I'm sorry to hear the problems you are having with your pool. I have a Radiant pool also, and for me its been one headache after the next related to the liner. Consider yourself lucky that you haven't experienced complete water loss multiple times like me. To me, it seems like the liner just...

Again I want to thank all of you for the tips. I used the pool calculator and raised my CYA from 0 to 30. Spent the summer pretty much just adding 30-60 oz of bleach every night to the pool. Had to constantly add acid because my pH number was always rising. Pool did get cloudy. However, I...

Good to hear you are on the right track now. I know CYA was my first big problem as a pool owner. I found with a 0 CYA, FC wouldn't stay in my pool for more than 2 hours. Let us know how it turns out for you.

I did some reading in the manual. Turns out there is a 4 minute delay for the compressor. So when I hit 1230 rpm, the fan comes on. They I wait 4 minutes and the compressor comes on. So I assume now that that is 30 GPM at 1230 rpm. I also read in the manual that 50 GPM is what I apparently...

Hi All I have a question about my T135 you might be able to answer. I've been messing around with my VS pump RPMs to guess my GPMs. The heat pump is rated 30 GPM to 70 GPM. When I get to 1230 RPM, the heater goes from No-Flow to On (I hear the fan kick on). However, when I kicked it up to...

Thanks for all the replies. It does seem like I both waited too long, and I must not have an CYA to keep the Chlorine around.

City water. It was probably about 8 hours later. Overcast day with rain and hail. How soon after adding a chemical should I retest the water? I am really bad with color comparison, so the test strips are awful for me. I'm guessing pH is going to be tough for me.

Right now I only have FROG test strips. I have a K-2006 test kit on order. The test showed my FC is 0. Makes sense because I just filled up a brand new pool. (15666 gallons) Using the pool calculator, I added 70 oz of 8.25% bleach. Later I tested again and the test still showed 0 FC. I am...

Thank you for the reply. The pool store came and patched the hole. Everyone has already been paid. The installers were paid after the install but before it was completely filled. I didn't think of waiting until the pool was actually usable, and then paying them. My bad. Luckily it wasn't a...

Hello all, I'm new here, but I have been visiting tfp for a while. I finally joined because I need advice. I just just had an above ground pool installed and it seems like there has been nothing but issues. First, I was given the wrong instructions on how to fill the pool, so I left the water...
