Walk up to enough equipment pads and the pattern repeats itself. Oversized gas heater, cycling hard, a gas bill that looks like a car payment. The owner is convinced the unit is defective. Then look…

The first time someone tells you that you can swap a pool light with the water still in the pool, it sounds like a trick. It isn’t. It’s just a design decision that’s been standard…

Above-ground pools lose heat differently than inground pools, and almost every piece of advice you’ll find online was written for the inground case and then applied here without adjustment. That’s the root of most disappointment….

Pool depth is measured vertically from the surface of the water straight down to the pool floor at that point — not from the top of the coping or deck, and not the wall height…

Standard silica sand filter media needs replacing roughly every 3 to 5 years, sooner if you notice cloudy water despite balanced chemistry, backwash cycles needed more often than before, or pressure that climbs faster than…

Low-to-medium speed, run for a longer daily cycle, is the efficient standard for routine pool filtration — pump energy use scales roughly with the cube of speed, so cutting speed in half can cut power…

Pool-specific filter sand, commonly labeled #20 silica sand at a 0.45 to 0.55mm effective size, is the correct media for a sand filter — generic play sand or mason sand is the wrong grain size…

A pool pump that’s suddenly noisier than usual is almost always one of three things: cavitation from restricted water flow, a worn motor bearing, or vibration being transmitted through the equipment pad — and each…

A pressure drop is usually the first thing owners notice, and it leaves most of them unsure whether pulling the pump apart is really necessary or if there’s a simpler fix. Often it is the…

Algae that keeps coming back in the same spot no matter how much the pool gets shocked is rarely a chemistry problem — it’s a jet-direction problem, and the fix is usually just angling each…

A pool vacuum that runs fine for a few minutes, then tips onto its side or back and stalls out until someone wades in to flip it upright again, is one of the most common…

Walk into a pool store, and the three cleaner categories get presented as price tiers: suction is the cheap one, pressure is the middle, robotic is the splurge. That framing hides the thing that actually…
*Aiper is the No.1 brand of smart robotic pool cleaner in the world in terms of sales volume
Source: Euromonitor International Co., Ltd., in terms of 2025 manufacturer sales volume (units) in the world. Smart robotic pool cleaner is defined as: intelligent service robots integrating mechanical, electronic, software algorithm and sensor technologies.
