Thanks, I was a little confused about TA. I really did not think alkalinity could increase with the SWG, but it seemed like other people were experiencing just that.

Hey all, looking for some input here on my numbers. I have a 11k fiberglass pool and I just installed a Circupool SJ40. My TA and my PH both have been low since I opened and my thinking has been once I added the SWG they were going to come up on their own. Is there a flaw to that thinking and...

Thanks guys

Hey all - Pool is open, water is now clear, and the temperature is coming up slowly (72 yesterday). My problem is, my alkalinity is really high and I do not know how it got there or if I should mess with it. My PH is pretty good, do I wait a couple weeks and see if it comes down when the kids...

Hey all, I am looking for a way to store tools, poles, hoses, etc close to the pool, but in something that looks decent. Our shed and garage are both too far away to be a realistic option. I thought of putting hooks on the fence or sinking a couple of posts with LED post caps on top and hooks on...

Digging deeper and farther, I found major damage to the line and...

Does anybody have suggestions for finding and fixing a return line leak? My plan as of now is to start at the pump and dig up the return line looking for leaks. Any help is appreciated.

The chemicals that were added were aqua chem 3" chlorine tablets and calcium hypochlorite granular. Anybody know of any potential reaction and can you tell me what it would be? I am thinking one occurred, the coincidence is just way too convenient.

Hi all, I am brand new to the forum, but have been lurking for a few months. A couple months ago we bought a house that has a 14x32 in ground pool. Following the basics here, I got the pool open and an algae problem under control. A major problem crept up this week and I am looking for some...
