    Trouble signing into the phone app

    That worked perfectly! I should've thought of it honestly, but wasn't sure that my "real" pool would be lost. I didn't need to reset my password since I found it on my computer where I use an automatic password program to save them. I am all set now! Have a great day!

    Trouble signing into the phone app

    Hello Pool Friends! It's spring and we opened our pool today in Michigan! Yay! The problem I am having is that since using the app last fall, I switched from and Android phone to an iPhone. I downloaded the app from the Apple Store but I couldn't remember my password, so I clicked to use my...

    To cover or not to cover in Michigan

    One other quick question. We have skimmer covers and return plugs, so do i need to lower the water level or just disconnect the lines and do the pump/filter maintenance? We always seem to lose a lot of water, I guess to evaporation, so the less I have to add back the better because we have...

    To cover or not to cover in Michigan

    Hey fellow pool owners! It's been a great summer for our pool using the TFP methods! Haven't had a tinge of anything but bright blue, clear water! Yay! For me, it's been a hard summer because I feel off a ladder picking cherries and smashed my wrist into more than 10 pieces! Had to had a rod...

    Return pool lights- anything new in this space?

    I have found their website to be good on pricing and really fast on shipping. If you get the return light like I have I think you will really be satisfied! Have a great summer!

    Return pool lights- anything new in this space?

    We have a 21 x 40 above ground pool. Last year I bought some return lights that were powered by the water coming out of the return. They were pretty cool until they first started squeaking and eventually died about a month in. This year I bit the bullet and bought a really cool light that so...

    What a great idea! we have TONS of old stuffed animals! So I would just stick into the skimmer basket?

    Thanks for your reply Mdragger88! It was very helpful in clearing up what I need to have and why! Sounds like it would be a great investment! Especially for those times when we are away for a few days. Since I'm here now, I'll ask you this other question. I added Muriatic Acid....AGAIN...

    I was wondering about how these threads work. I need a tutorial on that! You all seem to be able to reply to individual sentences, and I can't figure out how that's done. I feel like I'm constantly scrolling and finding new replies to my OP. I'm so confused! :oops::ROFLMAO:

    So here is my pool today. Nice and clear and all that yellow gunk is at the bottom where I brushed it yesterday before the weather changed. I have to go out and test the water again yet tonight, but the weather has been absolutely miserable today, as you can see from the picture. Slushy snow...

    Hi Mariane! Where are you in Michigan? We are just east of Grand Rapids. We do not lower the water level of the pool. We cover the skimmers and plug the returns. We've never had this happen before where the pump pulls water through the cover....I'm assuming that's what happened.....even...
