I can't get to go in with new screws. Tried using a hammer and a screw driver with...

Let me first start off by saying I know I should just replace the piping. However this is the piece attached to my hayward multiport valve and to replace it I would have to replace the whole valve along with several pipes that were glued into it. I tried the method of adding extra pvc cement...

Hey I recently purchased the dolphin natilus from amazon. I have been severely disappointed for the money I spent. I have a 30 day return period I'm strongly considering because this doesn't do anything near what I read or was advertised. I will highlight the pros and cons. Pros: No tangle...

Hey Just purchased the dolphin nautilus. Pretty solid cleaner. However I have a weird shaped pool. Its a standard 16x32 or something close to that. It has 90 degree turns at the edge as well as an edge at the deep end. The cleaner struggles to climb it and as soon as it starts to get...

Hey Over my winter pool cover water has collected and I have a couple of ducks that seem to come about once a day to eat (i feed them), bathe and drink water. Now with the weather starting to get to pool season I'm looking to open my pool. Of course you know this will involve shocking the...

Hey I went to close my pool on my own for the first time last weekend and it went pretty well except for a couple of issues. I was screwing in my plugs into the return inlets and two of the three jets still had air bubbles coming out leading me to believe water would still seep back in once...
