So there's this pool guy telling me to drain and refill my entire pool just because my alkalinity hit zero, but that sounds like expensive overkill for some cloudy water. Every time I try to balance the pH, it just crashes back down within a day or two.

I've got a 20,000 gallon pool and honestly I'm tired of throwing random chemicals at this problem. What's the RIGHT way to get my alkalinity back up to where it should be? I need specific amounts and steps because clearly what I've been doing isn't working.…more

Noticed my pool's looking rough this week and planning to tackle a deep clean Saturday — what vacuum equipment should I have ready from Costco? The pool store told me I definitely need a good vacuum to keep it clean, but their prices seem pretty steep.

I'm a Costco member and was wondering if they carry pool vacuums? I'd love to save some money if possible, and I trust Costco's return policy in case I mess up and buy the wrong thing. Do they have a decent selection, or should I stick with the pool store? Any guidance from experienced pool owners would be amazing!…more

This summer my neighbor's pool stays crystal-clear while I'm constantly driving to multiple stores hunting down chlorine, pH adjusters, and shock treatments.

Does Lowe's carry all the pool chemicals I need? I'd prefer to shop somewhere I trust that has a good selection so I can get everything in one trip. Can I order online if they don't have something in stock? I just want to make sure the water is safe for my children before they jump in.…more

Opened up my Walmart app hoping to snag a pool vacuum like I did for my old 18-footer, but this 24-foot pool might need something different. My pool holds about 13,500 gallons and I've been maintaining proper chlorine levels around 2-3 ppm, but I'm still getting debris and algae buildup on the bottom that my skimmer can't handle.

I've been looking into different vacuum options - manual, automatic, and even some of the newer robotic models. Since I prefer to see products in person before buying, especially for something this important, I'm wondering if Walmart typically stocks pool vacuums in their physical stores? I know inventory can vary quite a bit by location and time of year, so I want to make sure I'm not wasting a trip to the store if they don't carry them locally.…more

About to host three families this weekend and my pool water is turning green, the pH strips are showing crazy readings, AND I'm completely out of chlorine. We're planning a big family gathering next month and I want to make sure the water chemistry is perfect. I've been buying pool chemicals at our local pool store but the costs are adding up quickly. A neighbor mentioned that Costco might carry pool chemicals at better prices. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm concerned about quality too - are warehouse store chemicals as safe and effective as the ones from specialty pool retailers? I just want to make sure I'm not compromising on safety to save money, especially with little ones swimming.…more
