That looks like my water!! I saw at a store a chemical that eliminates iron would that hurt to put that into the pool, its just well water so far I haven't did any testing yet.

Have a question for any water expert. My wife and I build a new house last year about an hour south of where we used to live, the place we sold had great water. My biggest fear moving was how the water was going to be when the new well was drilled, well it turned out to be not so good. Filling...

I had that same issue with my pool and yes it was right after vacuuming and there would be a small amount of water on the concrete but would dry up soon after. I don't think you have to be worried unless it doesn't stop.

The new Intex has a small screw in adapter on the return valve that also comes with a rubber cap that will cover the small air holes, with the cap on it's just normal return flow and with the cap off it shoots alot of air bubbles in with the flow. My question concerns the water chemistry, what...

Re: New re-designed Intex 14X42" Ultra frame pool, question on double suction outlets I just put one of the dual intakes up and did plug one of them, if you stand facing the pool the 2 black intakes are to the right and the return is to the left, looking at your pics to me it looks like you...

We just replaced a 7 year old Intex this year and the color of the outside of the liner is noticeably darker now, a darker grey the before.

Is the adapter the plug screws into an Intex part or aftermarket or do they make a cap that screws onto the 1.5 intake.

I like your setup alot, what did you use to plug the hole? My skimmer that I took off the old pool has adapters so I can use the Intex hoses so I have to figure a way to get everything connected.

This year we are replacing a 7 year old 18 foot round Intex that the legs rusted out. The new pool I have is the Intex with the dual intakes, those intakes are a smaller size connector and for now I want to use the in pool skimmer. I think I can cut into the liner the larger style intakes but...

After 7 years with our Intex it finally started to give out, the problem was the legs and beams started to rust and luckily we were able to finish out the year with it. We will be ordering another one soon but have a question, I saw an add for a replacement joint assembly that connects the leg...

I have a bag that I bought last year that is unused and it's 6 lbs. Will have to use the pool math to figure out how much to use.

I did a test tonight and was happy with most of the results. FC-13 CC-.5 Ph-7.1 TA-40 CH-60 CYA-80 The high FC level was not my doing, I had the wife pick up some bleach at the store and she decided to dump the whole gallon into the pool! My Ph level has always been at that level never higher...

will try and install it as high as I can so we can keep the level up, thanks.

Thanks Jason I was hoping that it would work at the higher level because that is were the wife likes the water level to be and I also installed the 2650 Intex pump a couple of weeks ago so there is alot of flow now and it is working great. - - - Updated - - - Will go out and fight the...

I am going to install a through wall skimmer, how high on the skimmer when it is installed can the water level be? We like the water level up to about the gray line on the Intex but looking at pics here that may be to high, can you go half way up the skimmer.

I have all the plumbing hardware and have been looking at all the instructions on how to install just have to get in the water and do it. I will need to drain some of the water because it is up to the gray line right now and my ? is how high can the water level be with the new skimmer? We like...

I will check in the instructions to see if I can turn off the cell and then just add bleach until I get the salt. I was just concerned running it with low salt alarm that it could hurt the cell but it doesn't look like it would. - - - Updated - - - The bleach I added yesterday seemed to have...

We live an hour away from any big box store but the local gas station-convenince store sells the pelletized salt for sidewalks in the blue or yellow bags, is that something I could use?

Just starting to get the pool opened and cleaned, it has a very nice lime green tint right now. Last fall I drained half the water to just below the return and it frozen solid over winter which by the way was one for the ages. Anyway I have filled it up most of the way with no leaks and hooked...

I've only had to add a couple of inches this year so it is basically the same water we started with. My pool seemed to be stuck on 7.2 and 100 so maybe that's what it likes.

As for my chlorine I have only used the swg and bleach to adjust the levels,have never used any pucks in the pool. The pool has been at 7.2 since start up this spring and I just left it there and it never seemed to go any lower so maybe that is it's happy spot. Would it be better to lower it...

I never had a problem only it stayed at about 7.2 until I added the pH Plus to get it to 7.6. I thought 7.2 was too low for a swg so i raised it.

My pH has been running right at 7.2 and the TA has been 100, I made the mistake of adjusting my pH and I did get it up to 7.6 but didn't realize it would also raise the TA which is now 130. Even when the pH was at 7.2 should the TA have been lower then 100? How low should I lower the pH to get...

Thanks for all the help and ideas I will see what I can do, also is it safe to swim because it's crystal clear and warming up slowly.

I can turn the swg off for a while and when the FC drops I will adjust the pH. I have a jug of the pH Plus from Walmart, is that good to use?

I did a test tonight and I'm a little concerned with the FC. FC: 15 CC: .5 TC: 15.5 pH: 7.2 T/A: 120 CH: 100 CYA: 60 I need to raise the cya alittle and the ph but what about the FC?

Has anyone had any experience with the vinyl pool domes? With the leaves and fuzz from the poplar trees getting all over the solar cover I need to clean every day. The domes cost around $1000 but ebay might be cheaper but would I be wasting money? It's June 15 and we haven't had but a few days...

I will just monitor the ph and TA but will get the cya up.

I did a test and found my ph at 7.2 and the TA is 100 with the cya at 30. Should I get the cya up first to 80 and then work on the ph or the other way around. It is going to be awhile before we can swim because the weather here in NW Wi. can't even get to 70 and I don't have the heater hooked up...

I was thinking of that but I may drain down atleast to the intake and then give it a try.
