Hi everyone, I"m not on here much but here goes. We have a 27' round intex, I am not sure about it making it this year. Plunger valve broke and about to jerry rig it so it will work till can get another but. IF one of these rails or the band on the top finishes rotting, that will be a Crud...

I got the Taylor salt test last year and I can't remember.... Is it supposed to have particles/chunks in it that look clabbered when you put the first drops in? Can it go bad? I've had it sitting with the other testing stuff on top of the fridge in the garage. I've soaked my cell once but...

I am looking for the same answer. The outlets barley suck with two an then the fact that there is no skimmer or vacuum.

I don't think it was there long. She took a picture of it. I would think the chlorine would kill any virus. I think she wants to drain it though which is crazy. Thanks for the input.

If you found a dead bat in your pool would you just shock it really well? Its not me but a person I know. She has not had it tested for rabies as she found it today. I have no clue of any of her readings. Was not sure where to post this. Suggestions?

Last time I tested, couple months ago my borates were at 50. Think I should raise it?

Yep today before cleaning. I know oh and all high I added acid again. FC 9. (Need to trurn off swg a bit) Ph 8 Alk 160 Haven't tested cya recently it was 80 Didn't do cc last week was 0

Water has been perfect. Why did my visitor decide to join me? He is also beige not brown and all alone....[attachment=0:1gpp8qtf]image.jpg[/attachment:1gpp8qtf]

But don't you naturally raise the PH by aeration which does not raise the TA, then add acid which lowers them both and keep going until the desired levels? Like if I get the ph to say 8 and my ta is 60 but i add acid and it lowers the ph to 7.2 and the ta to... whatever it would be... then...

NP about not seeing it. I'd posted a separate post then when it didn't show I just edited the other one. The PH is high but I've been aerating to raise it and help bring the alk down. It will in time.... Thanks!

Is it not showing? I posted it and it obviously disappeared so I edited the last post to add it again. It's at the bottom of the last post. The cya level is 80 but can go out and test it again now to see if it's reading different from last week.

FC 8.5 CC 0 PH 8 TA 170? slightly pink but another drop makes it red so 180? just added acid to lower been trying to aerate. CYA 80. I posted that but not sure where it went..
