Re: Can I add bleach & dry acid at the same time? high PH i ok, gotcha. thanks. Should my TA be a priority and keep using the dry acid to get it around the 70-90 recommended level? And one more, does bleach contribute to higher PH results? Thanks again for all the help. I need to get and...

Re: Can I add bleach & dry acid at the same time? high PH i thank you jbizzle, I haven't purchased CYA yet... probably should at this point. The kids are very wild while in the pool so I have a strong feeling they are a big contributor to the increased PH levels through aeration. I pulled...

Hi guys, My kids play in the pool everyday and splash (= aerate) like crazy which I'm assuming is causing very high PH. I test every night after they are done, and I'm pulling 8.0+ PH and 0 FC based off my taylor. I haven't taken an Alkaline test recently and i'm not using CYA. This pattern...

Re: Our first pool and first Taylor test results - iron issu Thanks PoolPete! What make and model pump/filter are you using? The one that came with the pool is insufficient to deal with this specific issue. I've been juggling with the idea of buying the 1500gph sand filter that everyone seems...

Here is my humble journal entry so far :oops: Sunday 6/3 pool filled approx. 70% added 3 cups bleach let sit over night without pump running Monday 6/4 8am - Noticed iron reacted to bleach; no deposits on liner, just suspended iron - finished filling pool 5:45pm - took first sample from...

Answered my own question... guess this 603 pump is a known issue and a design flaw. Bummer, hu?

Does this look right to you? The main vacuum of the filter is off-center... I've owned many water filters over my days and have never seen this before. The filter barely clears the side of that vacuum and is not a secure or snug fit that you would like to see. thoughts?? :roll:

Thanks for the reassurance JonnyBonz. Very much appreciated. too funny Bmann : ) That falls under the category of "not my problem." I'm the designated chemist, not the weatherman! ha!

I know, seems very simple, but after reviewing testing and treating processes, I'm finally ready to go to work. The pool should be 100% filled by the time I get home from work (wife is at home monitoring). This will also be my first time taking a full scale test results which I will post...

wow, great article! Great for a new pool owner like me. read every post. Good to hear it worked out for you Lisa! That was quite the battle! Thanks to all who contributed. It really was an interesting story to follow.

Thank you very much Jason. I'll probably give it a shot!

ha! Thanks guys. I actually did search the site and going by topic subjects, didn't see anything relevant. So I decided to jump to the chase and ask for recommendations. Honestly, I didn't notice the App icon on top of the pool calculator page. My mistake. Either way, I did see the...

Thanks guys! Actually planning on setting up the pool this weekend, so no results just yet! Just doing my due-diligence with research.

I tried to find the actual named calculator but didn't seem to find it. There are a variety of pool calc apps but they all seem to have a variety of pros and cons. Any suggestions?? Apple store app to be specific : ) Thanks in advance!
