salt water pool

We recently moved into a new home about a month ago. As the warmer weather arrives, we wanted to convert our pool into salt water (previous owners had it as chlorine). I have ordered a salt water system that I think will work well (Pentair iChlor 30), but now the question is how to route the...

Does anyone have experience with appropriate places to drain backwash water if we have an aerobic septic system? We have a saltwater pool & sand filter. We are on large (approx 2 acre lots), but our lot has a lot of slope (toward them). Our neighbor is complaining about water coming from our...

Hey TFP, Long time reader first time poster here. I'm hoping to try and get some help figuring out what the heck is in my skimmer. I've got Chlorine and PH in a good place and I recently shocked my salt water pool. I've attached a picture of what I'm seeing every morning I get out to check the...

Hello, I have a relatively new saltwater pool (11/1/2019) that I can't seem to get back into balance. As a result of allowing my CYA levels to drop to zero, my FC levels quickly followed (Florida sun). In an attempt to get my CYA/FC levels up rapidly, via stabilized chlorine tablets &...

My wife and I are new to the pool world. We have no idea what we are doing. LOL! We are learning, which is awesome. We still have a long way to go. We have a Intex pool 9x18x52 with a sand filter and saltwater pump. I hope we are doing everything correct. Thanks for having us.

Hi everyone! New to the site and new to pools. My husband and I just purchased a new home which has a 30 year old salt water pool (cement bottom and fiberglass walls). We decided to attempt to open the pool for summer ourselves because the pool companies in our area are booked until July. We...
