Hello, this is kind of a basic question about pucks. I’ve been using them only when I’m out of town, and when I don’t have too much stabilizer anyways. Otherwise it’s liquid chlorine. After using my bucket for over two years, Im finally running low. But my local pool store pinch a penny has...

Hi, I accidentally dropped a full bottle of muriatic acid into the pool. No idea how much went in, about a quarter of it is missing, but maybe water got back into the bottle. My question is what color would the PH test be for really low numbers. My test only goes down to 6.8 and the color of the...

Hello, after smooth sailings for at least a year by by using the TFP method, which for me means liquid chlorine from the pool store and occasional muriatic acid, I finally have another question. The thing is that my daughter (2.5 years old) and I have been playing in the pool almost daily for...

Hi there, I don't know if I have a ghost in my water or what, but after more than a year of easy-peasy testing, I'm having trouble this year with the basic tests. I discovered that I am unable to do a proper CL test anymore. See here if you care...

Hey guys, here's a question I haven't seen anything on. I recently noticed pretty big Cl consumption to the tune of 4 parts/24 hrs. In the hottest parts of last summer, I used 2, so this made me do the OCLT ... I lost 1ppm. This was Saturday to Sunday, from about 8 to 7 ppm. So, while my water...

How is it possible that my calcium hardness is 450 but my fill water is around 160, plus it has rained so much that I didn't even have to fill from the hose in about 2 months? I don't really understand that. Furthermore, I don't know if I should drain some water to get this down?

My first couple of weeks with the TF-100 are going well. The clearer the water, the more the stains are bothering me. I seem to have very high CH, close to 500. My fill water is about 160 and it rained a lot recently, so I don't get it. Pool store testing for the last year or so was never over...

Not sure if this is the right category to post in, please move if not. I'm switching away from trichlor pucks to liquid chlorine (at least most of the time is my plan, when I'm not out of town). I understand that the smell of chlorine, the burning eyes, etc. are supposed to be lessened by...

Hi there! I'm not brandnew here, I've been reading for months. I just ordered my TF-100XL. It took me a while to pull the trigger because I was hesitant to switch over to the liquid-only method. Hesitant because ever since I took over this house and pool about a year ago, I have been doing...

Split off of another topic. JasonLion Really old thread, but I was having the same goal - reducing vibration noise. I found this $10 doormat at HD today. Do you guys think that would work under the pump? It's just under 1/2 inch thick. Recycled rubber with cross square holes throughout...
