    Stains not responding to removers

    I have brownish stains on the floor and the floor edges that I cannot remove. I have a white fiberglass pool and have tried multiple stain removers (sparkle conquest, natural chemistry stain free and united chemicals super stain treat). The stains appear to be spreading to a 4 foot ledge all...

    FC & Water Heaters

    Somebody had told me that with pool heaters, the FC should not go above 5ppm. I have looked online and not found anything to prove/disprove this. My chemicals are currently FC 3.0 CC 0.0 TA 90 CH 290 CYA 50 Ph 7.4 Borates 30 Water Temp 82. According to the pool calculator, I should be at at...

    chlorinating methods

    Thanks for the responses. As of this morning my FC - 2 (dropping to use stain remover), CH -240, TA-100, CYA-30, Ph-7.4. My intent is to use pucks to keep some chlorine in at all times in case I can't add liquid everyday but keeping the FC on the lower end of the range. I will check the pool...

    chlorinating methods

    I have typically used liquid chlorine as my source to chlorinate my pool. I was thinking in an attempt to keep my fc lower overall while also keeping chlorine in the pool, I would consider using a couple of trichlor pucks to keep chlorine in the pool and offset the frequency of adding bleach...

Watched a few videos about cleaning the cartridges, checked out the price of replacement cartridges and decided to go for the...

    Pentair Sand Filters

    I have a 10000 gallon pool with a 1 hp pump. I was looking at replacing the sand filter with either a top mount Pentair Sand Dollar 40 or 60 if the 60 isn't too big or I was looking at the side mount Triton 40, 50, or 60. The other option would be the Triton 60 with Clear Pro Technology. What...

    Need New Pump

    I need a new pump for a 21 foot round ag pool. I was looking at the Hayward SP1592 Power-Flo Matrix Above-Ground Pump 1-Horse Power. The pool came with 1 1/2 HP pump which has been wasting money. Does anybody know anything about this pump or should I look at a two speed or variable speed pump...

    My only concern is that the liner weakens to the point that it would break causing a major problem.

    Indents in bottom of pool

    I have had a pool for about 1 year and am noticing indents in the bottom of the pool around the edges varying in size up to the size of my heel and probably about an inch deep. One person at the pool store mentioned getting more sand under the liner but didn't mention that I would have to drain...
