Quick question and first, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere on the forum. It seems like every thread I click on that mentions the use of this product has something slightly different than my issue and I just want to make sure I’m on the right track before I start. We had a new liner...

Hi all, nice to be back and ready to start off summer (ish) right! The guys are replacing our liner now and new water is being delivered in a few hours so husband will be opening later today or tomorrow. Sorry if this info can be found somewhere here as I don't know where to look but what...

Anyone have any recommendations? Our current liner is estimated at about 15 years (as per our pool inspector 4 years ago when we bought the house) and it's on its last leg. Pulling away at the corners, completely faded to solid light blue on the bottom of the deep end and high traffic areas of...

Hi all, I've learned a lot on this site about care for our pool since purchasing this home 3 years ago. Due to the many posts about the irrelevance of calcium levels for vinyl pools, I've basically ignored even testing for it. My BIL brought it up recently though, stating his pool company...

Looks like we will open some time this week and I want to have everything as ready as possible, both physically (product-wise) and mentally. I think I'm down to only a few questions. 1) CYA (possible loss of)... Last year when we opened, I remember the pool had no CYA left whatsoever. I...

We've decided to try adding borates to the pool this year, and are possibly opening tomorrow. I was going to just buy the Proteam Supreme Plus, as my SIL has been using it for the past couple years and loves it... But after reading various threads for the last couple hours, it seems I may...

Just opened our inground today and here are my levels: CC- 0 pH- 6.8 TA- 70 CYA- 0 (had gotten down to 0 by opening last year too) I have all the ingredients on hand to BBB it, except CYA which I'm running out to pick up now. When I return home, I'm not sure which order I should go in to...

I've read all I can find but still need answers to a couple things. Trying to close ourselves this year and following the formula on JasonLion's inground pool closing thread so right now making sure levels are in order before I do my SLAM. Yesterday my pH was way high, 8.1-- I guess due to...

Hello there everyone, Our pool has recently been opened for the season and all my levels are looking spot-on... except my CYA. I started using the BBB method last summer when we bought the house w pool and have been very happy with it-- love my TF100 kit and all the money I started to...

So I definitely should've posted this question in early October when the pool company came to close our pool since I think I might be forgetting things. Bear with me, please! We used a different company to close our pool than we did in the spring to open it (this has been our first year in...

Hello all, First, let me say that I can't even believe how awesome this site is. I've already read quite a bit on here and am so grateful you're all here and so willing to help us! I'm going to give a not-so-short rundown on my last 2 months as a pool owner and then hit you all up with...
