I plan on adding approximately 7 pounds to our 3800 gallon pool . Current ch is 125... shooting for 225 or so. Thanks!

Hi I'm just trying to rule out csi as source of this problem. I don't think it can be as grout is looking unstable only on a few areas I think more likely is error in mixing/application of the grout. Pool csi number is -0.44 (Target is -0.02). Ta 80 Ch 125 pH 7.5 Cya 50 Fc 6 Any input greatly...

Was wondering as i still haven't figured out roughly how fast will our heater warm our pool if outside temp is 80? Heat siphon specs: Model SX3.25HP 208/230 60 . 80,000 btu Pool approximately 3800 gallons Thanks all!

OK as you can see in my sig we battle scale build up constantly here with our city water on everything from faucets to showerheads etc. However when I do a calcium hardness test with tf-100 I test a low 125 such that I need to add something [calcium chloride] to bring it up. I'm confused can...

I am not able to source a 3way valve here in vallarta. I am trying to add a bypass to the heat pump as it's only used for a couple months. Would it be ok to put 4 shutoff valves before and after connections in and out of heater or would that ristrict water flow when heater is shut out? I could...

Our aging. 1 HP pump is eventually needing to be replaced. It is a aqua pak silver 10/1115 single speed. Our pool is relatively small, under 4000 gallons. Is of worth getting a dual speed or this 1 HP single is correct? Also specific model recommendations would be great. Thanks!

OK so water is pretty much crystal after successful slam Last Friday. Fc slowly dropping back. High sun. Lots of rain. Cya today 40. I have not added any chlorine since successful oclt on Mon. This am fc 11. Just now 7pm fc 7.5. I just want to confirm next step getting back to normal...

I'm battling managing this pool remotely at times and alot of users swear by this product using copper to battle Alcestis and in the end less pump on time and chemicals. Anyone have experience with it and care to comment? Thanks!

Do they need to be replaced or is there some can I can spray on to tough to turn old shut off valves ..like wd40[or is that corrosive?] Also .I am adding a bypass to heater and updating some of the plumbing and noticed the overflow outlet on top of scimmer goes to waste outlet from sand filter...

Well day 2 after determining my cloudy water was algae [go figure ..rainy season in a hot tropical climate] due to oclt. Went from fc 20 to 11.5 overnight. So yesterday I started slam and got a little overboard with the powder chlorine [that's all I have to work with here at moment [inherited...

Ok just tested water pre sun. Last night FC 17. CC. 5This morning. FC 10.5 CC. 5 I added the chlorine at about 1pm yesterday and tested at 8pm. Took morning reading at 830am. So algae is my problem Re oclt? Next step? Yikes! I'm an official 100% newbie pool owner

Anyone have experience with this technology? I was wondering if it makes any sense for a pool we are not around to attend to often. Other Optometris is a biweekly pool service.

After draining half the pool due to high cya here are the new results. Any input most welcomed. Water is pretty good but not crystal. I still have yet to deep clean the sand filter. By my calculations I ca turn pool water over in an hour and I am running sand filter for 3 hours and some days 7...

I tested 10.5 [21 drops] FC but when I go to do the CC test I'm a little confused. When the colour goes clear from pink then that is the total number of drops to Record? Because if I let it sit for a minute or so it eventually turns back to pink from clear. I'm at 15 drops now and still...

My numbers are currentlyTc 5 Fc 4.5 CC .5 Ta 40 Ph 6.8-7.2 Cya 62 Ch 500 Scale build up on this 10 yearold pool is also what I'm dealing with. Not too bad now its just above water line and I got it all off with 220 wet sandpaper. A member posted this advice Re scale "To avoid it in the future...

I'm nervous but here goes Tc 5 Fc 4.5 CC .5 Ta 40 Ph 6.8-7.2 Cya 62 Ch 925 Its tough pool to manage as its a rental sometimes and I get a friend in to do the basics and manage when we aren't there. For the most part around here everyone uses strong powder chlorine like this pool, as no one...

OK so I did a crude drawing by memory in Google keep. I am not at pool location now but will be in mid July. The heatpump needs to move a couple of feet or so to get more top airflow with a newly constructed deck. It has never had a bypass in its entire 10 year life when installed with new...

I'm about to move and replumb some of our equipment and was convinced I should put a bypass on the heatpump as it is only used here 2 months a year at most. But on speaking with Sue at heat siphon (the companies very friendly and knowledgeable tech person) said a bypass is not necessary as they...

I inherited a 20 kilo (44 pound) industrial chlorine powder container brand new that came from previous owners professional pool service company. Is it safe to assume its cal-hypo? Its extremely strong and powerful (fumes etc). Is it also safe to assume it is probably in the 65% range when...

Our new adopted pool in vallarta was built approximately 10 years ago so I assume the mineral build up on the tiles above the water line are somewhere in the 8 year and going time frame. I've tried some recommended solutions such as 300 grit sand paper, muriatic acid but have not been able to...

Hello again! I have a friend coming across us border to canada in a couple of weeks so I am free to order anything I need pretty much now. I have settled on the tf-100 7way test kit instead of the k2006 or ordering separate cya and fast/dpd test kits (to fill out my 5way poolmaster kit). Is...
