Re: help locating filter for pump incl w/ ProSeries metal fr Thanks for all your help. I'll probably order it and just forget about the stupid cartridge filters. Be on the look out for my "What the heck goes where and connects to what?" post when we get it in and go to hook it up. lol...

Re: help locating filter for pump incl w/ ProSeries metal fr I would also like to add that our pool has a wall skimmer...if that makes any difference.

Re: help locating filter for pump incl w/ ProSeries metal fr I'm sorry...I meant the center hole of my filter is smaller. So the Type is hole is too big. I'll check out the Unicel site. Thank you. On another note...BBBeliver posted here free-intex-saltwater-system-t35974.html about a bundle...

We purchased an 18' x 48" ProSeries metal frame pool from Sam's Club...pool is identical to the Intex brand but the pump is different. The pump that came with it has turned out to be a pretty good little pump...it does it's job so we'll use it for the summer and look at upgrading next year...

Gotta love Texas! Hotter than hades and takes forever to get anywhere. lol No aeration as of yet...no heavy use (or any today at all for that matter)...no grass or any other vegetation...no dogs. I will try increasing my CYA to 50 as suggested. And will start aerating as well...this will...

But I was previously ending each night with 6ppm and it would drop to below 2 by the next evening. ??

Thanks for the help Dave! I really appreciate it! And I promise...I really am trying to get it on my own. lol We won't be filling our pool til later today...possibly finishing in the morning so I'm trying to this all figured out ahead of time so I have on hand what I need. Do you think it...

Ok I've got my numbers plugged in but I'm totally confused! This affects this and this can lower this and yada yada yada. Help! Please.

Thanks for responding... Here's my readings now (if I'm doing and understanding them correctly)... FC - 0 CC - 0 pH - 8.2 TA - 330 CH - 60 CYA - 0 How does that look? Now I need a shopping list of what to have on hand for when we get the pool filled. I'm headed over to the pool calc to try...

First I just want to say that NOTHING irritates me more than when I type a post and my air card loses connection when I submit it and the post is lost!! Lucky for you, the reader, I don't feel like typing the whole thing over again...I'm long winded. I'll just make it short and sweet. I am...

Thanks for the "welcome"!! Tracked my test kit and FedEx says it was delivered. Woohoo!! Can't wait to get home and test our well water to see what I've got to work with!
