Uh oh. I'm going to try to attach some pics. - - - Updated - - -

Yes it does

So is there an issue with it being a "spa pump"? It says suitable for pool or spa on the stickers.

Our old pool decided to fall apart on us this year. We just had a new one installed today. I'm trying to be organized and keep all paperwork together and write model numbers and important info down. I can't find anything on the pump. The installers didn't seem to leave any manual (I'm going to...

Thanks! I've been using a skimmer sock (well, a woman's knee high :)) and that seemed to help a lot. Do my levels look good to you?

We opened our pool by ourselves for the first time this year (instead of the pool store doing it :)) And last year, after a new liner and refill, I started using bleach to chlorinate (was using a frog, CYA was out of control). Long story short, I wanted to give you a run down and get your...

I read a lot, but don't post often. This year, I decided to go BBB after we had a new liner installed. I'd dealt with very high CYA from previous owners using dichlor and my own naivety as a new pool owner the first few years. So anyway, the other day an HVAC guy come to service our A/C. When...

Smykowski - Thank you! I never really thought of it that way. I always assumed I had to pick a middle sweet spot and that too much chlorine was bad. I also was under the impression (not sure if I'm right or wrong still) is that BBB is supposed to be a less expensive way of caring for a pool. If...

I was adding 60oz, so bumping up to 4. So I was losing 2-2.5ppm per day. I'll try bumping to 6. Thank you! Oh and the last dose of stabilizer was only a couple days ago, so it may end up higher. I'll test again after it's been a weak.

So are you saying my results are good, or bad? I know I need more FC. I bump it up every night. And am in the process of figuring out where to bump it to, to keep it above 2/3 at it's low point.

Ahhhh! You're like a magic genie!! Thank you!

You know that bottom part of the PC? The one not in color, where it says "Effects of adding chemicals". I wish 8.25% bleach was an option now that it's so common in stores. I know you can change your number up top, but I specifically want to know "If I add 60oz of 8.25% bleach, my FC will...

I did a full(ish) set of tests today :) FC 2 PH 7.4 TA 80 CYA 40! (maybe between 30-40, I was going fast and am a little out of practice reading it). I need to play with the Pool Calc. a bit and see where I'm at.
