I have the Taylor FasDpd test kit. The instructions say that when you add the R-0010 and then the R-0011L the sample will turn red, then count the drops of R-0009 until the colour turns to blue. My sample only turns to a very pale pink, and eventually a very pale blue, but the colours are so...

I have a continual battle with scale as our water here is extremely hard, so every time I top up I am adding calcium. The more rain water we can get into the pool the better. I have been keeping the PH down to around 7.2 or 7.4 and was concerned that this was too low. I think I understand from...

Hi everyone Haven't been here for a while so sorry that my first post is asking for advice. I have a large pool, and would really prefer to find an automatic cleaner that takes the dirt into the pool filters, as otherwise I would probably spend as much time cleaning the filters as I do...

I have a 25M x 8M pool, 2.8M in the deep end. I am looking for a substantial robot pool cleaner to link into the filter system. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any advice.

PH is currently 7.6. I understand that to lower TA I need to lower PH, however our fill water comes from a limestone water table, so I think I will be constantly increasing TA with every backwash and top up. Should I be constantly adding acid to get the TA down or can I just accept and live...

Please start your own threads to avoid hijacking. Thanks, Butterfly Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a similar problem. Having just spent the last 2 weeks getting our pool near to perfect I am going away for a week next Thursday, and my husband has a lot to cope with looking after our...

A friend of mine has what looks like calcium build upon a liner pool - very bad too. Can you suggest how to clean it?

Hi, new to this forum and in need of help. Our pool is 4 years old, and each year it has been a bit of an experiment getting it going for the summer. We are in Southern Italy and much of what is talked about here is like a foreign language to me. Our pool is 8 metres by 25 metres, with a .8...
