I thought it went bad. These bottles look OLD! I'll just use them then. Thanks for your reply.

I didn't know where to post this. I have about 4 old bottles of muriatic acid. How do I dispose of them?

We have a nice cover, but we haven't used it in a few years. This year we are having a lot of leaves. We need to put the cover on, but the rail at the steps and the ladder will not come loose for us to remove them. Hubby has used Liquid Wrench with no luck. Any suggestions?

Well, the sandpaper worked. When you use vit c, how long should you leave it on a spot? Also, we ordered a light and when hubby started putting it in, it wouldn’t screw in. That part was also very rusted down in there. Anyone know where we might be able to find just that part and not a whole...

When our liner was replaced, our pool light was not reinstalled properly. The light quit working, and there was rust everywhere including the glass and the faceplate. We scrubbed and scrubbed, and it’s barely visible on the glass. Hubby has ordered a new light. My concern is the face plate that...

My pool holds 25,000 gallons. How much water would I need to displace to get it from 100 to 75 or 80?

We usually get ours from Academy Sports, but they're out. Maybe other sporting goods stores. I ordered some from WalMart to pick up, but they didn't have any. At our Lowe's, you cannot go in thru the garden section. You have to go to the back of the store and get in line to go into the garden...

I like Morton because it is really fine and dissolves easily. Now if I could just find some.

I can't find salt right now, so I can't find bleach or salt!

We never totally closed our pool down here. I'm ready to get going for the Spring and of course no bleach of any kind anywhere, so I got some pucks for now. Here are my levels: Chlorine 1 pH 7.4 TA 50 CYA 55 I didn't check the salt level because the test and the SWG usually say very...

So where to start? We got a swg this year and used it through the summer, loved it! In the winter, we don't close our pool completely down. We just run the pump if the temp gets below 32 deg. I think we've run it once this winter. Anyway, it's supposed to get cold tonight, so hubby went out to...

Another question. I was not absolutely sure about my CYA reading, but for the last stabilizer that I put in, I used the Clorox brand, which doesn't usually last for me. Long story. Anyway, my CYA is 50, should be 70. My instructions for my SWG say not to add any chemicals while the SWG is on. So...

I need some stablizier. The one from Leslie's works and lasts, but it's pricey and seems to take a long time to dissolve (yes, I use the panty hose trick). Also, they're closed right now. Does anyone have any experience with the Pool Time from Home Depot?

So I finally got all my levels to the recommended. I just turned on my unit today. I do have the following questions. (Don't ask for levels, grandson spilled something all over my paper!) 1. The manual for the SWG said to start it off at 70%. Does that sound right? 2. Should I run the pump...

Thank you all!

I am going salt for the first time and just got a new liner. Salt test kit is on order and is a K1766 kit. The unit is a CircuPool RJ-45. It should be here Friday. Pool is filling now, and based on what I know about our pool guys, I can probably start running the filter on Tuesday. I’ve been...

Is there no good paint that can be brushed on? I can use a brush quickly with no tape or anything, but a spray will add a lot of extra work for me.

Yes, it does.

The liner is being replaced at the end of the season, so that's not an issue, but I'm heading out now to add stabilizer. My test kit is a kit with all Taylor reagents, and it measures up to what you are suggesting, so I feel really good about that. Thanks for the help.

Yes, but I keep having to backwash as it is. Won't that be a problem to be adding it now?

So I started off with a dark green pool. I've been slamming, brushing, vacuuming. The water is now light green, and I'm not seeing an improvement. I have fiberglass steps, and I can see a definite area where steps meet pool floor. I have a ladder, and I can see all 3 rungs. But I can't really...

Our liner has split. We do have a piece to patch it with. The color will be off, but we are trying to make it through this season. As you can see from the attached picture, the water level is down some. You'll notice that the liner has pulled out from the wall some, but it is attached at the...

Now, everything is better but not holding overnight and water has been milky for days. So I have the following questions: 1. How low does FC need to be for me to get a good ph reading? Could that be my problem - that the ph is off? 1. How often can I add de to the skimmer? I follow the...

I have come a long way, but my CYA is 60, and I have a question. I added less stabilizer than was called for, thank goodness. I was aiming for 30. Anyway, based on the chart, it looks like I should take the chlorine level to 24. Won't that bleach out my vinyl liner? I know my only other option...

Okay, so I think everyone agrees that I shouldn't lower the level of water. 1. Going to check CYA in a bit. I think I have some, just probably low. If I need to raise it, would I do that first? I know it usually says on the bottle to run pump continuously and not backwash for a certain period...

Last summer our pump broke at the end of the season, ordered new one and hubby plans to install this week-end. We did lower the water below the skimmer and returns before winter. The pool water is dark green. I've been through this before. I went through SO MANY bottles of bleach before my...

It surely would help if the pool calculator would have the 121 oz option in it. I tried to send an e-mail about it, but it wouldn't go through.
