I think there's an article on cleaning the filter in Pool School, and there are a lot of YouTube videos as well, but the process is pretty straight forward. 1. Turn off the pump 2. Separate the bottom and top halves of the filter case 3. Remove the filter cartridge and spray off all of the...

I'm waiting for water temps to drop before I start my stain treatment. Bought the house a year ago, the water was clear but the pool staining looks just like yours. I have a Jack's stain ID kit ready to confirm before I start, but based on appearances I'm going to be keeping an eye on your...

Shoot, caring for your own pool is faster and easier than paying someone once you get the basics down. I was in the same boat almost a year ago, bought a house with the first pool I've ever owned much less had to take care of. I knew zero. My brother introduced me to the TFP method, walked me...

Hey, we understand this is frustrating. The "experts" here are sharing experience that you're seemingly unwilling to follow. People genuinely do want to see you resolve the issues you're having though, but if you choose to leave I do hope you find a solution that works. I will say this, I...

Sorry to be blunt, but you're just not getting to the cause. What you're doing is akin to taking your car to the shop because you just can't keep air in the tires. Tire guy insists you need to remove the nails from your tires and patch. You insist the tires are fine because you bought some...

Can't say it looks normal comparing to mine, I installed a few weeks back and mine is quite clear.

So, do you use the pool to cool your wort down to pitching temp? ;)

Home brewing is fun, but it definitely takes a LOT more time than pool maintenance ;) I'm down to half a corny keg in the keezer :(

The main reason for me adopting the TFP method was to save time messing with the pool. I looked at the total picture and quickly came to terms that spending literally 2 minutes every other day, with a beer in hand mind you, was FAR better than any other method I could find. Including the...

You're doing a great job! It takes some effort, but I was in a similar situation with my filters. Worse, perhaps. The previous homeowner may never have cleaned them after installation. You couldn't tell the filters were pleated they were so packed with gunk, no exaggeration. I should have...

Found my first snake in the skimmer this weekend. Juvenile garden variety garden snake. Poor little guy was just spinning and spinning in there, so I fished him out and let him sun on the deck for a bit. Kids were excited to see him, the little one of course wanted to keep it as a pet ;)

Maybe ask him to kick in a few bucks for chlorine? I mean he is kinda just hanging out and enjoying the pool.

I just (yesterday) did a ~60% drain, ~12,000 gallons of my pool in four hours. I bought a pretty inexpensive pump and hose from Amazon, and it actually worked well. Pool has been filling all through the night and today, hope to see it finish up late this evening and then I can see if my CYA...
