May I please ask if you have any advice for cold plunge tanks. I have a 120 gallon chest freezer that I keep at 38 F and wish to add ozone water treatment. We use it about 10 minutes a day.

I came here to see what I'll need to do to keep my pool clean... I think I'll stick to changing my pool 2 times per month.

I have an inground pool and have carbon ants trying to come through the bottom. They bore tiny holes and already fixed 13 holes. What could be the solution on how to get rid of the ants thanks.

We got an above ground pool last summer (3500 gallons). We never could get the water numbers right. Our hardness and alkalinity was always very high. The pool store told us to put 3 chlorine tablets in the skimmer and 1-3 in the skimmer every week. But it never worked. We are getting ready to open the pool this week. Any tips?

I downloaded the cheat sheet about a year ago and I no longer have it. Is it possible to get another one? I've tried downloading it a couple of times but it doesn't download and I figured it's because I downloaded it once before.

What if all of those have been done and the water is cloudy

Don’t think backwashing more often is better, it’s not. A dirty filter traps smaller and smaller particles. Backwash only when necessary.
