the sand was worn down so much it was coming out of the return we think. i was always told to change sand in filter every 5 years. Doesnt it get worn down over time? Even Hayward the company that makes the filters says the following: When do I need to replace my sand? On average, sand should...

Have you checked on your filter to make sure its running properly? What kind of filter is it? We have sand and i just had to change the sand not realizing it had been 7 years since i had changed it last.

Thank you so much. I cant wait for everything to be in range so i can be at peace. lol. oh and it turns out my kit is the taylor test kit and i also have the taylor test for stabilizer. been using this kit for years, ive never used strips. I even have a fancy kit to test my fish tank water.

guess ill keep draining and filling to get that CYA down. it goes down about 5ppm a week.

Above ground 18x34x52 sand filter CYA=95 is not optimal but has come down from draining and filling. Here are my current levels here at 6pm EST New York: FC=3.21 pH-7.6 ALK-100 I know i have to keep the chlorine on the higher side bc of the high CYA. So my question is how much sod hypo 12% do i...

im waiting for the sun to go down and pool filter to turn on. 3-11

i didnt see anything funky. It does say on box u can use for pools. It yields 7.17% available chlorine. Active ingredient is Sodium hypo

its not that i dont care ive had this pool for 15 years. I have a new liner and i dont want to destroy it. I do have a test kit its got all the reagents in it, its always registered to what leslies tests come out to be. So whenever i may think one reagent has gone bad i go bring the water to...

was that for a CYA reading of 100? i just took the CYA reading myself and it matches leslies. I do have 2 gallons of 12% on hand. I had wanted to get more but when i called they said they were out of stock on not getting any until wednesday. Is Chlorox really bad? its 7.5% i got it from Costco...
