@JamesW Not sure on the salt level. Local store machine only goes to 5,000. It keeps topping that. Thanks @JoyfulNoise Following your suggestion precisely. Other than scooping out shells, trying to let water be still.

I feel your pain @flpoolmom I'm in St. Pete and dealing with aftermath. Chlorine, chlorine, chlorine. At least get that working on killing off the bad stuff. Follow @Bperry advice. Scoop what you can. Just in cooling off from a session of that. Will be back out there to do more. Even...

Hi @JoyfulNoise .. it is actually a SWG. But Company 1 is saying the caustic nature of the seawater is way worse than fresh water with salt added. I have to think it's all the other Crud in the seawater that's really the 'bad' stuff and why they suggest getting it out quickly by draining. But...

Yeah... lucky me! Have a 10K gallon saltwater pool in St. Petersburg. Waterline of pool is about 7' from the bayou. Pool completely flooded with bayou/gulf water. Lots of shells and sand in pool. One company is telling me I have no choice other than to fully drain pool, scrub pebble tech...

Ahh... now I have something to test! Reading about how aeration can impact alkalinity and PH. Appreciate the insights and pointing me in the right direction!

I have a 10K gallon saltwater pool. New build completed around Thanksgiving. I am always fighting a rising PH level. I test every 3 days and it's always creeping towards 8. I add about 16 oz of Muriatic Acid every time I test and it's good for a day or two... but by day 3... back up to 8...

Thought same thing... and it would seem incredulous to not be a leak. Half way is a filter intake. Before it got that low, I tested with dye and so did a leak detection guy... and we saw nothing. Coincidentally, it's also about the same level as the last set of steps off the 'beach'. That...

Thanks for the welcome! Nothing way out of the ordinary. Thought we had a leak last year... so quit adding water in Winter and the leaking quit when water was about halfway down the pool. Left it half-filled thru Winter. In Spring, couldn't find any leaks... so refilled it. As shared in...

In summer (Austin, TX), I typically run my hose to fill my in-ground pool about an hour a week. It's about 2" a week... which seems to be in line with 1/4" per day for evaporation. However, since it's turned colder, I'm having to run hose more than 2x to account for water loss? Is it possible...
