I agree with pooldv. SLAM it and SLAM it good. Can't hurt. You never know. Also, based on your original pool photo of a green pool you said no algae was present. Generally, a green pool means the opposite. Just my two cents [emoji16] 22K Gallon, 30 foot round AG Dual speed 1.5 HP pump...

Home Depot has the same brand and the same 2-1 gallon pack for $10.98. 21,000 gal AG w/vinyl liner 30 foot round 1.5 HP duel speed pump Cartridge Filter Jandy Heater

But does continuously having to fill the pool dilute the CYA? 22K Gallon, 30 foot round AG Dual speed 1.5 HP pump Cartridge Filter Jandy LRZ heater

Have you guys had a significant amount of evaporation in your pool? I have so far this year because of all the sun we have been getting. This is been one of the warmest and sunniest summers in several years. My pool gets roughly 10 hours of direct sunlight every day. 22K Gallon, 30 foot round...

Greetings. At the start of the pool season my CYA was at a perfect 40. Lately (past month) I've noticed an increase in chlorine demand from my pool. On a hunch I did another CYA test and it literally fell to 10. We have had A LOT of sun this year and hardly any rain. I have had to add water to...

How much per bag? How many pounds was each bag? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome. Thanks! And when you do add salt I take it a store will probably sell "pool salt?" Do you just dump it in and let it dissolve? Will it affect my FC, PH, etc?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a calculator to show how much salt I would need to get to 2,000 ppm? Also, is there a way to test for this?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input. I've never looked into adding salt to my pool so I will need to do some reading to get more comfortable with the option. I don't get itchy skin, just very dry. Mostly on my legs. They almost turn a slight white. I'm pretty tan so it is very noticeable. I took my 3 year...

Thank you everyone for the replies. At the end of the day it may be a personal issue for me and how my skin tolerates chlorinated water. I am, however, a bit baffled about adding salt to my pool water. I have never read about this anywhere in TFP unless you had a SWG which I do not. I understand...

I do not have a salt system. 21,000 gal AG w/vinyl liner 30 foot round 1.5 HP duel speed pump Cartridge Filter Jandy Heater

Hello all. I'm loving the TFP method now that I understand it all and have locked in my water chemistry. The only issue I am having now (and this may be personal) is my skin gets pretty dry and flaky after say a 30-45 minute dip in the pool. Not sure what is going on. I never had the problem...

Got it but as I mentioned above, I have a non-SWG pool and am currently running it with a CYA of 40. Just want to make sure I'm in the right place. In the peek of summer my pool will receive 10 hours of sunlight at a minimum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just a quick question for the group. The awesome numbers we are seeing (which I love) show a CYA of 80. Is this the general goal for SWG? My pool is at 40 (not SWG). Just curious. Thanks!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What adding borates to the pool help the situation? I have never done that before. I added borates to my spa and now I sanitize it with bleach and I don't have anywhere near the problem of dry skin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone. I'm back! Great news! Pool water is crystal clear!! Yay! I ended up putting the solar cover on and didn't touch it for almost a week. It seems as though a lot of the fine dirt particles fell to the bottom and I was able to do a solid vac job today. Very exciting stuff. Maybe I just...

Well, I'm still losing FC pretty quickly but my spa water is absolutely crystal clear!! All the numbers are on point. Just wish it wasn't dropping FC so quickly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Right now my readings are: FC 8.0 PH 7.5 TA 70 CH 130 CYA 40 Since I hit 40 with my CYA I switched to Bleach and just hit it hard. Just so odd that it is gone so quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By the way, I added 8 ounces of bleach this morning because it was at 0. I just checked it at 11:00 and it was 0 again..... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So, I have my water perfectly balanced. I have started adding Dichlor to the spa. My CYA is now at 40. Last night I wanted to use the spa but the FC was much too high. I went to use it this morning and it was still very high. I went to use it tonight and there is no FC at all. Am I missing...

Never Mind. I got it now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've tested it 3 times. The fill water is from a well. The CH is 130 and the PH is at 8.4 The calculator does not tell me how much acid to add to REDUCE TA. It only works if you need to increase TA.

Question, my TA is 330 and I need to bring it down to 50. The calculator does not provide the amount needed to reduce TA with Muriatic Acid. It only calculates how to increase TA. Anyone have a trick or a calculation to reduce TA?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
