Thanks Richard for your quick response! Sorry I couldn't answer you right away, I was invaded by a bunch of friends!!. Well... apparently my filter doesn't have any air bleed and I looked around twice, the good thing is that the bubbles disappeared in 30 minutes leaving only one "stable" bubble...

Hi! this morning I attempted to vacuum my above ground pool and mistakenly I let some air to get inside of the system. I can see few bubbles in the motor and small streams of bubbles coming out from the return every 2 seconds more or lees. What should I do? Thanks, Walfred.

Definitely the pool store will suck the money from your wallet with crapy stuff, they sold me the strips that Richard mentioned!. Well, I guess that I have to get the FAS-DPD test as soon as I can before I ruin my pool's water! Thanks guys for the advice! Walfred.

Thanks Richard!, and last question for today, could you please guide me to a link where I can see a chart or something showing when in the day we have to add other chemicals?, I'm asking this because few minutes ago I read in another website that we should be adding acid early in the morning and...

Hi Jason! I really appreciated!, definitely there are many things that I need to learn. One last thing about this topic, accordingly to the Recommended pool Chemical section, we have to leave the pump running at least 30 minutes, that could be interpreted like we should add the chemicals before...

Hi there, I'm a newbie on this pool staff. I recently bought a house with a 12' rounded pool x 4' high, I found this topic about how to lower de TA, PH, quite simple steps to follow, but is not clear for me where and how to add for example dry acid, which is the one that I bought (is kind of...
