25,000 Gal 18x36 Vinyl Pool Pac Fab Triton II TR-50 Sand Filter with Zeobrite media 3/4 HP A.O. Smith E-Plus Pump (labeled HP=1.3?) Hello All, I originally asked a similar question over 5 years ago and thankfully my sand filter has lasted many seasons longer than I expected. It is finally...

The pump says CHii-3/4fe. No manufacture or anything else. Not sure where the 22,000 gal comes from but I was expecting to need a 5.0 CF filter.

I have read lots and lots of post regarding this topic but would like direction accounting for the newest pumps and filters on the market. I have a 24-25,000 gal IG vinyl pool with one skimmer basket and 2- returns. Current set up is a sand filter Triton TR-50 (currently filled with Zeolite)...

Sorry for my delayed response. I somehow missed the previous reply to my post. CC had risen to .5 and I was going to be away for 48+ hours. Living in the Arizona desert, water evaporation is on the fast side. Up until this week evaporation is around .5 inch or more per day. Since then the...

1240 6/24 Test results FC - 3.5 CC - Present <.5 CYA - 30 pH - 7.0 (Note Base demand test was 7 drops to 7.6) TA - 160 CH - 150 Pool is nearly filled at this time. Thinking of heading to the hardware store to build a return flow aeration device. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rick

Thanks for the input. I am spending the day making some adjustments and will post test results in a little while. Ph was running a little high this morning so I am attacking the Ph and TA as I post this. I used the pool calc and reduced the Ph to 7.4 while I was out to breakfast. Just made a...

I am now second guessing the addition of Borates to my pool considering the high TA. Does anyone have any suggestions one way or the other?

Wow, what a quick response, Thanks. I tested the well water with the following results: PH 7.6-7.8 TA 200 CH 120 So I guess this is where the TA value comes from. What is the best approach for getting the TA down considering that any water added will continue to add to the issue? As for...

Hello all, I have been lurking this forum for a couple of seasons and am finally ready to make the switch to the BBB method. I purchased a Taylor K-2006C and discovered the CYA level to be high (150+) as I had suspected. Initial test results: FC 8.4 CC .4 CYA 120 PH 7.0 TA 100 CH 250 I have...
