I would agree, but it's alive and it seems perfectly happy permanently under the water in the filter

Not strictly related to Algae, but seemed like the right place. I keep getting these in my pre filter. I have tried huge amounts of chlorine, but these seem impervious to it. They are about 1"-1.5" long, and there were several of them in the basket yesterday when I cleaned my filters. Has...

I tired it back to the sun, in the shade, will try again tomorrow.

Hi, Thanks for your replies. Hi Aimee, The house hasn;t been lived in for about a year, but water was nice n blue when I 1st looked at it, so suspect a pool service has been attacking the pool upto now. Jason, I will try that later on/tomorrow, just for my interest, I got it tested at the...

But I suspect I am doing something very very wrong! So did my first set of tests and got the following results; fc - 37 ph - 7.4 ta - 120 ca - 400 and CYA so high I can't measure it! Are some some beginers errors I may have made that I need to correct? As I was passing Leslies on the way to...

Hi, Thanks for your comments so far. I have literally just bought the house, so have no idea what it was like before. It's a Hayward I believe, 1.5hp, and quite possibly the original pump. did seem a little noisy originally, but once I cleared the large amount of leaves and seeds for the...

Running pump continuously over the weekend, and it got awfully hot, could just about keep my hand on it. It's in direct Arizona sunshine, so most things are prone to getting hot, but is this normal, or should I be looking at new pumps in the near future?

Thank you Jason. We expect to be able to get there is a couple of days, leafs will be a problem for time being, once we are in, not that concerned, just don;t want there to be loads of damage as they have stopped maintainence, and we can't get in yet.

So after a long protracted and painful process, it looks like I will be closing on our house in the next few days, but won't be able to move for a couple of weeks yet. While down there earlier, I took some pics to post here, and got got some water tested in a local pool shop (yes I know, but I...

Thanks for the welcomes :) getting to grips with this now I think, the pool school is great, learning a HUGE amount, and wish I had taken more pics, so I could ask more meaningful questions :) As far as solar is concerned, I was looking to run solar panels, charging deep cycle batteries, and...
