After 15 years of having our pool, and thank God found this site and learned how to take care of it, we decided to install the Hayward Aquarite this year. We have always added solar salt each year to our pool, and it always made the water feel wonderful. We opened the pool today - and it looks...

We had 0 CYA after doing a major refill this spring. Hubby, wanting to be helpful, :-D added the 3 lbs of HTH stabilizer directly, slowly into the skimmer. So I know we shouldn't backwash for a week, but will that do any harm? And can I assume that it is in the water now?

We had some hail damage and some shingles blow off our roof in the Friday, June 29 storm. The insurance adjuster finally came this morning to take pictures, etc. When he saw our pool he said "Wow, your pool is so clear - it looks great! My pool doesn't look like this." I told him he needed to...

Bought at Digital Pool Thermometer at Menard's for $23. Has a remote station that lets me read the pool temp from my deck. Great little device for here in Ohio! (Was 90 degrees last Saturday - today it's about 65.)

Our FOXX pool was installed in 1999 and we have the Fiberstars 6008 fiberoptic lighting around the perimeter. Last year colors were dull. This year we put in a new liner - first time we turned on the lights, it ran for about 2 minutes then turned off - fan, colors, light and all. Checked fuse -...

We are going to be replacing our liner this spring. Anyone have any feelings about whether there's much difference between a 20 mil and a 28 mil liner from FOXX?

We obviously have a suction side leak. Has anyone ever tried the FIX-A-LEAK product? http://www.fixaleak.com/pools.html Seems like a good idea if it works.

Have been using the BBB method for 3 years now - have had the pool for 10 years. The pool has never been clearer, and I now feel like I know my pool. Usually buy Pool Sanitizer - 10% liquid chlorine - from Meijers. Have a Hayward Sand filter - put 2/3 cup of DE in skimmer every time I backwash.
