PoolStored, thank you! I will monitor the pool pH.

Aloha to everyone! I think I have my pool water stable now. Here is the latest data pH = 7.5 FC=12 CC=0 CH=875 although I did a second test and it came out to be 800 TA = 70 CYA = 90 When I did my CSI with water temp. recorded at 80F CSI = 0.06 (using CH=875) CSI = 0.03 (using CH=800)...

Just a quick update. I received my pump and should be ready to replace pool water. I did a test today and here are my results. pH = 8.2 FC = 8.5 CC= 0.5 TA=110 CH= 775 CYA = 90 It's been raining these past couple of days. Not strong enough to fill / replace some pool water but enough to...

PoolStored - agreed! MITBeta actaully lead me to CSI calculation and I did play around with the pH to get a "no scaling" result. I've been testing my pH and following the prescibed MA addition. pH has dropped to 7.8 and shooting for below 7.6 Much appreciated for all your help! I feel...

MITBeta - I did have my CSI tracking on and just turned on Temp tracking. When I do enter information on the CSI, it does say that scaling is likely. Checked pool temp with temp probe (80F). CSI = 0.93 Greater than 0.6 suggests scaling is likely. Here are my latest #'s (6/8/23) FC = 8 CC=.5...

MITBeta - it's actually the pool guy who probably let go of the pool condition since I've owned this pool for three years now and it's only the 2nd pool guy (5 months now) that I'm seeing this problem. I saw him dump 1 gallon of MA one time. I just did not bother ask but will let him go and...

MITBeta - our tap water is 40-50 ppm CH. Based on this, I have to exchange 47% of my pool water (per PoolMath) Ok, so since I have to wait for my pump to arrive (June 12), CH is just rising. But I can lower pH by just adding MA (3 cups, 9 oz per PoolMath)? Is there anything I need to do...

MITBeta - :ROFLMAO: duh! Use my test kit of course! Thanks!

NVM about the flocculant, I just read that TFP does not recommend it :giggle: So it's replacing water then which I will need a pump or can a backwash be adequate? That might not be enough water to remove.

PJT - Noted on using MA on the SWG cell. I'll rinse, scrape the calcium deposit MITBeta - I have no idea what the CH of my tap/municipal water is. What do you guys think of using flocculant to remove the calcium? So if I am to replace some water from my pool, I will need a pump, right? I...

Thank you for all your replies! I am on the West side of the Big Island - Kona. We don't get as much rain here compared to Hilo (east side). I do fill the pool once a week or else the pump will be sucking air. When it does rain though, it pours! So yes, I sometimes had to dump water or the...

Aloha to everyone! This is one great site for us pool (and spa) people!:) I look forward to maybe helping others in the future but for now, I need help :cry: First time owner of pool and just wanted to do things myself. I will have to let go of our pool guy and I want to do it better. I...
