Thanks for all the information. I blew out all the lines in a snap. I blew out the skimmer and return lines using my 5 hp shop vac from the skimmer. Then, I used the air compressor to blow out the main drain line from the pump. Thank you.

GREAT information. Thank you

I am closing my pool. The pool store has in the past. I have all the slamming, decreased water levels, etc. all finished. Just want to make sure my lines are blown out properly. I have an inground with 1 skimmer, 2 returns and main drain. I have the cut off valve to main drain, etc at the...

like the design. But, sorta confused about the 8' depth. We built this year, a 17'X30' and the builder said no way for 8' deep end. The length wasn't enough. So, we wound up with 6' deep end.

Thanks for the comments. But, thanks to all the people who contribute to this site with their comments and share their knowledge. The key really is read, understand and test. I know if I start having problems, somebody here will guide me in the right direction. Thank you.

I did add Clorox and will retest tonight.

Thanks to all for the advise. I do use the recommended Taylor K-2006 kit. Here are the numbers from this morning, (Sunday): FC 1.8 TA 90 Ca Hard 110 pH 7.5 cc 0.2 Even though all instructions say to wait a week to retest CYA....I did it anyway, just to see and it came out 80. After I...

I forgot to add in my original post above, my water is clear and looks great. But, I want it balanced and make sure I won't run into problems. Thanks.

Hello all, I had my new pool installed a couple of months ago. I have been reading this site for about a month. So, I am really learning some GREAT stuff. Anyway, I ordered the Taylor K-2006 test kit. I tested the water Friday. Here are the readings: TA 80 CYA Did not turn cloudy (0) Ca...
