I just saw a post yesterday where a member pulled out his pool light and it looked like death behind it. I know you scrubbed your steps and walls well. I'd look behind that light if you can.

Another question for the experienced. My ph levels have been stable so far until I checked last night. It's at least 7.8 or higher. It's fairly dark. We had horrible wind and the pool is full of dirt. Will high winds and debris raise ph? What are other causes? I've read that high chlorine levels...

Email sent. R-0871 and R-0012 are wrong in my kit. Thanks for identifying and handling the mistake. Good work!

Ha, it's funny you say that. My neighbor down the street had a kids birthday party and his pool was all cloudy. My six year old says "it's not as clean as ours". I tried to tell him what I had learned here and it went in one ear and out the other. I really look forward to getting home from work...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for the great advice to keep my little pool sparkling nicer than any of my neighbors!

Thanks, will do!

Ok. Got my Intex sand filter hooked up yesterday and wow! What a difference it made. I turned the outlet nozzle towards the bottom of the pool at a slight angle and it swirls this little pool like a toilet. I swear you could watch the water clear up within minutes. I had the fc up to a 10 the...

Oh ok. Should I not use the cover during the swimming season? Are they only for storage/winter?

Thank you. I believe I will be getting the sand filter for sure. Maybe the swg when we upsize the pool!

I think I understand what your telling me. I will add 13oz of bleach right now. Should I leave the cover on or off when I shock it? I try to keep the cover on as much as possible to try and keep it clean.

Ok. Just received my tf100 kit today and tried some tests. Here are my results. Ph 7.6 Fc 1.5 cc 2.0 cya <10 ta 160 ch 375 water temp is about 70*F Pretty sure I need to add stabilizer to get it up around 40 but not sure what to do about the cc? Should want to see 0 correct? what do the...

Thanks! Makes sense. I've got something similar in the bilge of my boat. Never would of thought of that for the pool.

Thanks Woody, is that Intex Krystal clear sand filter and swcg a decent setup or should I be looking at something else when I upgrade?

Hi all, wanted to get the kiddos a pool for the summer and found this site while shopping. Really happy I found this forum because being a mechanic I like to do everything myself and try to research as much as I can. I bought a cheap test kit from Walmart to get me started but my tf100 will be...
