Ok. I researched more and there are screws that come with the Adapter. But we just had a Hurricane and the cover was off the pool got trashed with debris. Did that debris go through into my PVC lines or is there netting of some sort down inside to prevent the debris from getting sucked up into...

So how does my current cover attach to the adapter. I see no screw holes in the Adapter.

So from what I researched, there are stainless steel screws that keep the main drain cover in place and free from movement. I'm assuming after 25 years the chemicals caused the screw holes to enlarge causing the cover to come off. It's centered on at the moment but I guess I need together a Leak...

Ok Thanks. I hear all sorts of stories adding Shock to a Skimmer will damage filter and Pump but I figure once in a Hurricane can't hurt. And I didn't want my Polaris to suck it up. That was my reasoning.

I usually add it to the pool but we just went through Hurricane Sally and need to Vacuum & use my Polaris 280 to get all the leaves out. But I figure just this one time can't really hurt the filter or pump. I figure it can clear out the lines maybe and clean them up. Thanks in advance.

Yea I did that once before. That stuff heats up and burned my hands. I'll wear a mask & gloves this time. It's like 90's here in the panhandle. I'll add it slowly to deep end. It should melt pretty quickly. Thank you for your help Marty. I do appreciate it.

Thanks. I got the Calcium Chloride I usually get instead. Do I really have to mix Calcium in a bucket of water to distribute. My pool needs 50 Lbs. I've done this before. It's quite a project. ;-) Can't I just put in 25 LBs in deep end and add the other 25 LBs in a couple of days?

Walmart sells Calcium Chloride Crystals. Is this Ok to use for my Gunite Pool?

Yea I understood what U meant. Sorry for the confusion.

It's amazing how fast the Pucks raise the CYA. I put 2 Clorox (New Product) Pucks per Week. From 30 the CYA went to 80 in a month. Ok. I got it. It's going to take tons of Liquid Chlorine. I may try Bags of Cal-Hypo. But last time I used that, Water was cloudy for 10 days.

My own Test Kit! I never rely on ANY pool store testing. Thanks for asking! The Tests are accurate. Performed them 2 times.

I have 3 issues at once & I would like to know which one to battle first. Don't want to just dump a bunch of different Chemicals in at Once. I need to Shock It. Calcium Hardness is Low. PH is High. FC 3 (Algae growing on Pool Walls) Alkalinity 80 CYA 80 PH 8.2 Calcium Hardness 80 (20' x 40'...

Ok. Took plastic steps off. Could not take the entire stairs off with silver handle poles. They are cemented in ground. But the plastic steps underneath have all these nooks and crannys I have them soaking in bleach. Lots of algae in there. Will not put steps back for a week or so. Really want...

Ok so I had to start it without the right Test Kit. Yesterday I went underneath the Steps & Found Algae there. Got a screw driver & scraped & tons of Algae & tons of pieces came in to pool. Let my Polaris get it all. Brushed Side Walls. Pump is running 24/7. Backwashed like Once a day. A lot of...

Question: A recent new member of the family is a 2 year old boy. He was in the Pool for at least 45 minutes per day. He wears a Swimming Diaper. Could his urine be canceling out the Chlorine? Have since added up to 10 Pounds of Shock. Still No Free Chlorine & No Total Chlorine.

I think I made a big mistake. I overdosed the pool on Calcium. My CH was 80 and I added almost 40 Lbs of Calcium. I'm thinking such a large amount might effect my chlorine test. Possible or not? I put enough calcium to bring the CH to 480. I know, dumb move.

Your description scares me, but I think your correct. I do have Algae by my steps. Should I shock the pool? My test kit has worked all along for the last year. I understand that it may not be the best test kit.

3 days ago I had FC: 4.0 No Tabs in Feeder. Just Ran Out. Taylor K-2005 Complete (High) It's not the Reagents or both Test Kits. They all work fine. I confirmed this with my local Pool Store & he comes up with FC & TC 0. Could too much calcium cause a bad read? Or could it eat up all the...

All Reagents are New. One is a generic Test Kit and the other a Taylor Complete K-2006 I think. So 2 different Kits are reporting the same thing. Water is cloudy after I added all the Calcium. I waited 3 hours after putting Chlorine in & then performed the Tests.

So first I put in 2.5 Gallons & got a reading of 0 Free Chlorine. I thought it was the Chlorine. So then I put 2.5 Gallons from another Store. These are 10% Chlorine. Still No FC or TC. I ran test with 2 different Test Kits. CYA: 45 PH: 7.6 TA: 80-90 CH: 300 4 days ago put I put 30 LBs of...

True. Like I said, I need to get the Leaks Repaired.

I have a couple leaks. I lose an Inch or so every 2-3 days. Need to get that fixed. But it came in handy for getting my CYA down.

I find it unbelievable they actually put something in there & call it Trade Secret. heck, that could be ANYTHING!! I know there are people who have complained it died their Liners. Guess I'll wait & get something better like the Natural Conditioner mentioned. I put 2LBs of Cal-Hypo in just to...

Think this has Trichlor from what I remember. I have to go pull it out & see. http://www.wal-mart.com.cn/ip/Pool-Esse ... k/19795892

OK. Funny how just in April I was trying to get my CYA down from 90 & now I have to Raise it. Thanks. I will research Prices & Product you both suggested. Don't have any Tabs but I do have a box of Walmart Pool Essentials Shock, would that raise it?

I use to have a high CYA & now because of Rain & strictly using Liquid Chlorine, My CYA is below 20. Because of such a Low CYA reading, I'm going through Chlorine by the Gallons. I looked in Pool School for the answer, but did not find. I apologize if this question has been answered 1000 times...

No. They are Dimming. It appears to act like the 2 Wall Switches are somehow working together. I have some phone calls in now. I ultimately would like 1 Breaker for Pool Lights & 1 Breaker for Security Lights. But in my case, not only are they on the same breaker, but when I turn the supposed...

I lived at this house for 10 years but I have always wondered about this. My Pool, Spa & Security Lights are On the Same Breaker. But here's the thing. If I turn On the outside switch on the wall for Pool Lights, The Pool Lights come on normally bright. Then when I Turn On The Switch for the...

Re: Pressure Gauge for Sand Filter Condensation Build Up/Lea Wow. That's a beauty. I like it. Shipping is Only $5.99. So for under $20. still not bad as long as it lasts & works. What kind of Liquid do they use inside the Gauge?

Re: Pressure Gauge for Sand Filter Condensation Build Up/Lea Cool. Thanks Jay!
