Somebody with more experience please correct me if I'm wrong. I recently filled our new pool and prior to fill tested my water and came up with a plan. Nothing I came up with actually happened. From memory I had the following FC - 1 CC 1 TA 70 CH 125 What ended up happening was that the TA...

My wife and I were discussing this last night while trying to clean our spray decking. I assume this is something similar to what we have, the issue we are having is that the color is a lighter color (I don't know what it is called and don't know if the colors you mentioned are light) and the...

Great looking pool, I like the raised wall at the edge of the tanning ledge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Patrick, just noticed you are in Midland, I was born in Midland but left at a young age so hard to claim much of a Midland connection. Anyway had a quick question, although covered at length on the forum I wanted to get an opinion. My pH management seems to be going well this morning it did...

On the list right now in order of priority is landscaping, window addition, TV addition to the patio area, and just tonight added look into adding French doors or sliding door to the patio entrance from the house, not sure that one will work due to the location of our breakfast area. Or more...

This should work, I picked it up at the pool store, I was there for something else and saw it, good for corners and the bottom edge. The pool store was a trip, I don't think anybody except me made it out of there without Phos Free, shock (they were giving it away if you had a rewards card)...

Pool dimensions are 30'x16' with the tanning ledge about 5.5' wide, going from 3.5' to 6' deep. The tanning ledge has two bubblers installed that have a lighted ring around the bottom. Yes that is just one LED.

Don't tell us that we may have found the bottom, I sense weakness. I know it seemed like about 5 min after the pool was full we both started making a verbal list of what needs to happen next. This may be an addiction.

Patrick, Thank you for clearing that up for me, I suspected it was going as it should just didn't know why. No he did not give any guidance on FC or CYA, I asked but he seemed to think the pucks / sticks would be fine. I was shooting to just follow the Chlorine / CYA Chart, as CYA increased...

Starting up a new plaster pool and have a few doubts, I've been studying up on this site for a few months but still seem to have myself confused and know that the group will set me straight. I seem to be having trouble getting my FC numbers up but will chalk that up to using tabs in the skimmer...

Suz - Sorry it took so long to get back to you, been a busy day messing around with the pool and finishing some of the other areas. The lights are just from the Lowes low voltage landscape lighting section (let me know if you want the exact make and model), they do put out a decent amount of...

So apparently my water meter does not match up with estimated pool volume (by a significant amount) or my pool is significantly smaller than estimated, either way I don't care it's filled, pool builder came by this evening and we got the pumps up and running, acid added, and chlorine tabs...

Getting closer.

Filling continues. Last night I tested the fill water here are the results. FC: 1 CC: 1 (A little disturbing if true, I have my water softener bypassing right now and have tested the water before with the water softener and do not recall any chlorine to speak of free or combined) CH: 125 TA...

That's going to look good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
