Hi, My pool has the in-floor cleaning system, but previous owners plugged the main floor drain. The effect is that all debris sit on the floor. I brush every 2-3 days and vacuum once a week, but I need some help :D (too many chores!). I'm not sure what was the reason or thinking to plugged the...

Hi, 3 months ago my pool was re-plasterd (Stonescapes Mini Pebble). Two days ago water become kind fo murky, colloidal. I check water chemistry: TA -80 ph - 7.8 CH - 400 CYA - 70-80 FC - 3.5 Is it time to slam the pool? Is it a problem with algae? If I need to SLAM, should i keep the salt cell...

Several weeks ago my pool was refill after re-plastering. Everything looks good, except pH rises on daily basis. I need to add acid almost every day to keep pH in range. Do you know why is that? Also TA is going down not as fast as rising pH but still. In the last 8 weeks I had to add baking...

Hello! I have a question about the schedule. What is better, to run the filter for shorter time (6-7 hours) at higher speed, or longer (8-9 hours) at lower speed? I am trying to balance the energy costs with the quality of water. I have a sand filter, Pantair inteliflo vari pump, in-floor...
