I'll try to be as brief as I can. 9 days ago we had a party with a lot of swimmers. weather has been hot and sunny. the day after the swim readings were FC-6 CC-0 PH-7.6 TA-70 CYA-70 CH-150 Borates-40 Salt-3600 Was gone for a few days, then 2 days ago the boss sprayed fertilizer on lawn near...

don't know how you do both Kimkats, but here's to you and teachers everywhere:cheers:

Wow, I was impressed with you guys before, now I have proof. Took the cover off the pool and for the first time in 19 years I see the bottom. I could actually see the little clumps of debris that I vacuumed out easily. A little cloudy and cold (58) but almost swimmable. Even though I've been...

Well, winterization went well, until I decided to clean the circupool si30 cell. When I went to reinstall it I cracked the nut on the union to cell connection. Nothing like replumbing :rolleyes: Trying to find the right union locally is proving to be hard. I can get the new unions through...

Ok, I did a search for this answer, but probably missed it. :rolleyes: I was looking at homemade weed killing solutions and I noticed several times it was mentioned adding salt to "keep" the weeds from returning. It was stated "be careful where you spray" as the salt would keep anything from...

Well,.. to most of the 88,000 plus members this will be "preaching to the choir", so I will apologize ahead of time. To any new members or those "lurking about", this is why. I have only been a member of this site for 2 months, so what makes me such an expert ? The answer is.. I'M NOT. What I...

I'm going to start the borax treatment today. PH is 7.4, TA is 70, CYA is 60 ( I think) I think I will leave CYA adjust till after borates (if you think that's wise) My question is when adding the borax and acid can or should I aerate the pool as I go or just leave it on normal return. :-?

I realize I'm probably over thinking this (or I just need longer arms) But.... I have been coming up with a CYA reading of about 60 and was debating raising it. Instead I said lets do it the right way. So I received my CYA, CH, and TA reference solutions today. (very fast shipping, Thanks...

Pool return : OFF does that mean the return line from the pump is closed ?

After reading some posts on where to set drains (i.e. drain vs. skimmer) I am wondering if we have been setting ours wrong all these years. Our pool has two drains in the deep end and one skimmer at the shallow end. There is one valve that lets me set one or both drains open or both closed and...

Tf-100 arrived and I've been testing (did the CYA 8 times):confused: I think I have some accurate numbers to report PH - 7.3 FC - 23.5 CC - 0 TC - 23.5 ? CH - 350 TA - 110 CYA - 85 ( pretty sure ) Pool sides and bottom are clear, water is just cloudy. Ch is a little high for SWG. I need to...

As Richard320 described the difference in chlorine levels. A funny but very accurate way to tell the difference. I don't know about you, but I have always had trouble with shades of color. Mauve is pink to me. Lime looks light green to me. And as I get older my vision is more questionable. This...

Well, I sure could you some advice. I posted the other day about opening my "green" pool and received some very good information. Here is where I'm at now. I put things on hold and did a lot of reading on this site waiting for my TF-100 kit to arrive today. But apparently UPS had a traffic...

This should probably be listed under dumb questions, but here goes. I am in the process of slamming after opening the swamp for spring. last summer we switched to SWG when new liner was installed. Until the TF-100 arrives I'm guessing how much of my chlorine reading is good chlorine. I have now...
