68° in the pool and 80° outside and I was already in because I couldn’t stand just staring at the pool because it was so beautiful to look at. I was actually in there for a good 20 minutes. Might try with the wetsuit tomorrow.

Same problem here. I'll send an email shortly

Lol no but I was married in one...seriously

I'm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and opened my AG pool today. Water temp is about 50 degrees but air temps are due to go in the 80s this week and I didn't want to take any chances. Thanks to Pool Math last Fall, my levels are perfect. PH and TC and FC are exactly where they should be...

Nice work!

We put a little bit of elbow grease to make it "stick" to the water and it seems to be holding. I have jugs on hand just in case

Just got finished closing the pool. All went well except I am concerned with the cover. I have a solid cover which has the ties that go through the grommets and you pull tight. We have it as tight as one can get it but there is still some wind getting through somehow and I feel like this won't...

I have a solid cover so that's good. I am going to hold off on the polyquat this time and see what happens.it was 86 today, and scheduled for the same tomorrow before dropping on Friday to normal temps. Sunday to close

I am not adding polyquat based on the mixed messages on here about needing it. Is that okay? I am not sure on the cover. It's still in the box because I wasn't sure about closing, so we are waiting until next weekend.

Anyone? :poke:

My AG pool is at 60 degrees and I was ready to close today but two things have me concerned. Obviously, being my first time closing ever, I want to be sure. Temps outside are due to be low to mid 80s this week and then back down next weekend to high 50s to low 60s during the day and high 40s...

Fantastic! Thank you

Hi all. It' almost that time to close my AG pool. It has been crystal clear all season with no issues ever thanks to here and the BBB method. That said, I've read tons of posts about RV antifreeze for lines and the pump, but can't seem to find anything on the sand filter. We are moving it...

I've checked many places and the above deal at Home Depot is the best so far

Rebecca, as a previous business owner, I understand the ordeals that happen when you're at the mercy of other suppliers. I totally understand. I am more than pleased as a customer that you're replacing them. thank you so much!

Excellent! I love this aeration thing. It's cheap and easy

Here I thought I was bad when I was doing my test. I wish we all, including you, knew this earlier. I wasted so many drops having to redo my tests. At least we can all change them out :) ill ll follow my instructions shortly to get new ones. thank you for standing by such a great product.

So my PH is good at 7.5 but TA is high around 220 (hope it's right as I have bad tips on my bottle) Pool Math is not showing to do anything. Should I add acid or leave as is?

I have my return into a small fountain/waterfall like thing which is why the PH might be slightly higher. I'll put it back to normal and see what it does. For now, I'm swimming :)

I noticed more of the TA acid adding instructions in the PH section which said to add 32 oz based on my calculations.....so that's what I did. since my cya seemed kind of low, in about an hour, I'm adding more stabilizer too and keeping an eye since that dreaded puck is already gone (good). I...

pH is 7.8 and did TA again. TA is reading 250 now. Pfew much better Looks like I should add acid but pool math does not show how much

Ahhh I was wondering ok. the water looks great actually. I'm going to redo the TA test again to be sure though

Just got my TF-100 kit and did the tests. Now what? FC - 5.0 CYA - 20 TA -330 CH - 300 No combined chloramines How do I test PH with this kit?

Just dumped half a gallon of bleach after testing. TA a little high at about 170 (rains did not stop) but the test strips changed colors over a course of a minute so it could be lower. It's better for me to wait until tomorrow for my TF-100 I think before adding. CYA level seems to be over 30...

Okay on the bleach. Headed to Wal-Mart first thing in the morning. I will buy the bleach and add 1/2 a gallon as soon as I get back and then I will test as soon as I'm home from work Monday with the new kit and report numbers. thank you so much for all of the help so far. This has been a long...

Just had a MASSIVE rainstorm that lasted almost two hours. Went out to test and check the shock sock. The water got so high that it's overflowing the skimmer. But, the shock has dissolved. Put a new sock that I rigged to get distributed through the return of stabilizer that is listed on bottle...

I read about the pump being a bad idea off. I was planning on taking it out once things have balanced. Since its best right now with the addition of things to keep the pump on, it hopefully will be okay to keep the puck in. i have powdered stabilizer as part of my exchange of chemicals. I will...

Been reading in between checking the pool. I am gaining a LOT of knowledge here. just checked the levels. I don't have my new kit yet, just aqua check strips until Monday when the TF-100 arrives TA is now at about 140-150 PH seems like it's around 7.0. I just made the return face upwards for...

Since everyone is in their beautiful pools, as they should be, I went ahead and put 2 1/2 gallons of MA with filter and pump ON very slowly into water return. Hope that was right so far
