    Buying a pool cleaner

    I've been researching cleaners and didn't realize there are so many. Wow, how confusing. I'm debating between the Polaris 9300 and the Dolphin advantage. Any advice on either of these two brands, would be appreciated.

    Ok, thank you for the quick reply. Any idea on the amount of stabilizer and chlorine it would take to start out?

    Aqua Trol and new water in pool

    Hello, we are fairly new to this pool thing. We had to replace our liner in a 1 year old pool. We drained the pool and got the liner in. We upgraded the swg to a Hayward Aquatrol. In the instructions, it says you should not start the Aquatrol until the water is balanced. This seems kind of...

    Water temp?

    Is there a specific temperature the water should be before you close the pool. Someone told us 55 degrees, but I have not seen anything on the boards that says this. Thanks for the help.

    Well today the ph is down to 7.4 and now we have no free chlorine. How did we go from 0.6 free chlorine to nothing. I added the acid and bleach amount the pool calculator said yesterday and shocked. Help! Feeling very lost!! TA is 270 CYA is 32

    Also, I guess my test kit doesn't come with the Borate test. Is it really important to test for that, and if so, do you have to buy a separate kit?

    Yay! After adding the bleach and acid we have chlorine for the first time. Here are the new readings. FC - 0.6 CC 0.8 PH 7.8 TA 280 CH 440 CA 25 Thanks for all the help. Is it better to run the swg at night or in the daytime?

    adding salt

    Ok, thanks. Do you add it anywhere in the pool or should you add it through the skimmer? Also, how long should you wait to recheck the ph?

    Thank you. I purchased the taylor test kit. Here are the results I have. Fc-0 PH 8.3 Ta - 300 ppm C hardness 500 ppm Cy Acid 20 ppm If I am reading this right, to lower the ph I need to add 2 quarts of muriatic acid. Does this sound right?
