My parents live in S. Florida and are in the process of interviewing pool people to care for their new pool while they are away. One is promoting that he uses "filtered chlorine", "natural stabilizer" and "stabilized salt." Does anyone have any idea what he is talking about? Pool is new...

I had the pool re plastered, and got everything up and running about 2.5 weeks ago. Having trouble getting TA down. Started w/ TA of around 300, and can't seem to get below 200. Most recent test results: FC:4.5 CC:0 pH:7.3 TA:200 CH:425 CYA:30 Temp:66. I have been testing 2x/day and adding...

Looking to have a 5' tall removable safety fence installed around my pool to keep my 1year old twins safe. My builder has access to looploc and gli. Prices seem similar. Gli uses smaller holes in the deck 5/8" vs 1 1/4 for the looploc. Does anyone have recommendations one way or another as far...

Looking to replace the pumps and add Easytouch for my pool (25,000 gallon) and attached spa. I'm thinking the Intelliflo VS 3hp pump for the pool, but not sure which pump would be best for the spa (thinking a single speed would be adequate to run the jets). Also wondering what the difference...

Planning to add the IC60 this spring. Do I need EasyTouch to run it, or can it just run off of the basic mechanical timer that currently runs the pump?

Thinking about making the switch to SWG for my 25,000gallon pool. Should I go with the Pentair IC40 or IC60? Is bigger always better?

I have a 25,000 gallon pool and my current sand filter is about 30 years old and starting to leak, so it is time for a new one. The pool store recommended Pentair ta-100d. Is this a good filter and an appropriate size for 25,000 gallons?

Opened pool on 4/3 and water looks great. Struggled the first half of last summer with the pool store, then switched to TFP and have been very happy. Let pump run for 5hours and then tested. FC:9 CC:0 pH:7.3 Alk:130 CH:350 CYA: less than 30. Water Temp: 49 I have chlorine sticks in to...

My CYA is pretty high (150ish). I want to drain off a bunch of water and refill, but I'm not sure if I can drain to below the skimmers without getting air in the lines and having problems. If I close the valve for the skimmers and backwash water out only coming from the main drain will I be...

Have been testing for several weeks now with Taylor-2006c. Latest test results FC:11 CC:0 pH:7.7 TotalAlk:160 CYA:140 The previous owners were using silk sticks, so the CYA is very high, but I have been draining a little and refilling to get it down (Started with it at 200). Now only using...
