Iron test with Vit C - no change. Did remove some old staining not this step and floor. Guess next is salt, chlorine ....

Yeah sequestrant and more recently going to use DE. I don't have or have used magnesium salt. Oddly I was looking at adding in mineral ....not convinced yet on making rhe move.

Will do , will be annoyed if it is after this recent stain clean-up.

Picture today hopefully see more of the step and patch in the pool. You can see yellowish corners and bottom of walls . Another iron check ??

No previous stain mentioned. The pool has overtime about 6 months accumulated stains. Mainly on the pool step, bottom of walls and around jets. I just finished a stain cleaning process, which has removed quite a bit actually. Just these odd areas as shown, in terms of stains, had two companies...

My pool has undergone a number of weeks of recent stain removal. Chemistry is almost balanced and crystal clear water. Stains had progressively got worse over months. Not sure if this was Covid impact, rubbish salt, watered down chemicals, Green coloured acid to name a few. In...

Hi have been slack with the reporting, I was doing a full stain removal. Not updating so dont take that too literal. My pool is pretty much balanced of late and updating when I remember.

Hi All, I currently use a robot Trident Eco for my above ground. Works pretty good overall. Noticed lots of dust in the pool, something the robot can't do much with. Vacum to waste dumps a absolute Load of water from the pool, not ideal. So reluctant to do that, filtering isn't cutting it...

Thanks all, was really looking at options amongst usual approach for iron removal, general filtering. Thats in addition not a replacement to.AA and sequestriant. So edging bets where i can, having almost a 4th round of removing. I highly suspect the salt...Aqua Health. I have practically...

Hi all, i read the article on adding DE to a salt water pool (cup or two) into skimmer to give the filter a boost. Odd question, but what size DE powder. Suppliers i have looked at seem to offer 3 or 4 types. Extra fine to coarse etc.

Hooked up hose to return, mini fountain. CSI 0.08 now reduced PH once already, crrently back at 7.4 will check again next few hours. TA is holding at 125.

Mainly return eyeballs upwards, kids playing ....was brainstorming options without chemicals... ideally cheap and easy

Not sure on fill water yet....ill do that as next test. I do want to reduce TA but aeration is proving very slow and PH is not really moving from 7.4 yet...

Watch the CSI...

Thanks @Texas Splash - did an initial clean again with just a paddlepop stick first round see how it goes, then watch the

Hi did the test....fizzing away so check its calcium. The SWG does have some scale noticed a few flakes there too. Given the swg is fairly low and build of scale. Thoughts on addressing the issues ? I did clean the plates not long ago.

Hi all, have been getting my pool balanced over a number of weeks. Results:- FC : 6 PH : 7.4 TA : 125 (little high) CYA : 50 (will bring up shortly) CH : 400 SWG set at 27% 2 x 5 hours, 2ppm also run pump only 1 hour after each 5 hour period. Pool is pretty crystal clear....as i can see...

My subscriprion just renewed and confirmed payment details via apple, but pool math says i need premium subscription. Details show subscription Jan 2022 so not updates.

Thanks Guys, I suspect the rains have caused the iron issues of late. It eventually cleared up. But came back a week or so later. Armed with my own testing kit now, i was able to get balanced within a few days and clear. Slight cloudy, but suspect this is just me.adding chlorine gradually to...

Initial with stain...chlorine added and clarifier an hour later.

Good morning and best wishes all. Looking for some guidance. My pool has been crystal clear since being part of TFP, the app helps immensely. But after probably a year i noticed a couple of stains not moving. Eventually vit c proved Iron stains. I noticed a bit around the jets too. So...

So to confirm, I have tested using CC test kit on BOTH standard and High sensitivity TWICE for each. Instructions are very clear and have followed to the T. My pool.hasnt been used for a while and letting it settle over the cold period. So usually testing fortnightly. So this time I tested...

Hi all, silly question but I have a clear choice test kit. On a couple of the tests you have standard or high sensitivity depending on what you think it maybe. So I try standard my TA for example 100, high sensitivity TA 30. My pool target 70-90. Which is true? Assume high sensitivity but...

Cheers guys need to shop around for my chemicals ideally day nothing - or I’ll get the war and peace of what my pool should be.
