Ok, looking for some help here. I have attached a picture of my Polaris. This is indicative of my pool at this point. I had a leaf net on and added bleach for the past few months (since mid-October). I noticed my surface looking pretty dingy. I pulled the net off today and to my horror...

I just refilled after resurfacing and purposely kept my CYA low, knowing this trip was coming. I have a Pentair in-line feeder where I can drop pucks in. However, since I use bleach exclusively, I don't know how long pucks will last in the feeder and if my FC is going to drop to 0 while I'm...

I just filled up after an AquaBright installation and am trying to get my pH set. Supposedly, once I get it set, I shouldn't have to mess with it much, as that is one of the benefits of AquaBright. Here is what I've done so far: - I tested my tap water used to fill up the pool. It was at 7.4...

As I am about to refill my pool and I'm using PoolMath to figure out how to get as close to 0 as possible on CSI, I started playing around with the water temperature values to simulate my conditions here and I have noticed some pretty decent fluctuations from one extreme to the other...

I've signed the papers and will hopefully be getting AquaBright (AB) in the next week or so. I didn't see in the contract where they were going to balance after refill, so I'm going to plan that I'm going to do it...which I'm ok with. As far as the calculations go, I've read to treat AB like a...

I have a Pentair 520 cartridge filter. My starting pressure is around 10. I cleaned the filters last weekend as the pressure was getting up around 17-18 and the filters were pretty nasty. I cleaned them and reinstalled and the pressure was back down around 10. Over the last few days, I've...

I moved in last year and thanks to TFP, actually have a good handle on my pool chemistry and most importantly, my chlorine levels and the use of bleach to attain those. When we moved in, the inspection report showed scaling and recommended a polish. Having never owned a pool, I had no idea...

I have a 44000 gallon non-SWG pool. I've been testing each day to ensure I have enough Cl in there. My TA is at 70 and my Cl is around 8 on average (CYA of 60). I'm finding that no matter how much muriatic acid that I add, I cannot get my pH below 7.8 for any length of time. I know 7.8 is...

First off, thank you so much to TFP for your Pool School and your PoolMath calculator and advice. I would have never known how much chlorine to add based on my CYA. I was having a whole host of problems and kicking my FC up to the levels suggested based on my CYA has got my pool looking...
