I had my liner replace back in April 2020, and have had leak issues since. I had contacted the old pool guy that put it in 20 years a go and has done my liner replacement before he had the old drawings so easy. He had his arm in sling said he wasn't up to speed and was going to have this other...

Long story short had a liner put in april 2020, and we've been fighting a leak for a while. Unfortunately we were bait and switches by our old pool builder from 20 years ago(3rd liner now) since he had broken arm and the new company is completely useless. Guys would say he would show up and...

I had purchased some large triangle sun sails and after trying smaller mounting points it became obvious that when you start researching it you either need 6x6 or 4" schedule 40 galvinized pipe and lots of concrete. I was looking for something that was semi portable and we went to the beach and...

I have a fairly large crack in my bottom step, whats the best method for repair? I know they make a epoxy spray foam you can inject under step and then repair the crack like a tub.

Long story short i had my neighbors 90' pine tree fall into my pool in Jan. Tore up equipment, poked giant hole in liner. Insurance was great they paid for the cleanup, fence and replacing all equipment and new liner. Everything has been in for about 2 months and definitely had a leak issue...

CYA was my epiphany at understanding why i had issues every single year. You get a cloudy, green pool all of a sudden, your free chlorine is spot on, all the chemicals look good so you go to pool store. They sell you algecide, shock, water clarifier etc. Pool looks great again but the cycle...

Ive been running my Stenner for over 3+ years now and its perfect for chlorine injection. My initial setup was 2 5 gallon buckets with a T to connect and I've tried plastic 1/4"T from Lowes(melted within a day or so) and brass ones(which gummed up with green goop from reactions with chlorine)...

Been doing the liquid chlorine route with the Stenner and timer for 3 years now and pool has been great. This year every time it injects it seems to raise my PH and it gets to 8 so i need to add PH-Down to get it back down. Seems about every 2-4 days it gets too high. I have tried various...

hey guys going into my third successful year of using the BBB method the only thing i do is fill up my chlorine buckets and the Stenner injects its really worked very well no issues pools been great. However last year i developed metal staining and using absorbic acid in a sock makes it go away...

Posted a while back still same issue FC-8ppm CC-0PPM CYA 60 TA 100 PH 8 These were from this AM. Pool loses approx. 4PPM per day, I inject 4X to keep it between 6-8 PPM all day. Pool is perfectly clear no issues just cannot get PH under control. I do have some metal staining I need to deal...

Been doing BBB for almost 2 years and things have been really smooth, however this year I am having some issues with PH and TA. I run a Stenner for injection that's works like a charm 30 minutes raises FC by 1 PPm so its really easy. My PH and TA were great last year, my PH never really bounced...

Haven't posted here in quite a while because frankly things are great! I only just went in the pool this week so have only been really watching PH religiously for a month or so. One thing I noticed was if chlorine is lower say 2PPM my PH was perfect at 7.6. However going up to 7 where it should...

So I started with the TFP method 2 years ago after finding out what CYA really does and how it is the cause of a lot of issues if it gets to super high numbers. I was way over 200 god only knows what it was. I was able after much draining to get it below 80, got a stenner and its been smooth...

So its been almost a little over a year since converting this has worked out really well. Bought a Stenner around the 4th of July now its pretty fool proof. Just looked at numbers been traveling a lot. FC 8 PPM CC 0PPM PH 7.6 TA 50?? CYA 55 Cl 110 Temp 50 This gives me a CSI of -.91 i thought...

So I have been running the TFP method for a year now, and have some observations and questions. I have always ran the pool at the recommended dosage of 8PPM in the AM, let it fall during day and then added at night. I got a Stenner a few months back and its works perfect, a 30 min run yields 1...

I know that if FC gets too high then the PH numbers will be off. Question is are PH numbers the same at FC levels of 4, 6, 8 (all in range of my CYA of 50) I am seeing some PH bounce around over the last week or so from 7.4 to 7.7-7.8(not quite the color of 7.8 but not 7.6). I didn't record the...

So i had put a Stenner in right around the fourth of july it was working perfectly went on vacation and it had issues stopped working and i ended up with some algae.(separate thread). Did the SLAM on Monday this week, all looks perfect now just wanted some numbers opinion. FC 7.5 CC 0.0 CYA...

I had gotten a Stenner pump, and tank setup and injection back in beginning of July and everything was running fine for 2 weeks. I had it completely setup, my pool was using 4PPM a day would measure in morning at 3PPM and at night at 7PPM. All good for weeks. Chlorine loss was less than 1 ppm...

So just got a Stenner 45 MPH10 off ebay. no accessories so I need to purchase a kit that has all that stuff. Supposed to be brand new for $65. I think they made a mistake on the ad as they said 12V instead of 120V on don't think they make a DC version of the 45MPH10. I got burned on another one...

So got a stenner 45MHP10, no accessories. Trying to get a parts list going to hook up . Looks like I need tubing, a injection check valve, adapter, ferrules nuts etc. trying to find a good source for a kit ones I am seeing has a tube don't need that right now. Also what size tubing thinking 3/8...

So with all the rain we have had, I checked my CYA and its down to 35! When I started it was un-measurable with a 4:1 dilution of distilled water and the pool water it was still over 100. I drained probably 3/4 of the pool in Sept and refill, now with all the rain and refills my CYA is where we...

So I converted to the BBB method the end of last year and I wanted to get some automation for the chlorine. I got a Stenner 45mp5 for injection. I was planning on sending to liquid chlorine into my old tab feeder to inject the chlorine. I know most people figure out how much the pool uses per...

hey guys just starting things up for the season wanted to make sure things are ok. I switched to the BBB method last sept after figuring out my CYA was well over 200 and had trouble controlling the pool. I did a refill and got the CYA down to 55-60 so pretty happy. Last week I was traveling and...

Finally got the CYA under control. Final numbers- CYA 55, FC 6, CC 0, PH 7.4, TA 60 Calcium 60. Water temp 60. Number look good but the CSI index seems high at -1.1. Do I need to raise my TA and CL before my final SLAM or can I leave for winter? Its a vinyl with a heater so not sure about the...

So I came here looking for some help with algae to find out the evilness that is Tri-clor pucks. While they are easy to use, after a while of use they raise the CYA to such ridiculously high levels that you need to keep the FC very high. I did not know this and my FC was always around 5 or so...

Had another post on it last week wanted to start a new one. So was getting some green stuff on walls and bottom last week, I vacuumed Sunday and cleaned filter. My CYA is somewhere between 160-180 based on a 4:1 dilution and doing the test a couple times to see where the dot disappears.(40-45)...

Hey guys I converted over about a month ago after seeing how high my CYA was and having some algae issues due to keeping the FC at 4-5 based on recommended levels(without taking CYA into account.). I drained about a third out, there has been a lot of evap and now with all the rain in the...

so first time poster never really ran into this have had the pool 12 seasons and never had any issues. I test water with strips every few days, test kit weekly and took to pool store a few times a season just for a full test always ok. I have bought my 3" tabs from Lowes or Walmart put them in...
