Tried searching threads but really didn't see/find my question/answer. I have a 23k gal vinyl free form pool, gas heater, Hayward pump. I use liquid chlorine, and rarely have to do anything else other than a little acid if pH starts rising. It has never been higher than 7.9. Hovers about 7.4...

Freeform, vinyl, 21,000 gal, cartridge filter, Hayward pump, Rheem gas heater, mesh cover. Pool was very dirty/cloudy yesterday but is clearing up nicely and I have 90% of all the leaves, twigs and bugs skimmed out. Have not fired up heater yet. This afternoon while I was skimming again, I...

No cover. It's a kidney shape and I have a mesh cover for winter. I will repeat the chlorine drop tests in the morning. It's raining here now.

Here are my TFP results taken at 3:0 pm today 6/6/22: FC 6.5 CC 1.0 Cal Hardness 350 TA 110 Taylor test kit for Chlorine and pH: Chlorine 5-10 *see above I know it is still high as I dumped 2 gal liq in Friday mid morning pH 7.5

I will test with my TFP-100 kit when I get off my calls later and post here.

Here are my results as of 6/66/22: FC 6.19 (had .5 Chlorine Friday, added 2 gal) TC 6.1 ( " ) pH 7.8 (redirected return jets down instead of Up, added 1 c acid) TA 80* (leslie test says adjusted die to CYA on ALK) Cal Hardness 122 (leslies recommended Hardness Plus - do I really need...

Curious of those that have replaced liners, we are to get new one this week, if it stops raining. We are paying for trucked pool water. I asked if it would be balanced and I didn't get a straight answer which tells me they are pulling it from the nearest fire hydrant and bringing to house. So...

I have 3 return jets, 1 wall skimmer and 1 main drain. I use a Tiger Shark robotic cleaner and also good old fsahioned suction pole with hose and net. One of the pool guys told me and I don't know if it is true or he's full of it, that the next time I have liner replaced, they can cap off the...

Inherited/bought a pool in 2006. It has a in floor Caretaker system that is not really working. How is this piece of equipment taken out or disconnected to the other equipment? The head has been replaced 2x. One of the floor values popped out and is stripped and no longer available. One...

I came out to check on the equipment and chlorine Sunday late and found that my heater was spewing water out the vent fins side. I shut it off and shut off the valves to it and turned off gas. My guy came on Monday and opened up the cabinet and found that the drain plug was loose and. He...

waste, I'm fairly newbie here and have ISSUES with an inherited pool with a caretaker (well it says on one of the pop up heads Environ Pools). How can we contact one another for a Q & a session?

Following this as I have something similar going on. I have 26k gal vinyl kidney shaped pool. Losing water and I think that the skimmer is cracked. I have two large lines with red handles. Usually when we are washing filters or adding chemicals we will turned those two handles to the off...

Thanks! I called my clients and asked them to look in the box of papers and manuals the previous owner left for them also.

Need some advice for one of my new homeowners who has an inground pool with automatic cover installed. The pool was closed and winterized by the sellers as part of the sale to my clients. First time pool owners and although I have a pool, I don't know the answer to their question, as my pool...
