my current pool deck is textured concrete and has a bright white paint product. it appears to be a few years old and i need to re-paint it. Anyone have experience using the deck paint products, any one better than another? planning on pressure washing it. the one product they sell at lowes...

Hoping I could get some input, looking for a fountain that I can install directly to one of my returns in the pool. Pool temps down here in Florida are starting to creep up, so looking for a fountain to try and help keep the temperatures down a bit. not looking for anything permanent, just...

I have a 9k gallon pool. when I purchased the house it had a T-cell-3, which I knew was just undersized for the pool. it finally gave out on me end of last week. FC went to zero and started troubleshooting and its the cell that went bad. not producing chlorine anymore, cleaned it, reset the...

I have a SW pool, but every once in a while I add some liquid chlorine for a boost after heavy use to keep my SWCG at the same level. I go to a local Leslies, since here in Florida 10% chlorine is dirt cheap...about $3.50 for a 2.5 gallon refill. sorry, not trying to rub that in for my friends...

ok, I know what you are thinking, haha. I have a TF-100 but, I want to check the salt level. is the pool store testing for salt at all reliable? I know the taylor kit is +/- 200ppm and the strips are more...but in reality, the salt doesn't need to be that accurate anyway but I want to get a...

quick question, not that im interested in doing it. but we see accounts of pools with ammonia and that it consumes CYA, and after winter closing people come back to a pool with 0 CYA. would there be an effect on the pool to adding a high amount of ammonia to the pool to reduce CYA?

pool has been doing great since completing a SLAM about a month ago. been utilizing the SWCG and its been keeping my FC up and pretty stable. I had some empty 2.5g chlorine jugs and went to return them to the pool store last week to get my deposits back. decided to get one re-filled and keep...

are you still getting leaves/stuff off the bottom? really need to get all that out. not going to make much progress until that's all gone.

my pool has three returns. two of the returns are the standard eyeball type return/jets, however one of them is a slotted jet with minimal flow. What is the purpose of having this type of jet? I would like to replace it with a standard one. the other two jets push out a lot of water, very...

passed my OCLT last night, so wanted to do a full run of numbers for input. waiting for FC to drop FC: 26.5 CC: 0.0 PH: didnt take it due to high FC CH: 700 TA: 120 CYA: 70 Salt: 3100ppm assuming i get my ph to 7.5, pool math says my CSI is 0.26 which is below the 0.60 number\ i think...

been in my house for a few months. we have an inground SW pool that was recently refinished, however the tiling along the top apparently was not. the tile runs from under the pool deck topping to about 6" down, about half and half with the water line. I have seen quite a few cracks running...

Hi, bought a house with a saltwater pool a couple of months ago. been swimming in it since then as well. its roughly 8,000 gallons and it has a 15k gallon SWG cell on it. I have the TF100 test kit. at first FC was well over around 5, but started to drop when the weather warmed up. had some...
