I have been working on my pool for a month short story is pool was filled with oak tree leaves & was a total mess. Dipped & dipped some more & got all leaves out but a few. Pool is crystal clear but needs vacuuming. Couldn’t get it to vacuum - pump would prime with main drain & skimmer both open...

I think my SWG is dead. My question is - can I just use chlorine because I really don’t have the $$$ to replace it. My pool has turned into a money pit ?And if so how would I go about switching over? Thanks so much!

Have been working along on my pool with the help of this wonderful bunch of folks. Got ready to vacuum & it did for a minute then I have no suction at all. My pump isn't priming at all - any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trying to vacuum - took the lid off the leaf basket & put it back on crooked I assume! How can I get it off - it won't budge [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know this has to be a really dumb question, but how do I turn my SWG off manually? I'm in the process of starting my slam & know it needs to be off - but how? I have searched everywhere trying to find out how, but haven't figured it out yet.

Long story short: Married for 40 years, husband finds younger woman = divorce. He took care of the pool & I limped along last year barely keeping it going. Have the Iaqualink and my router went out last fall, replaced router & haven't been able to connect since. I'm totally wanting to learn...

My husband has always taken care of our pool, but he's decided a 14 year younger woman is much better than a family - sooooo, I'm in dire need of help! first of all he neglected to tell me that the SWG is no longer working. Found that out after a few days & a green pool. I' pretty sure my...

This is our 5th year with our pool & the first time we have had problems with it. Our Jandy remote went out & have been working on replacing it. Our current readings are PH 8.2, CC 10, TA 110 & CH 90. If I'm correct, I need to add 112 ounces of bleach, 33 oz of muratic acid. 447 oz calcium...

Can someone tell me where to find the percentage of chlorine in bleach on the bottle? I have looked on several different brands in the stores & have not found one yet!! Thanks!

I posted a couple of weeks ago with high CYA levels & having several slick spots in our pool. Since then I have been testing, reading (and reading ....lol) pool school & am just now beginning to understand why & how - I hope - to balance my water. Not to say it is balanced. My test this...

I have been trying really hard to actually understand all about the testing of our pool. My current test results are: FC 17 CC 0 TC 17 TA 110 CH 280 CYA 95 PH 7.5 - 7.8 Parts of our pool walls feel slick - not all of them. The water looks clear. What am I doing wrong? I have read &...

I hope this is the right place to post. I first posted in BBB but moved it here. Our pool was finished last summer & really had no problems. This year we have a few "slick spots" but no visible green. I have been studying the pool school & put our numbers in this morning. These are our...
