Interesting. I have 12 bottles of 12.5% that are dated 5/09/2016 on the bottle. They have been sitting in my garage for over a year. I live in Central WI. I did a CL test and it was 4.5. Added 4 cups of 12.5% and did a CL test 40 mins later. It was 7.5. I have a 14,435 gallon pool. I took the...

I agree pics would help. It is not uncommon to have a very slight impression where the wall seam comes together. It depends on the method the manufacturer uses to bring the two wall seams together. Most pools have a wall seam that overlaps for a few inches. The overlap of the wall seam along...

Just checked. CYA is 45. The pool hasn't been used in over 14 days so I am pretty much relying on the sun. And up here the days are getting really short, really fast.

Did an OCLT. This mornings results: FC 12.5 CC 0 I will do another CYA test at noon today in full sun. Thanks for the tips. I didn't know I could rerun the test. It said wait 30 seconds. I wrongly assumed that the results were dependent on a reaction that was based on time. Realistically, I...

The water is crystal clear. No signs of mustard or any other algae. I haven't added chlorine of any type or form since 9/14.

Got my t-100 and here are the results today. Took them after sunset. Water Temp is 73 degrees. PH 7.5 FC 12.5 CC 0 CH 100 TA 110-120 CYA 45-49 With the TA test it says red. It turned light red at 110. got just a bit darker at 120, but not much. I ran the CYA, twice. Got 49 the first time. And...

I did the SLAM on 9/14 and haven't added any chlorine since 9/14. The pool store did the testing on 9/19. So 5 days. I am waiting to get the t-100 test kit. Are you saying that the CC is appearing and then disappearing between 9/14 and 9/19? doesn't seem likely because I haven't added any...

So what has happened here is the wall was lifted out of the lower track. At the same time the upright was displaced from the front buttress that normally holds the front upright at a 90 degree angle forcing an oval pool into a straight line. The load was picked up by the back crossed buttress...

On Labor Day weekend I had a breakout of MA. I did a SLAM on 9/14/15. During the SLAM I am guessing that I probably over did it and had the FC at least up to 50+. I know that I have should have not have put that Chlorine in the pool. I ordered a t-100 test kit, but got results from a pool place...

where you dug for the hole for the fence post was it near the foundation of your home? If it was then the water you saw was due to the drain tile system that was installed when your home was built. Given that propane tanks are normally installed much further away from the home for obvious...

If you have a winter cover during the winter, then you need to have water in the pool to prevent the water/snow/junk that accumulates on the the cover from pulling the walls down if the water level inside your pool drops.

on my bigger monitor I can see your photos a little better. it looks like you have coping for a beaded liner. but the liner appears to run under the coping? It is really difficult to tell with the photos you have. Take the top rail off and submit more photos. of the front and back of the pool...

some oval pools have steel straps that run under the straight line of the pool to the opposite end upright. I don't see a strap at the bottom of the upright. I assume it uses a block buttress. normally there is a steel L shape plate to hold the buttress. you will need to reset that. you might...

if you got 12 years out of the liner, you did pretty good. Looks like a j-hook. Take off a section of the top rail to be sure before you order a new one. also it looks like some of the galvanized steel of the top track has corroded. you want to determine if any of that top track needs to be...

JVTrain. Just noticed the picture of your pool that looks very similar to the ones we used to deliver. Also noticed the gallons: 32K. A lot of water. Yeah I like living here in Weston. Winter is brutal and there is no spring to speak of, but summer and fall is great. Like I said we just put the...
