One other suggestion would be to look at a speed stir. Added expense but I'd never be without one now that I have it. That may get you up to free shipping ;-)

Definitely get the kit now, its the best investment you can make for your pool. Knowing exactly what is going on and how to fix it will make your life easier. Plus the 3 or 4 weeks you have left will be good practice for next season. We filled our pool July 15th and the only reagent I...

If you are talking about adding Stabilizer, just use a regular sock/stocking suspended in front of one of your returns. Tie it to the end of a broom, just keep it away from your liner and make sure you weigh it down so it doesn't fall in. Give it a squeeze every once in awhile to speed it up.

The only extra ones I picked up for my K-2006 were: FAS-DPD (R0870 and R0871) and the CYA (R0013). At this time of year it might be best to wait till spring for fresh reagents? I imagine you are shutting down soon.

Also, they don't show the K-1766 salt kit or the speed stir on the retail site but if you inquire they will sell those to you as well through their commercial division on the same order. Strongly suggest the speed stir!!

Taylor K-2006 Complete Chlorine Test - Pool Supply Haus Ottawa Ontario Canada This is where I got mine, quick shipping and great service. Only the K-2006 but they will sell you any extra reagents you need. This time of year the K-2006 will be adequate and you can re-fill with fresh reagents...

Mine was less expensive but of course they tried to pre-sell me extra mineral cartridges. Been very happy with the performance of my Nature2 in our first year with the pool.

Your CYA level of 106 is high (and could be higher based on your own tests) thus the FC level required is also much higher. Below is from Pool School regarding CYA/FC. Your Slam numbers are correct based on your presumed CYA level. Plug some hypothetical lower CYA numbers into PoolMath to see...

It is a bit overwhelming at the start, I was in your same boat not long ago. Testing is your friend and you'll be shocked at how quick you can start dialing things in and understand whats happening in your pool. Testing and a lot of good help from the fine folks here will get you through in...

Thats the problem with radiant barriers and foils, on their own they provide next to no insulation. When coupled with a heat source they perform quite well. For example, we install radiant foil under concrete slabs with in-floor heat. On their own they do nothing but once the system is up and...

If you are still seeing higher prices on OSB, Plywood and lumber keep looking around. There are still retailers sitting with expensive inventory but prices have dropped considerably in the market. I can't speak for the US market but up here we have dropped our retails on the majority of...

I havent plumbed it in for bypass yet as my last 3 way jandy was delayed and I wanted to get everything functional. Been playing with numbers in the old pool math and once my CH hits 220 as planned it should put me right around 0 on the chart. So that is likely more important than TA at the...

My CH was low from initial fill so I've been adding to get it up into the 200 range (just for heater). I havent been dropping my PH much below 7.5 with the MA in order to keep my CSI borderline. Anything under 7.5 drops me under -.6 slightly thus why I'm not making much headway on TA. Will...

Been slowly fighting to drop my TA from 130 ish with MA over the last week and havent made much progress. Been super hot and windy here over the last 2 weeks so some fill water has been added. Decided to test fill tonight and I stopped at 40 drops and it just barely was starting to turn. We...

I have the 250k Universal and it was preset to 90 from factory. What you have listed is how I changed mine to a different temp - actually lower than 90 to keep the kids from turning it up ;-)
