Well, after building my pool last year and buying the chemicals in the pool store, I really want to save some money and do it the BBB Method. I have read most of the site regarding but still hesitant for some reason. I have the following: 20x41 free form pool 24000 gallons, vinyl Mineral Springs...

Did two test per test kit: The tf-100 was having issues. Color Q First Test Second Test FCL 5.49 4.85 TCL 5.98 4.92 PH 7.8 7.7 TA 175 172 CH 295...

Well I am not the best using the TF-100, especially PH which I feel is impossible to get close but I will do this shortly.

I have a TF-100, I can double check the numbers shortly. The water temp may be colder now but I will give it a try.

Got me a new ColorQ and love it. FCL: 5.49 TCL: 5.98 PH: 7.8 ALC: 175 CH: 295 CYA: 41

Thanks Scott, the Loop Loc cover was priced from the company that actually did my pool, the performance from another pool company that is close to my office. The pool company that did my pool, we did not end up on the best of terms but I feel like the Loop Loc is the way to go I guess. If it is...

Trying to decide between two brands of covers for the winter. Loop Loc vs. Performance Safety Cover(Pro Tech Mesh) Got some pricing from two different pool companies and this is the range. These numbers include closing the pool. Performance Bio Shade Mesh : $3000, 15 yr warranty Performance...

I have done some reading and I do have a multi port, from what I see it should bypass the filter. I don't know but I'm going to do it here in a minute. The water is almost to the top of the skimmer

Quick question...............on the waste cycle to remove water from pool, do you have to replace DE after this cycle or do it bypass the filter? I need to remove water due to the hurricane so I just want to make sure I do it right.

Well it was put back the way it came out and the filter is only 6 months old. I don't know but hopefully it will be better in the am.

cleaned my de filter for the first time tonight. Cleaned the grids and put back exactly. Once I turned the pump back on and got the pump primed up I added de to the skimmer the something bad happened. The entire pool turned into a cloudy mess and it looks like the de is sitting in the bottom of...

I am going to attempt to take apart my filter tomorrow and clean the grids for the first time. I have read the instructions and even saw video on you tube but I still feel uneasy about this for some reason. I have a Pentair FNS Plus Filter. Does anyone have one of these units, if so what is the...

yes, the floor is the last thing but I think it is going to wait till next year. Was thinking about a painted epoxy floor, but I do like the ceramic!

Well it has been a while put after a lot of work the pool house is finally done. The pool looks good but now we are ready to start having some parties. Hope you like.

Just got back from the beach and these are the numbers: PH: 7.8 FC: 5 CC:.5 TC:5.5 TA:110 CH:170 CYA:60 Jumped in and the water actually and finally feels good, also crystal clear.

It is set at 60%, which I may need to tweak that. I went by the pool store earlier to check my numbers and this is why I get frustrated with my numbers, not saying that they are wrong but they are always so much different from mine. PH: 8.2 FC: .5 TC: .5 TA: 119, adjusted to 90 CA: 266 CYA: 98

The water has always looked good and still looks good. You can tell what kind of screws are in the main drains in 8 foot of water. I have been fighting the FC since I finished the pool a few months back. It seems that the results are better since I stated running the pool during the middloe of...

Did my test this morning and this is what I recorded: PH: 7.8 FC: 2.5 CC: 0.5 TC:3.0 TA: 150 CA: 170 CYA: 70 24000 gallons, SWG

That is actually the salt numbers. I am out of town the rest of the week so I will test in the morning and when I get back. TK
