    Chemistry good but water isn’t pretty

    It’s rained overnight and all day today so the water does look a bit off from that, but it hasn’t been cloudy at all. Just not pretty.

    Chemistry good but water isn’t pretty

    Yes the overnight loss test last night showed zero loss. we’ve always used our hose water (city water) to fill and not had an issue before, but haven’t tested specifically for copper. The only thing I’ve added this year is stabilizer and liquid chlorine. Upon setup 8 years ago I added muriatic...

    My signature seems to have disappeared. We’ve got 29k gallon above ground pool, manually chlorinated.

    Chemistry good but water isn’t pretty

    I use the TF-100 test kit. Current testing: FC-6 CC-0 Ph-7.6 TA- 70 CYA-50 But the water looks pale turquoise instead of the deep blue we’ve always had in the past. It’s not a very inviting appearance. We’ve been using the TFP method for years without issue, but I do most of the balancing...

    Step by step instructions to hard plumb?

    I apologize. We’ve seen many general videos. There are so many excellent tutorials online, didn’t realize this would be such a difficult thing to find.

    Overwhelmed Newbie

    The price seems quite high. We have a 33’ resin and paid under $5k.

    Step by step instructions to hard plumb?

    We’ve got a new hose from pump to filter and cannot get it to stop leaking. We’re frustrated and keep reading that hard plumbing (preferably with flex PVC) is the way to go to solve this issue for good. We are experienced DIYers but not with plumbing.

    Purchase advice? First timer here

    Thank you! Very good points. We have 5 kids and I’m sure they will want to use it also. Mostly it will just be my husband and myself, or the kids - not everyone!

So no matter what we buy, we do have access to servicemen that have been highly recommended to us. This would be our first...
