We are purchasing a lot of land and would like to build a pool on it. We have a small wash on the back of our land essentially putting us in a flood pain. I can’t really find any info about it but will the top of the pool need to be above BFE or does the bottom of the pool need to be above BFE...

So I know this has been talked about 100 times. But, my pool, in Phoenix, AZ has been sitting in the 94 degree range for water temp. I bought a return jet sprayer and I get it down to 88 degrees at night. The pool rises to about 92 during the day again. My question is, will the pool temp ever be...

So asking you guys that seem to be much smarter than me with chemistry and math. double check me please. My pool uses 1 gallon of MA a week. I’m plagued with high TA for my water fill. With the 34.5% MA I am installing a automatic acid dispenser. I got a Stenner pump that operates at 0.89...

So the previous owner didn’t take very good care of the pool. I didn’t either till I discovered this amazing group! I am wondering what this is… I think it’s calcium scale but want to make sure. Was possibly going to do the No Drian Zero Alakalinty procedure if it is to attempt to get rid of it...

Okay, here it goes. My first ever SLAM. Water was crystal clear to start, but was loosing 4-5fc a night. First week, brushed 4 times a day, vacuuming morning and night. Tested fc levels every 3 hours. After 7 days went away for work, wife kept up testing and adding chlorine morning and night...

Doing a deep clean of the DE filter and found this in the pipes, and was also all over the skimmer basket. Decently easy to scrub off with medium pressure. In the middle of my SLAM and close to the OCLT, but have been stuck at 1.5ppm to 2.5ppm loose every night still. DE filter was the last...

So I’m in the middle of a slam. CYA levels where 50-55 for a solid week. Was mainting FC levels for the correct CYA levels. I had to go out of town for a week. During that week, my wife did an awesome job testing the pool in the morning and at night and was adding the proper amount of chlorine...

Started my SLAM 7 days ago. Water was crystal clear in the beginning but using up 5fc a night. That last 2 nights by FC loss as been 1.5ppm. My question is, I go out of town today and won’t be back for 4 days. How much progress will I lose if my wife continues to test and add chlorine at morning...

4 days into my slam. First ever! Pretty sure this pool has never been properly maintained. Following TFP advice to a T now. I would loose about 6-8ppm overnight so started the SLAM. Been brushing 4 times a day, vacuuming morning and evening, checking FC levels 5-6 times a day. Keeping it at SLAM...

First post! Following you guys for a few weeks now. Love the info. Just converted from inline chlorinator to an SJ-20. Currently getting everything in balance now. However, I saw all your recommendations for around 70-80ppm for cya and the manual says 30-50. So I figured it can’t hurt to ask...
