Hi chem geek, I actually read it here: Pool School - ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry

HI Chaps, It's the start of the season here in Australia and i did the full set of tests in order to balance the pool for the coming months. Not looking too bad, except the CH levels. My levels tested at 290 (with the TF100) which, when i Last looked at pool math, was in the goal 250-350 range...

Hi Dibbler You are correct, I am in Australia - Sydney in fact. The rains messed up the pool when it overflowed. I also ran out of FAS-DPD halfway through slamming it as well but it seems to have cleared. Im adding the sun ray salt from bunnings. I know some say it's not good quality salt but...

Hi I am in the processing of balancing my pool again after some heavy rains, which caused the pool to turn green. I"ve been SLAMming the pool with liquid chlorine until the water is clear but I noticed this morning when i looked at my SWG that it's complaing of low salt. I tested the salt...

Thanks for that chem geek As for the rising CH do you think that a negtive CSI > 0.6 will cause CH to rise that quickly? or is it more likely evaporation + fill?

hi again \ After plugging my numbers into the poolmath I See that due to the salt requirement for my SWCG (currently level is 3800) my CSI is actually quite negative anyway. In fact it looks like I should let PH go up a bit and raise TA, would that be correct?

HI All After posting the above I saw another thread discussing this topic. After reading the topic I will plug my numbers and check the CSI and get back to y'all if i have any concerns

Hello It's been 5 months since we filled our new pool. Since then CH has been rising, which i gather is normal for a concrete pool. However, I tested my water the other day and these were the results: CH 400 FC 6.5 TA 50 CYA 70 PH 7.6 The CH has risen by 100 since I last tested a month or so...

Milbogo I have a Viron p320 pump and a VIron vph25 chlorinator which is basically the same the as the VX7 but includes PH control as well. I run my p320 all day on low speed with no gas build up, so I don't think you can say that it's always going to be a problem. I was careful however to...

Hi BoDarville Thanks for that! Now I'm curious as to why the pool calculator says 3 is the suggested level instead of the minimum level. Do you know why it says taht?

Hi All My TF100 test results are currently this: FC 3 CC 0 TA 70 PH 7.6 CH 300 CYA 70 SALT 3800 So I think pretty balanced for SWCG. If i up the FC level on the chlorine generator one point (i.e from 6 to 7) FC shoots up to 5.5. IS it better to run FC at 5.5 or OK to run at 3. I know the...

hi Nate I'm in Sydney as well and just built a pool. I got my PB to supply a 'The Pool Cleaner' as they are rated highly here and now have a 6 year warranty in Aus. You can pick them up from Swimart shops or any decent pool shop. Of the pool shops I spoke to they steered me away from the MX 8...

Hi p0las where did you get your refills? did your supplier give you that price for shipping? Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk HD

Hi mick I have one of those viron ph chlorinators. It has not had that error on its display but mine is installed in an enclosure which might keep it cooler. i would suggest you give astral a ring at their head office in Melbourne as they have technical support there so hopefully someone will...
