I have a fiberglass pool with brown stains on sides and walls. We
have tried Ascorbic acid which does get rid of the stain immediately

chemicals and keep them at a good range. I do have trees over pool
but the polaris does […]

Does anyone have any experience with the Bioguard three step
program? We are new pool owners and the pool company is promoting

understand, yet they have the longest warrantee 5 years.
Warranties have nothing to do with the life or quality of the product. They

I’ve just discovered that the ‘amazing’ ‘lifetime guarantee’ pool
surface called “anthoshield” is defective, has been known to be

anthony (now anthony-sylvan) pools to complain about being
painted blue everytime I used my once-beautiful little pool!! I did

I need advice. I feel like a slave to my new pool. It is a 15′ round
above ground pool. The salesman told me that I would have to vacuum

pool then the […]
