So we just had a stamped concrete deck poured around our pool. The "contractor" paid no mind when throwing out the powder release onto the concrete and quite a lot of it ended up in the pool. It floated on the top for a while and then mixed into the water. The pool is very cloudy. We have a...

Looking for some input. I've had the Nautilus Dolphin CC (without wifi) in the past and had good results with it. We moved about a year ago and are rehabbing the pool at our new place. New liner went in today so I need to get a pool cleaner. I have accounts at 2 local pool places. One has...

Rehabbing an old pool at our house. It was running an Aquarite, super pump, and boost pump. I threw all the equipment out and bought an Omnilogic and a 2.7hp Tristar. Haven't hooked it up yet as we are still in the process of having the liner replaced, but the circuit that was ran to the...

We're replacing the liner and some wall panels and will need to fill our roughly 40k gallon pool with water soon. Water delivery is about $350/6000 gallons so we'd be looking at close to $2400 if we had city water delivered. I'm leaning towards using our well to fill the pool. We have a water...

We just bought a house with a 40k gallon IG vinyl liner pool. I knew it needed a new liner and equipment but that has turned into replacing a couple polymer walls, removing a buddy seat, adding returns, adding deck jets, replacing the light in the deep end, adding 2 smaller lights to the...

Anyone ever replaced polymer wall panels? We bought this house in December and the pool was a mess. All equipment was shot. Liner needs replacing. Crappy 3' concrete deck. I went into this thinking I'd need new pump, filter, salt cell, control panel...all of which I can do myself. And a...

Good afternoon. I have roughly 10 years of experience owning pools, having purchased a home that already had a pool to having one built. We just sold our home and purchased another home that has a pool. It's a large Grecian true L but needs a ton of work. Liner is shot and all equipment is...

Good morning. We have owned a pool in the past but have never had one built for us. We moved recently and our home does not have a pool. We are having one built in about a month and I am trying to decide exactly what pool pump and filter to go with. We met with several pool builders and the...

Good morning. We're in southeastern VA. We do not close our pool in the winter; we leave it uncovered, unplug the salt cell, and keep it on recirculate. About a month ago I backwashed the filter and took the grids out and completely rinsed them. From that point on I have strictly had the...

Forgive me but I left my notebook with all of my readings at home...I believe ph was 7.4, calcium was 240ppm, FC was 5ppm, CC was 0ppm. I definitely know that CYA was approx. 45ppm. That said, we have a Pentair IC40 SWG and our pool is in the sun all day. No trees or anything to block the...

So I opened our pool about a month ago. Lately I've been seeing little areas in the corners of the pool on the floor that look like sand/dirt. When you brush them they dissipate and later come back. Appears it's mustard algae. So yesterday afternoon I bought 12 gallons of 8.25% bleach (121...

Last year was our first year with the pool and I didn't keep up with testing it as much as I should have. It was always clear so I left it as is! This year I want to get everything running smoothly and actually learn about pool chemistry and be able to maintain the pool with no outside help...
