Above ground pool vac.?




Karen M


I have been looking at automatic above ground pool vacuums and i was wondering what one you would say to be the best. I have seen the Zodiac Baracuda Zoom and Ranger and they seem like good machines but i havent been able to find any reviews on either of them and for that hefty a price i would like to know what i am really getting. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My mom's colleague has a Baracuda Zoom and she said its the best thing she ever bought...she just lets it go and wah-lah, your pool is CLEAN!!! I would recomend it to you.

Why is my pool green and how do I fix it?

Q. My pool is this freaky green color. I moved into this house a little more than a year ago, and since then I have never had any problems with the pool. Well, usually, I let my parents take care of it since they're afraid I'm going to "fall into the pool and drown". But it's our first time ever having a pool, so my family knows zilch about pH levels, how much chlorine to put, and basically everything about a pool. We clean it with that net thing and have this automatic vacumn machine, but since it's summer, everyone's been really busy and we haven't been as careful. Now on the steps of the pool, there's this dark brown-green mold-like thing. So can somebody explain how to properly take care of the pool and how to fix this problem with the green water? Yes, there's a few flowers and leaves (we have this huge tree shadowing our house, and out neighbor's huge flower hedge contributes, too), but it's really minimum - just a few floating on the surface. And the green-brown moldish thing is only on the steps of the pool. Thanks.


Answer
You are starting to get an algae bloom in your pool. I can't tell you how much of a particular chemical to add because I don't have access to test your water, nor did you say how many gallons of water are in your pool.

An algae bloom happens to everyone sooner or later. You will have to shock the heck out it and add an algacide. Hand vacuum the algae off your steps and anywhere else you see starting to develop. Most importantly, NOW, take a water sample to you local pool supply store and have them test it. The test is free. From that it will be accurately determined what type and levels of chemicals will need to be added. Worst case scenario is that you will have to drain your pool, scrub it, rinse it and refill it.

An algae bloom can take over your entire pool in just a few days.
