Greetings, Did a full drain a month ago (CH was ~1100 - Phoenix :( ) and would like to add borates back in as I had in the past. My pH tends to climb quickly, so the borates were a blessing! One thing I'm struggling with is the CSI when I play around with the calculator... After plugging...

Greetings, Apologies for the post as it seems this question has been asked by a dozen others, but I haven't seen other posts yet with numbers quite like my manufacturer is recommending. Recently (past spring) added SWG. Looking to add borates (and understand it won't help me use less...

Perhaps not, but close. I hope I'm not in a pickle here... Appreciate the review. Just added salt to my pool and it ended up off the charts. I am completely baffled as to how it got this high, and can't help but think there has to be some mistake. BEFORE: 4/9, 7pm 2.2 FC / 0 CC / 7.6 pH /...

I'm curious if someone who knows the chemistry of this kit can explain (in laymen's terms) why adding the Silver Nitrate to the indicator solution and salt water makes such a mess? It's interesting to see the sticky white mess it creates. Cleaning the test vial usually requires a bottle brush...

Greetings! I have been working on getting my water right, and recently dropped TA from 170 to 150 to 125 and now to 100 (at 100 for 2 weeks now). However, no matter what I do, my pH seems to be rising by about 0.2/day. I'll chase it back down with acid, and it immediately starts rising again...

The attached pic is while the pool was empty (grubby fingers included for size perspective). This is in the pool wall, on the opposite side of the pool from the IG skimmer, about 12-16" below the deck. There's nothing in the deck immediately above where this is, though the leveler is about 2'...

Greetings, New pool owner (well, existing pool, first-time pool owner). Did a complete drain of the pool on advice of Leslie's, then realized why they suggested that when going back in asking what chems I needed. Changing course. I'm waiting for my fancy new test kit in the mail, but...
