Deep end too. Slow steady drop from 3' to 6' kidney shaped pool.

Had a Kreepy Krauly but it got pushed all over the pool by the jets. I bought the aftermarket plugs but the pressure is still too strong. I have a 1 1/2 hp pump that is not variable and overpowers any type of setup that runs the same time as the pump. My main concern is the dust/dirt on the...

Will do. Thanks

TA now down to 80. When should I stop? FC- 50 Ph- 7.4 TA- 80 CH- 300 CYA- 50 Borates- 50

I use liquid chlorine that I pour in myself from the jug. All waterfalls and aerators are off. I'll bring down the TA and report back.

I've tried to maintain an active Ph of 7.4-7.6 but it rises daily about 0.4Ph. I live in Phoenix and have metal stains that I'm currently working on. This is due to neglect from previous pool service and myself. I've been onboard with the TFP program for about 5 or 6 months now and test my...

Good advice about FC of 24ppm. So I should leave the popups running with the pump at night? Will do.

The Ph is low due to going overboard with the acid last week. My fault.

I'm curious too. Do you have a plaster pool? Is a robot recommended for plaster?

Rotated the black handle 180 degrees and the poppet valves in the bottom of the pool started working. LOTS of bubbles when they started. Then progressed to steady water. I assume I should leave the handle facing left. What happens if it's straight up or straight down? Obviously I was wrong...

That gauge's needle doesn't move when I run the pump. I'm unsure if that's due to the gauge being broken or not. I can hear and sense plenty of water coming through the chamber there and the jets on the sides of the pool show a lot of water moving with the pump on.

Still some copper staining on the wall that you can see in picture two. The third picture is the gauge that reads at 30psi when the pump runs. The last picture has the main black handled valve that I'm unsure where to place it. The vertical valves left to right are... -waterfall -spray (the...

The cloudy water was an anomaly since I took that right after I scrubbed the walls. PSI reads 0 when off. I don't know where to put the handle when vacuuming. That could be an issue. More pictures in a minute.

Psi steady at 30-32 Not much algae or debris. Some air does leak in. I'm not sure how to go about avoiding that. I backwash probably once every week or so.

Pictures....
