Suggestions to actually clean a cartridge. About to start up pool next week or two.... They are about 10yrs old and still in great physical shape. Just brown; :) I have always just rinsed off. I tried a tote and pleatco filter wash tabs 2 yrs back. Didn't seem to do anything. Suggestions...

3" tabs typically lower pH and add stabalizer to pool...correct? What effect does ganular (99% Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione) have on the water... I plan to run the liquid chlorine in general, but at times will float 3" tabs or use some granular, but wanted to make sure i was aware of the...

so 18 * 38 L. plan to have 2 skims, pair of drains, then 3 returns and 3 deck jets... is it better to run everything on it's own line.... Like: returns on there own 1.5" each (3 runs), deck jets on a 2" main feed then T into 1" for each (1 main run then 3 small runs) drains tied together...

These all look about the same and seem to have abot the same features. Do they all clean about the same? For the price the kreepy krauly seems to be about $200 cheaper and filters finer down to 5 microns, works on floor, walls (steps& waterliene I think), its has a programable clean cycle if...

the return lines will still be under water level. Should i get the standard white threaded plug with o ring OR the cone shapped rubber expandable style plug? Thanks,

Assuming pH & TA is good.... CYA is like 40 What should I get chlorine level too? Also add polyquat style algecide or anything else?

Ok, so I am a reef keeper and a pool owner.... Just thinking here.... My reef aquarium salt level is 1.026 density which is the same as 35ppt.....Typical avg ocean reef environment.. 35ppt is the same as 35,000ppm.... In a salt pool the aim is about 3500ppm.....So the concentration is 1/10...

Pool opened about 3 weeks ago. Just 12.5% and muratic acid thus far: FC: 1.5 CC: 0 TC: 1.5 pH: 7.5 also got 1 on the taylor OTO in kit TA: 80 CYA: ~10 as i pretty much was full tube CH: 260...at 250 was more purple and 260 turned faint blue last yrs 5 way test strips show I should be...

So i was reading around and stumbled across this... Seems that if you go up to about 1800ppm you shouldn't notice the taste at all yet have "softer" water? How many have done this and is it a noticeable difference? Also any long term issues with the extra salt in the water and around the...

I opened the pool about 2 weeks ago. Grabbed 2 cases of 12.5% chlorine $2.75/gal... Also picked up a gallon of 31% muratic acid. For now I will manually dose the Chlorine as needed. I also just ordered the tf-100 test kit. Will report numbers back when the come. In past: I aimed for Chlorine...

Do they seem to help at all or help keep chemicals in? Or just a waste of money

Totally lost for what to get... Details in sig. I am looking to NOT go broke, especially since I don't mind the usual weekly manual vacuum so far, so just looking for an automatic idea. No idea if electric or suction or what is the way to go? maybe a few hundred $$ if doable.... if not I...

Just putting this out there for anyone interested! I know I wish I knew this when digging around for what pump.... Pump does go faster and slower, but these are a nice range i tested....watt draw based on the easy touch readings. I have: -1 drain, 2 skimmers (all 2" flex) ....~ 30', 25' & 45'...

First new yr with an inground..... And I see worms are an issue here in the spring and NW and inground pools. any tips or tricks or just part of the deal.... Just open sooner??

Just curious: Cheaper long term? Less harmful effects from the "stuff" in the tabs, etc...... Or even the granular stuff. Is there a link explain this anywhere? Also thos on BBB method can or do you drip any way. Or do you use something like Penatir Inteelichem or hayward sense & dispense...

Ok, I am new to the BBB concept... Long time pool owner... How do you know what the concentration of say Liquid Chlorox is vs the concentrate or say a store brand? Are they required to list it? Based on what I have read...Pool store best price for liquid is: 4 gals jugs $12.99 of 12.5% (so...
