Is it safe to swim with TA at 100 or greater?

Thank you Jason. Does it matter in which order you do them? Thanks again.

Do people do both the borates & salt or is that overkill? Thanks.

Thanks Scott and Dave. I'll print the instructions and give it a try tonight. Appreciate the help and advice.

Bama Rambler, The leak appears to be on the back end furthest from basket, if that helps? I did replace a gasket on the front end, closest to the basket. Thanks.

Replaced gasket closest to basket but I still have a leak. It appears to be coming from rear of motor. I'm able to take out screw & twist end of motor but don't know 1) if I can even take the back section of the motor that turns freely off and if so how 2) if there are any replacement parts...

For the past season and a half of using TFP things have been wonderful - thank you! Went away on 7/16 and the water was perfect (tested before we left) and am using the chlorine pucks so I loaded the automatic chlorinator and asked the house sitter to just keep an eye on the water and let me...

gnewport: I, like you was hesitant about putting the money out for a Rocky's Roller solar cover reel and 3 years later, I'm sorry I didn't. I opted for this from Leslie's - http://tinyurl.com/r2dnnc with this from Leslie's as well - http://tinyurl.com/qkr999 Not the manufacturer's fault but...

Thanks, Dave. Tonight's reading my FC is 15.5 so yes, I'm almost there. Will retest in the morning. If it isn't where I want it to be (at 16 as you suggested), I'll add more bleach to get it there, test it an hour later and see where we go from there. Enjoy the remainder of this long weekend!

I apologize, Sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). It is a...

FINALLY a question I feel comfortable answering! Washing soda is a highly alkaline chemical compound which can be used to remove stubborn stains from laundry. It also has numerous uses around the house, and it is used in a range of industrial applications as well. Washing soda should not be...

Excellent, thank you! This morning's readings are as follows: FC 9 (yay, I think this is where I want to be if not at 10 to stay in 'shock' mode to kill the algae, correct?) CC 0 TC 3 (I think this is where I want to be as well? Not 100% certain. This is where I was the entire summer last...

Thanks! I just found a 25" pail of granular soda ash (ph+) in my pool storage cabinet. I believe I should be able to use this? Also, since I don't have a scale that will measure out 42 oz by weight, may I use the volume equilivent of 37 oz and add it 1 oz dry cup at a time until I reach 37 oz...

Thanks much! I'll give it a shot.

not sure what to do! I use the http://www.poolcalculator.com after I tested the water using my awesome TF Test kit. Here are the readings: water color: cloudy and green FC 0 CC 0 TC 0 pH 6.8 TA 20 CH - CYA 40 Temp 61 I'd like to get my numbers within range of what's recommended on this...
