Thanks

I recently installed a 415 gallon jacuzzi and need to increase my cya. I had bought 2 boxes of this product http://www.lesliespool.com/Home/Pool-Chemicals/Pool-Shock/14543.htmlbefore I found this place and haven't used it since. but was thinking if it had cya and I could figure out the right...

I had no chlorine loss overnight.. I even checked it three times. :party: I am glad this is not mustard algae, but is it normal for pollen to just settle on the pool bottom in the low spots (I didn't use the perfect pool bottom liner thing) and I have used a skimmer sock(wifes panty hose...

Here are my readings tonight, Its been a busy weekend. I think the mustard algae I thought I had might just be pollen. Would an overnight chlorine loss test tell me if it is in fact algae. I haven't added chlorine since last Thur. but I took a reading on Sun. it was 15. I guess I should have...

Mustard algae is kicking my rear end. After trying my best 3 times a day adding bleach, scrubbing, and checking chlorine levels for 5 days, it is still there. I think I might not be scrubbing hard enough, the skimmer/brush pole extended is kind of flimsy, I noticed when at mustard algae shock...

I drained half my water and am in the process of refilling now, I need to pick up some bleach, looks like my local sam's club has the 182 oz 3 pack for $7.48.

Thanks for the heads up.. I will start draining tomorrow..Is there any reason not to drain half my water before starting to add water. I was going to use the vacuum hose set on bottom with the filter set to waste.

Here we are another pool season again, hard to believe...time flies. I have been avoiding getting rid of some mustard algae for too long. Like this is going on 3 years anyway I'm ready to really get rid of it. Here are my readings fc-27 cc-0 tc-27 ph-7.7 ta-110 cya-90 I have been at...

Wow talk about resurrecting a thread... Thanks for the compliments. I know about the jeep excitement, I've had mine for 6 years but still get excited taking the top and doors off for the summer. The yard isn't looking so great this summer yet, the simplicity is out of order for a while.. But...

Do this and keep at it This place has already saved me time and money I bought the TF100 and haven't looked back It is so nice to actually "know" and be in control of your water Post test results as stated above it will make it easier to help, and look back often at "pool school"

I second the pry-bar method. That will be the best & it should come right off once you get the hang of it.

When I was installing my deck (3 summers ago) I also purchased a "turbo tube slide". I was in the same boat and couldn't see dropping that much money on a "pool" slide. I did everything myself and was just wanting to get the deck finished so I decided not to put up the slide. The main reason...

Agree level does look a little low. In the first pic you can see the water line stains

I quit using the adapter plate thing after the first time. Now I just stick the hose straight in the hole. Like pool clown says is the method I use. Make sure to get it all hooked up put it in the pool then fill your hose from the return. After bubbles of air stop coming from the vacuum then run...

I am realizing more and more how much I've been missing. I did not test when I opened :oops: , I will from now on, I have been relying way too much on the occasional sample to the pool store. and paying too much for the stuff I need. (This will be our third full summer) No more I will go...
