Great info…with my luck with pool equipment, I’m sure it’s frozen 😎

Maytronics Dolphin Active 20…where can I get a new cord for a good price?

The 2 1/2gal. at pinch-a-penny has been $7.00 for years now..way before the fire. Seems like a little gouging is going on.

I mostly use 13% chlorine to keep my pool clear but sometimes I like to use tabs for a variety of reasons, such as, when we go out of town or because of all the rain we get here. Question is what’s up with the price? Just a few years ago a 35# pale of tabs cost $85-90, but now it’s $200!!? Whats Up?

Hey Marty..My Active 20 is about 4 years old and does a good job with the pool, climbs the wall fine but as long as I’ve had it , it has only pushed itself along waterline once that I’ve seen (about 4 feet). I was impressed😎

Check! I will run the pump 24/7 and keep FC 9-10. Thanks

A few weeks ago the pool went a little green so I slammed. With all the rain it’s been hard to keep up. Thanks, I’ll keep testing.

Yes, I drain occasionally and there is evaporation and I think I have a small leak somewhere in one of the pipes. I put the quotes around the 30 because of it being so low. I don’t have any tile or grout, what if the pool is just a tad bit cloudy?

ph 7.5 fc 9 ta 130 ch “30” cya 30 The amount of rain we have had in the last few months has been mind boggling. Almost every day we have storms. Keeping the pool water in check is a nightmare. Getting the CH in check I’m needing 20+ pounds. Trying to boost cya up some..(it was 50 a month ago)...

Marty..what do you keep your TA and CH at?

I went ahead and bought the stabilizer…I did notice on the bag that it said made in China, not that that’s a bad thing but I associate Clorox with made in USA, oh well I’ll try it tonight and see how it works.

Thanks… I was looking at the calcium increaser also but I may pass on that, thanks again for the advice

I’m needing to boost my CYA and was wondering about the quality of Clorox pool chemicals. Lowes has a pretty good price on the stabilizer it’s like half of what the pool store is asking.

Thanks.. I’ll check it out…

I haven’t used the pool calculator for a while, is there not a free calculator any longer or do you have to purchase the calculator? I don’t mean to sound cheap. On December 7, 2004
