    Algae under bubbler housing

    My wife noticed algae underneath the plastic housing on our baba shelf bubbler today.

    Our new pool was filled about 32 days ago and my wife has been using a TF-100 kit to test the water each day.

    Easy touch or not?

    My wife and I are getting quotes to start a pool the first of June. It will be a pretty simple pool: 16x33, freeform without a spa, a couple of LED lights and an LED bubbler, pebbletec, small baja shelf. The builder offers the Easy Touch 8 w/wireless remote. What exactly will this do for me...

    Hi from Tx

    I found this forum a couple of days ago and think it will be really helpful. My wife and I are about to have our first pool started in a couple of weeks. We are going with gunite, 17x34 free form, but have no clue about anything else. Our PB is pushing chlorine, but we aren't sure what is...
