We completed my pool last summer and I went with Chlorine. With the rising prices in Chlorine I bit the bullet and bought a Pentair IC40. I already have a Pentair 320 Inline Chlorinator installed. My question is can I have this run inline with the new SWG to use to supplement when needed and...

I opened my pool this year to find this yellowish/brownish stuff all over the pool. I tried a chlorine puck and vitamin c. Neither seemed to work. Is it calcium or metal maybe? Any help would be appreciated!

I opened on Monday to terrible green swamp water and some staining on my step. I’ve been running non stop since then. Added tons of shock, brushed, and cleaned filters. Took readings today and got this: FC - 6 CC - 0 TA - 30 PH - ?? Yellow way below the 7.0 that my Taylor kit shows CYA - 30...

Hello, I'm trying to get my pool up and going. It is clear enough to see the bottom and and I started to vacuum last night. I was getting the dirt right back in through all of my return lines. I have 4 Pleatco PA137 cartridge filters that I bought 2 years ago. Last night I opened the pod...

Ok I did a Jacks Magic treatment in late April/May. It says you will get false FC readings for about a month. Well I've reached that point. I've been seeing high CC levels and decided to SLAM the pool today. Levels before: FC- .5 CC - 8 pH - 7.8 TA - 120 Cya - 50 I raised my FC up to slam...

I'm having issues getting my pool back in balance after I did the jacks magic treatment. I currently have TA at 80 and PH is well above 8.0 (my test maxes out at 8.0). I did pool math and added muratic acid to bring down ph but then I need to add more baking soda. Is there a way to lower ph...

Hello, I have a Hayward Ecommand 4 that controls my lights, pump, and booster pump for my pool cleaner. It is about 5 years old. When I opened my pool I noticed it wasn't keeping up with the time correctly. After speaking with Hayward the only way to correct this is to replace the board...

It will soon be time for me to begin opening my pool. Olive in OK where we have hot summers, but over the past two years that I've had it the pool doesn't seem to get warm enough. It gets sun about 70% of the day with one tree sometimes blocking part of it. I don't want to buy a heater, so...

Ok so I have some pretty good scaling in my pool as well as some other stains. I purchased two Jack's magic test kits, and tested each seperatly. I found that the 02 shock and then the #2 stain remover would take care of both of them. My question is when should I treat for the stains. Should...

I started getting these copper looking stains last year. It seems like I am starting to get more. I'm not sure exactly what they are or how to fix. I tried a vitamin c tablet on it but it didn't seem to take it off. I used a chlorine puck and it removed it. Any ideas of something to put in...

Hello - I decided to switch to the BBB method. I bought a Taylor K-2006 kit, and did some testing. I tested two days ago, and was having some issues registering a CYA count. I remember from getting tested last year I was in the 60's normally (pool store). I retested today and this is what...

Hello all - I have a 25,000 gallon in ground pool. I have a hayward pump and a 4 cartridge hayward filter. My pool was clearing up after I opened it up and was told my filters needed replaced(which they did as they are 4 years old). I used pleatco brand filters for a replacement. I just...
