Need to find an equipment repair person to fix muriatic pump, ozone, & intelli chem I called about 5-10 pool companies including 2 Leslie pools, looking for somebody to fix my muriatic acid pump, now I think my Ultra Pure Ozone needs maintenance, and my intelli chem messages are starting to...

It all depend how you close/winterize your pool. In the North we had a mesh cover where the rain and snow melted and diluted the CYA and in the spring mine would be 0. My neighbor had a automatic cover and never lost any CYA. It varies from one pool to the next.

Each situation is different, but battling the leaves waiting for the pool to get colder was a nightmare, and closing the pool too early was not an option either. I actually put our winter cover on the pool and let the pool run until it was time to close. yeah a little more work, but keeping...

One trick is to use a sample of your pool water to figure out how much you need to add. Using a bucket of pool water add your chlorine to figure out how much chlorine it will take to hold a chlorine level. From what I understand is if you keep adding chemicals, and not reaching the level that...

Congrats on the new pool. I wouldn't be too worried about the green, the water will clean up nicely in a few days/week after you get your equipment running and do the slam/shocking as stated above and balance your chemicals. With vynal liners you do not want to completely drain the pool or...

I hope these pictures show up. The house we just moved into has a dark bottom pool.

I updated my signature. I am in Texas, I use taylor test, the pool place actually used the taylor test kit with a spinner, and repeated the test 2 times so I figure it was likely accurate. I went to the pool store to buy new Taylor reagents, because the ones I had were old. Thought, why not...

Just moved into house with pool and pool company. No longer have pool company and converting pool to BBB. Almost there, still some issues. FC 6 pH 7.8 TA 90 CYA 50 CH 550 I tested CH and I could not getting water to turn red to even start. My drops are old because my last...

I really don't like handling muratic acid, but the house we just bought has a Pentair acid pump/intelli chem. I assume, I just open the lid and pour in the bottle of muratic acid? Do I turn the Inteli Chemi pump off first? How? I googled instructions Pentairs website "To refill acid...

1. I have a Taylor drop tester and a PoolLife drop tester, however I ran out of the Ph drops. 2.The pool guy shocked the pool last week and put chlorine pucks in the inline chlorinator. It is a chlorine pool.

We have lived in our house for about 2 weeks. I am use to a vinyl inground pool, borax and chlorine were my amour. Our new pool is so much different. The "pool guy" had put salt in a non-salt water pool, that was my first thread as the pool turned green no chlorine and no CYA. The owner...

Re: Salt in a chlorine pool We just moved into the house, and the pool guy was the previous owners hired guy. He no longer works with the company, and we no longer use that pool service.

I have been using BBB for a long time with my simple inground vinyl liner 28,000 pool with sand filter and it has been clear, clean for the most part. We just moved to a fancy, beautiful, gunite pool with spa, waterfalls, creepy crawly cleaner, DE filter, pentair intellichem, remote control the...

I had a hard time getting my ph to rise, I needed about 5-7 boxes of borax and areated. Do I need to test my borate level?

We use the same closing kit as friends with same type of pool and cover, and they don't have the ammonia problems, that's what makes this so frustrating. The good news is :P I have learned in the past how to clear it up :party: I am just getting tired of using so much liquid chlorine. I...

Is it usual to open with a fc reading and cya reading?

Yes, I did shock it and it stayed overnight, then added winterizer kit. I do have the mesh cover, its green and a little light goes through it. What is your cya when you close?

CYA :whip: So basically, I add stabalizer in the spring and keep cya at a 30 level all summer. I use bleach, so usually cya is not a problem. In the fall the cya dropped due to splashing, rain, and pool leak. But what I need to do is drain and add water to get out all the cya to 0?????? ...

2 years ago I used pucks and found out the hard way about shock lock. Then, discovered the ammonia in pool the following spring. It was hard to clean, but I did it and changed my ways and now use BBB. Last season I used the BBB and had a great season. So I thought I had wised up last fall...
