Thanks a lot, that is good to know! Thanks!! It took us hours of thinking!! :) Since we live in a hill, we wanted to take advantage of the fact that the pool's wall are over the ground on one side. But it took me for ever to seal the windows! I tried 7 times in total... you know some people...

Right! :P I didnt know about the merge with Duke. I was actually a consultant for Progress. I worked for 6 month at their building in Raleigh downtown, working on Fortran programs for their Brunswick power facilities at (I'm a nuclear engineer). thanks for the info, nice to meet you!

Thanks Dave. Yesterday my FC is 3 according to the liquid HTH test! I think that the strips are giving me bad readings. They are old, I will take them back to the store. BTW, I used to live in Raleigh! Working for Progress Energy :)

I just bought some HTH (http://www.hthpools.com/) strips that measure TA, pH and FC. I also measured the water sample with my HTH liquid pH and FC to double check, and finally I tested the water from the network (which in my house also come from a close drilled well). Here are the results...

@BoDarville thanks for the welcome and for your comments! 1) 3-in-1 tables data sheet: Trichloroisocyanuric acid tablets - Triclorine -S-triacionotriona - Algaecide - "Clarifier" 2) Dichlor (Dicloro-S-triacionotriona, 60%) 3) Benzalkonium chloride thanks a lot!

mmm... I never thought about that. I did the polish myself: I can tell you it was a very strong, whitish layer of rough, in the bottom and walls.... maybe it was calcium, it does make sense. There were also some parts of the finishing that were burned out buy the acid clearly, but that was in...

@jason, thanks a lot!! Sorry for not posting the test results before. I only have available PH/FC: PH: 8.2 FC: 3ppm My tablets wont decrease the PH. I am using 3' 3-in-1 tablets, 2 per week. My complete maintenance schedule is: - 2x 3' 3-in-1 tables per week. Any previous tablets left overs...

@chem geek, Thank a lot!! You are right about the feeders. The most common way to maintain a pool here is using chlorine pellets + algaecide + chlorine in powder. Chlorine Liquid is also common, but i find that pellets + powder are easier to handle. Also, my PH tends to be always high, so I...

Hello TFP Members! I have been reading your forum for sometime, so I thought it was time to introduce myself, and thanks you for all the useful information I have read here! I own a 70,000l ~ 20,000gal pool in Tucumán, Argentina. The pool sits near the house with is itself in a mountain lader...
