Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Leebo, yes...thanks for catching that...I too caught that this a.m. when reading pool school CYA facts and FC facts...the 8lbs of dichlor I put in was forgotten about...and the notes in school talk about the effect on FC and CYA...

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Doing more research but it sounds relatively straight forward...I'll have to find a bearing puller tool from someone...I'm sure I can buy, borrow, or rent one. See attachment.

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Alright fellas...yes, I'm mechanically inclined plus the pump come apart from the housing so no plumbing is interrupted...motor can be fixe or replaced...I'm thinking it is the bearing on the impeller...it doesn't rotate as free and...

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE What was I thinking...it maxes out at 3.0 which it is...LOL. Does the kit I ordered measure to 18-25ppm of free chlorine?

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Leebo, I wish I could tell you...safe is relative...without a kit...I'm risking it...enjoy the gummy snacks...fajitas were good...the 55select with 1.6 carbs and 55 cals were good...I got a fitness test coming mid October...watching...

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Frogabog...will add 546 at 10 and another at midnight...IF I'm up...I'll do the 0200 dose of same.

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE I have added no stabilizer since coming to TFP...:) and I just brushed the dern thing again...you can smell the bleach...you still think another 546oz is good for midnight until the a.m.?

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Okay...given that it is 7:30pm now...I just got back from picking up fajitas, tequila, and Bud Select Light...55cals...I added the Wallyworld Great Value 182oz bleach to pool...546oz...and pool is clearing up even more...and at...

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE I'm sure the test is skewed because the bleach was not in the water for more than 1 hour before I went to the store...it was probably still in the general vacinity of my sample. Ah, yes, the CYA, etc...that must have been back in...

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Okay fellas, Leebo…dumped 3.5 gals into the pool…had that on hand…frogabog, I bought the good stuff at HD and got my military discount (was late and I was desperate that night to get some bleach and acid). The acid (31.45%) was...

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Okay...did not get to the pool supply store for water test 9-15 so I kept sample and had that one and this morning's 9-16 tested. We have some slight changes but nothing great...however...I'm getting smarter. I actually knew what I...

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Yep. I think I'm gonna go for the approach at bringing down the pH first...off to the store...but the salt level has merit...not using SWG until pH is adjusted.

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Leebo, thank you. This is great. I had a strong feeling the pH level needed to come down. A "friend" of a "friend" came over for a little moral support and with his experience provided some guidance...which, after looking at your...

Done...donated and bought too...Thanks!

Re: MY INGROUND SALTWATER POOL IS LOOKING LIKE A LAKE -- GRE Leebo and Dalandlord – thank you and copy all...went to Pool School school today (as best I could with work)...played with the calculator...worked liquid bleach angle (i.e. ounces, strengths, amounts, etc). I figured out what Leebo...
