Having issues again with metal stains and am tired of spending money to “sequester” them. does any one know How or tried to totally remove them? and what is the procedure? I would assume it would have to be drained out and refilled correct? i wonder why one would want to have them sequestered...

I have had this pool and maintained it myself for 8 years. Always assuring proper levels. The pool always had a greenish tint to It. I thought it was due to the color of the pebble tec .Or some other background factor. So a few weeks back i used a jacks magic bottle to remove some suspected...

Since a AA treatment is utilized to remove metal stains and with other chemicals such as a sequestering agent to keep stains from reforming wouldn’t it be wise to get the stains sequestered and while they are in the water and not on your pool to drain the pool and get rid of the metals...

I am in the process of a slam since I am loosing 1.5 ppm on the OCLT but before I started I had a reading of 0 on the CC. So my question is is it possible to have algae consuming fc while no reading on cc? All other levels are in range with a cya of 90.

I know my chlorine should between 3 and 5. My problem is my water is clearest at 7 and 8. When I let it Drop down it starts getting cloudy around 5. All other levels are in range. Why is this happening? Thanks

All my levels are where they should be according to tfpc. My question is....and I know tds means nothing but my tds level is 5000 So I still don’t need to worry about that correct? iron is .2 Any worries there? And does sequesterants alter the test? copper is 0. So I know there is...

Correct me if I’m wrong but a pool maintained by the tfp way should never need sequesterants. So after years and years of maintaining my pool the tfp way and asumming my waters greenish hue was how it was supposed to be. after using some jacks magic ( long long story of why, iron related. ) my...

Hello all, I looked and looked and could not find a answer. So does sequesterants affect my other chemicals? Specifically jacks magic purple stuff. And what are the affects of polyquat 60? Does either it raise or lower. Chlorine, cya, ph,ta,salt, ch? Thanks again!!

Is it possible to have iron staining on walls and floors, but when water tested for iron test show no iron in water. Thanks all!!

After reading all about the AA process. I am unclear if I need to remove my cartridge filter?

I was thinking wouldn’t it be a lot easier to get in the pool ( still full of water)with a pressure and try to pressure wash the algae off from the walls and floors? It seems hard for me to do a good job with a wire brush on the pole. If you haven’t guessed I am dealing with mustard algae that...

Working with algae and feel I could get a better job done if I could be in the pool. Cya was at 60 when I started 5 days ago and I’ve been holding 24 ppm on chlorine. Is it safe to be in the pool?

New main board, older tcell 15, I have my timer set for 12pm to 8pm @ 70%. Did a super chlorinate for 10 hours last nite and it raised level 6ppm. Went out and looked at my diagnosis screen and it said CHLORINATOR OFF,PERCENTAGE MET. so at 2 hours into my 8 hour cycle in turned off the swg...

Does anyone know where to find a schematic that shows parts and locations of what’s n the main board? GLX PCB MAIN is the board I have. Thanks

Can’t seem to get my water as clear as normal. Only with high levels of chlorine does it get clear. It’s not very cloudy now but like 1 step below where it should be. Maybe a slight murky. Pump runs 8 hours a day at 80% ( summer months) I have been maintaining my chemistry myself for years...

I can’t remember where I ordered all my testing supplies, I know it was from this site but can’t find the link or store to reorder. Help please.

Hi all, I maintain my pool myself and was wondering why my water is more on the green side rather than blue.. It's always been like that since I've owned it and my chemicals are are always balanced. I'm thinking its from the beach like finish of my pool vs. a white finish. But I ,m not sure so...

I was wondering if anyone knows if I need a license to sell cyanuric acid on eBay?

I am currently running a Hayward super 2 pump that is 1.5 hp. Reallosticly would I bennifit going to a DC variable pump. I mean would I see a differance in my power bill? I run my pump now 6 hours a day 7 days a week.. And I have a pretty large solar system so would a slowed down variable speed...

Hey all. I always knew I didn't have a air blower for my built in spa but instead a pipe coming out the ground with a grate on it that gurgles when I run the spa. So I'm wanting to understand the details of how this works. Or if anyone knows of a link showing piping schematics. I would assume...

I'm just curious to how often other people are having to add salt to thier pool. If I'm correct the only way to lose salt is by a leak, splash out. I feel I'm having to add salt more than I should so I would like some comparison. I add a 40 lb bag like once a moth. I live in central Florida. But...

ok. I just installed 450 sq.ft of solar panels by heliocoil 10 panels. Before solar: filter read 12 psi with new filter. After solar: 21 psi. So after adding solar I gained 9 psi and the water return to the pool seems a little slower or should I say less pressure. Question is this too...

I maintained my moms pool for 20 plus years. It was concrete then plaster. Very basic no extras. I never had to add water (due to evaporation). I would go six months or more never adding water. Sooooo. My current pool is concrete that looks like beach sand. Rock waterfall about ten feet wide...

Is there something wrong with my chemical balance? All chemicals are in range but for some reason I am always having to add acid to lower my ph. I use almost a half gallon a week. Everything else stays fine. But like I said I'm averaging 1-2 cups a day of acid. Is this normal beacause of the...

wife just got me a hayward navigator pro. It's in pool now and appears to be working. My question is should I leave it the pool 24-7? My pump runs four hours a day so the cleaner will only run four hors a day but is it ok to leave in the pool when not running? Thanks all!!

I have read a lot on here regarding adding calcium. There seems to be different was and processes. My question is.....I need to add 16 pounds, I will mix in bucket first. But whats the most I can add in one day? Or can I do all 16 pounds in one day? Current level is 175 want to get to 300 being...

Leak detection found a leak under the skimmer. Probably in the 90. My skimmer has 2 holes in it for pipes,looked at pool blueprints and 1 goes to the pump and the other next to the pump capped off. Sort of a spare if you will. So I uncapped spare and ran it to pump,capped off leaking line, and...
