Noticed you are in Tracy CA. I am close by. Try HASA liquid chlorine. It is 12.5 concentrate and usually fresh and so you can rely on it. In Pleasanton, it is available in L@@@@ store. It is available in another store in Hayward (I can give you the name if you are interested). It comes in...

Thanks James for your reply and time. I didn't want to buy the full kit because I have everything else except for calcium hardness test. I have bought the reagents needed. I will post the CH in a few days. I am hoping that I can get a few more years before re-plastering. I checked the forum...

I bought this house just last year. I have no way to find out the age of the plaster. i have plain white plaster. I know the TA to be 110. I don't have a test kit to measure calcium hardness. I didn't find one in TFTKit shop. I will soon do the test and post the results here. Thanks.

Yes. it bubbled right away when I added the acid.

Sorry. I gave incomplete information in the beginning. I did test CYA at the start the season and it was at 60. I know how much FC to maintain and I regularly check that. I usually check PH on a regular basis as well and it is at 7.4 Occasionally I check TA. It is currently at 110. I haven't...

I run my pool robot once a week. I am seeing white sand particles. My plaster is the same color and I think it is my plaster disintegrating. I check chlorine frequently and adjust. My PH is 7.4 which I check regularly and adjust as well. I don't check anything else. Please advice.

Thank you. I will go with either Sunplay or poolpartz and place the order today. Both have the lowest price at 669$ with no tax and free shipping.

I see good reviews here and elsewhere. Thanks for also posting the item number. With so many similar sounding names, it is easy to make a mistake. Can you suggest a online store where I can buy this. I am assuming warranty isn't an issue because we have to deal with the manufacturer if there is...

Thanks duraleigh. I will keep you posted. I will cut open a small hole in that slab to see what's there. My pool equipment does not have any controls (like controlling the water from skimmer vs main drain). Guessing it is buried under the slab.

Hi duraleigh - I don't know when or why it was put. It was there when I got the house mid last year. I haven't attempted to remove it because when I do the manual vacuum, the hose end connects well to that fitting. I am planning to plug the skimmer and watch the water level for a couple of...

For a few months now, I am seeing water levels going down in the pool. But from my observation the last few weeks, the level drops drastically when the pump runs. But otherwise it is slow. I was suspecting suction side leak (between skimmer and pump) because this happened right around when my...

I chatted with the folks at poolcenter online store and located the replacement pump and the build-kit (based on the pump model). I recently bought this house and I realized that I might have home warranty and I do. So it will be fixed under warranty. If I have this problem next time, I will...
