I'm late to this conversation, but I had the same question. I ordered 24 bottles online (free shipping), I ordered the regular concentrated stuff that I always get, and the "Fabric Protection" stuff was shipped to me instead. I returned all 24 bottles because the label had no information about...

We get that same stuff in ours around this time, and we are in NC. It's some kind of pollen or something from the trees.

We have been without our pool since the beginning of August, unfortunately, we do everything ourselves but asked a pool company to come out and do a sand filter change, as we don't know the last time it was done (purchased the house in fall 2015, no sand change since then), and it's a pain in...

LOL I know, right!??! :p

Thanks guys!! I'm seriously doing the happy dance over here :cool: can't wait to jump in, weather is about warm enough!

I literally came in here to show off my pool... lol. I am just really excited because we have only owned this house for 5 months, and it has been a long journey to figure out pool care. I have never had a pool before. When we first moved in, I couldn't figure out how to turn on the pump (true...

Yesterday, TA was at 180, with a PH of 7.7. (I have a TF100 test kit). I added half a gallon of MA, and just re-tested - the PH is now sitting at 7.2 but the TA hasn't budged at all - is this normal? Does it just take time for it to come down?

I was looking at those online last night, so that would be an option, super... thanks!

Ok so first off, I'm going to show a pic of my pool, because it went from dull to clear and sparkly after I took out the Ecosmarte junk and added CYA and chlorine to the pool, following the instructions I was provided with here. I'm geeking out over it :cool: Second - I started out putting...

I replied before reading all the replies... I hope this isn't calcium scaling. My CH has been high lately (525). Ugh. I thought calcium scaling were white, chalky pieces? PS - OP, the kit is worth it. I even tested our well water with it to determine how hard our water is.

I'm SO glad someone else posted this - I have the SAME STUFF in my pool, on the surface. It's gotten a little better over the weekend, with running the pump on high all day, but they look like clear snowflakes on top of the surface that I can't really pick up. Maybe something coming from the...

I thought as much... :( thanks for the compliment! :)

Ok, I'm back - I followed the advice and added the appropriate amounts (using Pool Math) of chlorine (used Clorox) and stabilizer (bought the liquid stuff, expensive but fast acting). Water is clear, but I think I've got mustard algae (ugh), I came home today to white flaky looking things on...

I'm on it! Thanks!

A little hazy... there's a film on top even though we vacuumed yesterday and ran the pump for a while. Dunno if it's the start of algae or pollen.

Great idea, why didn't I think of that... according to the test, our well water has a CH of 75 ppm.

Currently, our pool equipment is hooked up to the dreaded Ecosmarte copper system, installed by the home's previous owner. I haven't turned on the system at all, we purchased the house in October. We would like to switch over, preferably to a SWG. I have the Taylor TF-100 and the Taylor 1730...

Yup, PH is sitting right now at 7.3...

Hello all! I've been lurking over here for months, finally stepping out of the shadows to say hi. I live in the suburbs of Charlotte, NC. We purchased a house with a pool back in November (have never had one before), so I started out not being able to figure out how to turn the pump on (true...
