Thanks Richard I will do that

I have a plunger type backwash valve. I just did a backwash the other day and now I noticed it's leaking from the top. Is there a rebuild kit for this? If so, can someone help me out with the PN#? If not do I have to replace the whole valve? Thanks, JB

Yes I do the same on my I phone and I pad. Its really easy and like you said always free but I just thought it would be a cool and very useful App.

There is an App entitled Pool-calculator I found in the App Store it's $4.99. I would buy it just to try it out but it hasn't been updated since Jan 2011? so I'm understandably sceptical... I would pay that in a heartbeat for a PoolMath App...

Love this site and PoolMath has made all the difference since I started using the TFP method to maintain my pool. I was thinking how cool it would be if PooMath was an App! This way you could use it from your Smart phone or tablet. I think this would be great and very useful to those of us who...

Ok thanks for the info

PH is always high? I can't figure out why my PH is always so high? I have been doing a very good job staying on top of everything. checking the pool daily but I usually have to add acid every time because the PH is up to 7.8-8.0? I know the TA is also a little high but I was told not to be...

I apologize but I posted before and after pics on another thread and forgot to do it on this one. Follow the link... became-a-supporter-let-me-tell-you-why-t72133.html

That is VERY Cool! I almost ordered something like this that I saw advertised on TV but they wanted to charge more for the shipping then the press?? See if I can find one at Lowes :cheers:

An a Happy New Year!! :cheers:

Ok thanks

Heading north with the family tomorrow for 5 days of playing in the snow :whoot: My plan is to do just about the same thing I did when I left for Thanksgiving, Increase the Chlorine to 10 Put the flaoter in there with the trichlor tabs and leave the PH alone PH was at 7.4 when I checked it...

Thanks Jason, I will check it when I get home tomorrow morning and adjust as needed.

Taking PH down to lower TA I took the PH down to 7.0 yesterday then the set the valves to aerate on the normal pump cycle during the night. tested this morning PH 7.4 TA 120 Added acid to get the PH back down toward 7.0 and again It will aerate tonight Is this the correct procedure for doing...

Refill water TA Tested refill (outside tap water) TA - 150 PH - 7.8

I have not tested my tap water. I will test it I was sort of guessing on the PH my tester tops out at 8.0 but it is really dark pink so I guessed it was higher than 8.0

TA is really high? I've been doing my daily test for FC and PH and keeping everything in balance (so I thought) I've been getting a high PH and adding acid as needed So I just did my weekly complete test and here's what I got FC: 5.5 CC: 0 PH: 8.5-9 CH: 280-300 TA: 140 CYA: 48 The...

Yes I did the acid wash myself and Im using the BBB method now for maintanance

AFTER These are the After pics of course

Bought a house 6 months ago with a pool that was in bad shape. Having never owned a pool before I knew nothing. Thanks to the great people on this site my pool has gone from and eyesore to a beautiful thing that my family and I will enjoy very much :party: Thank you so much TFP If you think...

Tabs are out :wink:

I hope you all a a great Thanksgiving! We just got home last night and I did a full set of tests this morning FC - 4.5 CC - .5 PH - 8.0 (probably higher sample was real dark) CH - 280 TA - 160 CYA - 45 going to Poolmath to see how much Bleach and acid I need to add.

Ok thanks, sorry about he additional topic just thought that question had to be in a seperate category. I did test everything yesterday CYA is still at 42 There was also no change in the TA or CH levels Thanks again.

What to do while Im away? Keep your posts under one topic because people need to see your history and test results if they are to help I just refilled my pool after an acid wash and discontinued my pool service. I wanted to start off on the right foot so Im using a good test kit and the BBB...

Test results this evening look pretty good. FC - 7.5 CC -0 PH - 7.8 Water is clear just need to vacuum there's a lot of "dust" on the bottom when I sweep it the pool gets very cloudy
