And this would be better than adding Borates to my pool?

And the water backing up is not a good thing?

Yes the booster pump is on the make up line. Would it work if I coordinated the cleaner to only run when the spillway runs? I think there is always water coming thru the cleaner line just not boosted unless it’s running.

There are two automated valves you can see on the picture, the both are open for pool and both closed for spa.

Pretty sure it’s the way my goofy builder built the pool, when the spa runs the valves close and it does not spill over, when the pool runs the valves are open and water still goes to the spa causing the spill way to run. There is no way to stop it currently.

I can not adjust the spill way, when the pool runs the water flows over the spill way. Kinda stinks but currently there is no option to keep the spill way from flowing over when the pool runs

My pool is four years old and i have had the PH issues for awhile, we have a 8' spill way from the hot tub to the pool that runs with the pool runs. I believe this contributes to my issues. I am adding 32 oz of acid every other day to keep my PH below 7.8. Currently my TA is around 60 I...

I had issues with spots in my finish and they drained and did an acid wash. After the wash they used polishing bits attached to a weed eater and buffed the finish to make it smoother. Ended up smoother than the original finish without the spots as well. This could be on option.

So I jumped in this weekend and actually ran my hands along the spots one more time, they are actually as sooth/rough as the pool finish so i am beginning to think its not the calcium scale.

I have a TF-100, and yes I dropped my TA quite a bit in the last few months as part of a test and it has worked. I have a rather lager spill way from spa to pool and the aeration was causing pH to climb daily and I was having to add acid all the time. I dropped the TA down so see if it would...

Yes it is rougher in areas. Theses spots were not there until the last few months. I have brushed and brushed with no luck on them going away. I even spot tested with a wire brush and no change in the small area I tested.

I think I figured this out finally, pics to white spots below. http://s1026.photobucket.com/user/badag98/library/ Numbers from Yesterday: FC- 5.5 PH: 7.6 CYA: 60 TA: 90 CH: 225

Just a quick question/comment, could you pull the filters an vacuum to waste? It will take a few times I'm sure but every time time more and more dirt is being sent to curb?

Tried to post a pic but says I have exceed my quota, guess I posted to many pics already. :rolleyes:

My pool is almost a year old and the spots are within the last few months. I am coming off a slam so my numbers are still a bit skewed: Before the slam: FC-7.5 CC-0.5 CH-250 TA-130 PH-7.8 CYA-70 Last reading my FC was at 20 and that was last night.

Re: Could my beautiful pebble finish be RUINED after an acid wash??? Anyone have any thoughts on this? I have the white spots on the bottom of my pool in a few places and was thinking about getting the wire brush after them, any suggestions?

So reading this morning is 29 so I have passed the overnight test! :cool: Water is clear I can see the screw heads on the drains and passed this test so im calling it good. Plan is to put in new filters later today, do I need to keep the pump running till the FC lvls drop back to normal or...

Noon Reading today FC down to 31.5 and CC 0!! :D Almost there!

So last reading before bed last night FC was at 35 and CC was at 1, first reading this morning FC was at 33.5 and CC was at .5. Getting there I guess? Anyone with comments on the adding acid during the slam process my PH looks to be in excess of 7.8 with the skewed test but I know it is...

Reading this morning was down to 46! (lots of drops good thing I have a new refill waiting to be used) Question on the PH, I remember reading that you get false readings with High FC, I tested anyways and yes it shows 7.8. My concern is I know that my PH rises rapidly anyway due to large...

Ok so I did something wrong already:foot: When I plugged in the calculator I put the wrong % chlorine, so instead of 28 im closer to 48. I should have added close to 7 gallons I added eight so not sure how it jumped so high Not sure how the heck I have done this but any advice? I have tested...

So been following now for over a year and made the switch at the end of the season last year (End of Sep). With the pucks all last summer I had several algae breakouts and ended up with my CYA levels over 120. So six months later with just bleach and standard evaporation and kids splashing I...

Question, (I have similar spots) if the CH did get high over the winter and formed these white blotches, how do you get them off?

Sherman Williams has a good product for pool decking, they also have a additive that provides traction (SharkGrip) We had a few go arounds on my with the concrete vendor but they finally got it right. They painted and power washed it up a few times because it was bubbling (they forgot to...

Check with Outdoor Remedy! They do great work (i think it is Austin's Landscape Guy as well)

If you went with Austin, I am sure it will go great! We chose a different builder tring to save a little money and boy did we make a mistake!
