Thanks to all. To help keep track on everything TFP, I’m logging all pool treatments on a dedicated, large wall calendar. In addition to pool chemicals added, it includes water chemistry levels, pool appearance, water temp, partial water changes, CUlator installation date, filter changes, big...

I used one quart each of Biodex and Suncoast’s Ultra Metal Sequesterants during and after the 1 week AA treatment. I likely over responded with the post AA treatment shock dosage. The reason is I wasn’t using poly60 concurrently during past AA treatments and had quick algae blooms on low...

pooldv, I reviewed both TFP pages and the Pool Calculator is very helpful. Polyfill material was a nice pre-cartridge recommendation for iron and occasional use as a general pre-filter. Jack’s ID Kit may be very helpful in the future. I also read in Taylor’s instructions that high calcium...

Thank you Pooldv, I’ll proceed carefully as the summer daylight extends and chemical demands increase with warmer water. Over the previous few years, I had tried different algaecides with disappointing results. Poly60 has made a significant impact on algae over the last month combined with the...

Duraleigh, Thank you and this morning, the pH had self-corrected to 7.0 with one pint added yesterday. Yesterday, Taylor’s pH acid demand test recommended adding 1.72 quarts of MA based on 10 drops in 10K gallons. I added a larger dose of MA a couple years ago to correct a high pH and it seemed...

Hello, I settled in NE Florida after a 22 year Navy career. I built my home in 2003 with a 10K IG Marcite pool. The only unusual aspect is the home wraps around the pool in a central atrium. It has a full screen on top and a 10 foot screened breezeway facing north for ventilation. I missed the...
