Hello everyone. I am really struggling to find help to diagnose my 18 yr old Hayward H250 ED2 natural gas pool heater. I am getting the IF error code after the standard trying three times to light. We use our heater a whole lot. We also used it starting out this pool season until I started...

Hi, I've been a BBB customer for a couple of years now and it is going great but I'm battling a rising PH level I can add acid to get it down to 7.6 and it gets it in check, but after 10 days or so I go back to 8.0 plus. I add acid and repeat the process. My TA levels stay pretty constant at 70...

Hi, I'm in my 2nd yearr of trouble free pool and just opened today. FC = 4; CC = 0; PH = 7.6; TA = 80 & CYA = 50. This seems to be where I settled out last year. I did bring up to shock when I closed and other numbers good My FC was 11 or so when I closed up last fall. My water looks good but I...

Hello, I'm new new TFP this season but everyone has been a tremendous help. Stabilizer is down and have gotten away from tablets completely and been using bleach and liquid chlorine. I have been told I can use the proper dosage of Cal Hypo (65%) directly into skimmer for my chlorine as well. Any...

New to the BBB method and TFP but have gained alot of ground in this pool season. I was wanting to see if an apr. 2PPM FC loss per day is an acceptable range?? I get about 6-7 hours full full sun. My current levels are FC 5 PH 7.6 TA 100 CYA 70. I'm using liquid chlorine and reg. bleach. Just...

Hi, I was needing some advice on lowering PH. After 5 partial drains my CYA is finally down to 70, FC 5, TA 110 and PH has been slighty increasing but has leveled off at 8.0. I've never used muratic acid so I'm a little nervous about my vinyl liner. I've seen various you tube video's where some...

I'm in the process of doing partial drains in order to get stabilizer levels under control. How long should I wait before I conduct new tests after I've re-filled, 12hrs....24hrs?? Thanks in advance! andersonsa

I'm having trouble getting chlorine to stick around. I have an 18,311 gal vinyl inground. I have been using the dichlor/ trichlor tablets in a feeder for the last several years (before I found you guys!!)and created a huge CYA number, I have drained close to 1/2 the pool 3 times and have gotten...

I have been using cal hypo the last week or to chlorinate due to stabilzer being high. I have drained 1/2 three times and it is lower but still 130 or so. The Cal Hypo is pushing my PH up so I was thinking about using bleach. Is it safe to do so now after I have used Cal Hypo for the last...
