I buy it by the case at lowes. My pool is an acid monster.

Makes sense. Just now gotta find the time to cobble that together. This pool is going to make me feel like a neurotic magician sooner or later. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tips I will give that a try. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Nope. Only thing remotely resembles such a thing are the two small returns on the top stair which churn the water pretty well. But it's not like they spray or splash. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

And btw, I have Taylor test kits for every other parameter....salt, calcium hardness, fas-dpd. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone. Gonna go buy a pallet of acid from home Depot and conquer this TA....still reading 90 and pH has already crept back up to 8.2 as of this evening. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Cabana will be complete in a couple weeks then the beer hauling begins for me Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

$3000 a year for acid and I will probably just let it ride. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Good to hear. Maybe I won't need borates after all. Just don't want to put $8 worth of acid in it everyday. That will start to add up. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Added two gallons of acid this morning and pH is now at 7.6 and TA at 80.... Gonna add another gallon and see how that goes. The kit I have is less than 12 mos old. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Testing with a pool master drop kit Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone. I will give the borates a try. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

We have county water. Really really nice water. Trying keep pH under 8 but not having much luck. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Hey everyone....second season with the pool now and have had nothing but crystal clear water from day one since becoming a TFP follower.... Yet, I can't seem to get a handle on the pH. It wants to stay high all the time no matter how much acid I feed it. TA is right at 100 at the moment, but...

Second season of new 41k gallon saltwater pool here...Never once have I shocked it and the water has always sparkled. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ha-ha...no doubt. Already have a crew that takes care of the rest of the acreage. Just figured i would make this nice zoysia and pool my hobby once the fence goes up and let the crew take care of everything outside of it. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks....I am leaning rider of some sort at the moment. Although I could use the exercise of push mowing. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Fence is going in next week. Then final inspection. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Lol....guess I am gonna get a 32hp commercial ztr then! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I have read that blade tip speed will determine how good a mower is at mulching. Towards that end I wonder if any walk behind mower can compete with a high power ztr? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

This sounds like the trick if I push mow. I haven't been real impressed with mulching with any of the consumer grade walk behinds I have owned. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Also any ideas on bagging vs mulching zoysia? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

That is what I am trying to decide...walk behind vs rider....reel vs rotary. 15k sq ft of zoysia isn't that much but I don't want to spend a ton of time mowing either Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Just planted 15k sq ft of zoysia around d my pool a month ago and it is needing cutting....any tips on best equipment/practices to get the job done as quick/cleanly and keep grass out of pool? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks. Hopefully our kids will get on board to help keep it looking nice. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ha-ha...that is pretty funny stuff. Mandatory in California I bet! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ha-ha...I am still trying to work up the nerve to dive off the spring board with an actual bounce. Right now I can only walk an dive off the end without chickening out! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks. It does look really good from the back porch with all that new emerald zoysia surrounding it. At times though I think to myself as I am sitting in it...."this is too big". Of course, then my children crash in around me with their friends and I think..."nah, just right" Btw, I will be...

Here are my pool pics too... Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Thanks again to everyone for your help and helping to keep me from getting "pool stored". Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
