Pool temp in Shreveport at 88 degrees. Right now air temp is lower than pool temp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very thankful to TFP forum and the folks that answer each thread! I have only had my pool for 2 full seasons and I am literally obsessed with reading the posts. Pool school and reading the posts have helped me to learn about my pool chemistry and take control. It's a good thing too...

I have the color q photometer and the Taylor k 2006 kit. I use them both although I consistently use the Taylor kit more often. Be sure with the color meter that you occasionally clean the inside meter window with a q tip & windex, and that your tubes are always cleaned well between uses & you...

SWG can lose their calibration. My salt generator had to be recalibrated twice. It read low salt but the level was actually fine. I did not know & went by what SWG was telling me and consequently ended up with too much salt which required a partial drain. This may not be your problem but I...

I have a floor cleaner from paramount like the one pictured. Mine has worked fine so far but it is only had my pool 11 months. Occasionally the gray head doesn't pop back down but I just push it and it easily resets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need help from you chemistry wizards!!!:D I test at home with my Taylor k2006, and also verify if I get strange results with my LaMotte color meter. I am also required to bring occasional samples to my PB store for my plaster warranty. So I will post both my results & pool store for today...

In my conversation with the tech at Taylor industries, he said I should not use household bleach because there is approx 8.5 percent bleach & 93-96 percent "other" listed on the label, which includes TDS. He said I "should use calhypo, lithium or only liquid chlorine from pool store." I...

Yes, Hawk,he was referring to TDS in my household bleach. Thanks, Karmabiker! I meant he has been pool stored in the above post. Obviously, he hasn't been pool schooled! Lol. I was just surprised at his aversion to household bleach!

My husband & I had a discussion as to wether reagents in my Taylor K2006 test kit should be shaken or not before using. So I called Taylor Industries this am and talked with a very nice gentleman in the tech department. He confirmed that the reagents should not be shaken as suspended air may...

I will figure out house to post photos ASAP ! Thanks for the welcome!

Hello! I am so thankful to have found this site!!!! I also want to thank Dave for being helpful with my test kit Taylor k2006. We built our pool August 2013, and did not have a clue about taking care of it. We had a relatively good PB but had a few issues with our build & equipment. You...
