    There’s bacteria that will convert CYA to other compounds for energy and not always convert it to ammonia. But it’s more than likely...

    Already Marty'd ya. ;)

    Do you mix the water before taking a sample? Rain water on top can be zero CYA while the pool water you started with may have some CYA...

    You lose a few ppm per month to degradation. It's not noticeable during the season but adds up when you walk away from the pool for 6...

    No way! Mine does not say the last part. THANK you

    Are there two different tests in the TF-Pro test kit? I’m just going by the reagents and the laminated sheet. It says 25mL pool water...

    I think it has more to do with the removal of CO2 (ie Carbonic Acid), which thereby increases pH, rather than messing with the water...

    Awesome! I’ll try to dig it up. I love this community. So helpful.

    Definitely test your tap water. I remember Rochester having water back in the day (long time ago) that needed a LOT of treatment. So...

    You can trust the pool math app for acid dosing recommendations as long as you have it set up with the correct number of gallons for...

    Wow, this is fantastic. So aerating essentially adds O2 to the -OH molecules thereby neutralizing the acidity and raising pH. Makes...

    No, I have not, we have used the pool 8 of the last 9 days and I haven’t added any water. I’m guessing that it won’t have a massive...

    Okay, so by lowering pH with MA (according to pool math I need 51 oz at 29%) I am simultaneously lowering TA. Got it. What l don’t get...
