I am assuming that my problem is my pump. I have used shock n’ swim
and my water is still cloudy. I changed the filter, though it was a
bit late to change it for the store here was out of them for about a
week. The problem is, I turn the pump on and […]

Hi all,
I have hundreds of tiny black bugs on the surface of my pool, half are
dead, half are alive. I have thousands of dead bugs on the floor of
my pool. They are tiny little bugs and if they bite they sting for a

I called the company servicing the pool and this is […]

We have cement decking surrounding our IG Pool. I was hoping to get a
color that is more pleasing to the eye.
Has anybody tried any of the cement decking paints that I see in the

upkeep issues, and would you do it again.
Thanks up front.

to reset the (30) 2″ x 2″ tiles that have fallen off at various spots around
the perimeter.
Has anyone done their own tile repair or is there […]

I am a new pool owner. I just opened my underground pool, and now
thunderstorms and heavy rain is predicted. Will my pool overflow or
become filled with bacteria? Or do I have nothing to worry about,
except for testing the chemical levels after the storm passes?
Thanks for the help.

Greetings to all members - and happy swimming! This is my first
post to the group.
Is there anyone who is knowledgeable about electronics that could
help me determine which component of the motor’s timing unit is bad
so that I can replace it versus buying a new timer? At this point I
do […]

Greetings (and happy Summer solstice to our Druid friends),
Today was the longest day of the year, with 14 hours and 44 minutes
of daylight locally, most of it sunny. Our pool is sans cover (has
been for a week) and yet the water temp is 89.7 degF (32degC) at
this hour.
Not much else […]

Good morning all,
If there is anyone here from the Metro Detroit area, can you please
tell me of any “super duper” pool supply stores in Metro Detroit? I
live in Toledo on the Michigan border and can be up there within 45
minutes. I’m specifically looking for a supply store that might carry
pre-made decks such as resin or […]
