    Stains on Travertine Waterline Tiles

    Hi. My travertine waterline tiles have a dark stain above the waterline. I'm having it cleaned by "soda blasting" but want to seal the tile to prevent same in future. To pick the best sealer, I need to know what it is. Some have told me it may be metals, others say algae, some say dirt line...

    How much chlorine do you add each day?

    Yes, I'm south of Houston, in Friendswood, and my small pool gets full sun all day and it had been brutal. And since our pool is new, the grandkids and I have been enjoying it. Hubby is just wondering about all the bleach. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    How much chlorine do you add each day?

    I live south of Houston and the sun has been HOT lately. I've also had allot of grandkids in the pool lately. I passed the overnight tests a couple weeks ago and have been careful since to maintain the FC level but I'll do another this weekend to confirm. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    How much chlorine do you add each day?

    We do seem to be losing about that in a day. I'm not letting the FC fall below 7 so I keep adding 80 or 90 each day to get it up to 11 or 12 knowing that it's going to drop 5 or 6 in the next 24 hours. It just seems like a lot. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    How much chlorine do you add each day?

    I have an 11,000 pool and spa and am trying to maintain a FC level of 7 but that is requiring about 90 oz of 8% bleach each day. Does this sound right for my small plaster pool? My current numbers are: FC 7 CC. 0 PH. 7.6 TA 90 CH 290 CYA 60 Temp 90 Thank you. Lynn

    Please help with getting pump to work after cleaning filter

    Ok. We called a neighbor to look at it and he figured it out. We had also drained some of the pool water to reduce our cya so the water level had dropped about 6 inches. So, there are these white things below the skimmer baskets called waterways? And they seemed to have dropped a cover over...

    Please help with getting pump to work after cleaning filter

    :(We are new pool owners and having trouble getting the pump to work after cleaning the filter. It is not pumping water properly. We filled up the cleaner basket with water and it sucked it right out but then nothing else. Can you please tell me what we are doing wrong?

    Need Advice on Water Balancing and Water Bugs

    We finished our pool late last year and have been using Pool Math to keep it balanced. But something got away from us recently and we could use some advice I think. The thing I first noticed were bugs swimming in our water last night! Ewe! My research indicates that these are probably water...
