Thanks everyone for all your help!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks. Sorry for the bad info. Ill need 9 pounds of baking soda to increase my TA. I had that mixed up. Ill have to re-test my CH. You have my second guessing it. Here is what I had this morning FC 5, PH 7.5, TA 60, CH 0. CYA 30.

Good idea. I guess Ill have to go that route. Thanks for the tip

Walmart, Lowes, Costco and Home Depot don't carry this anymore....I referring to the big 13 or 15 pound Arm and Hammer bags that have a picture of a pool in front of it. I've looked everywhere. Maybe they are all out in Georgia:(

Thanks so much for the reply. My CH is pretty much 0. Walmart, Lowes, Costco and Home Depot don't carry this anymore....I referring to the big 13 or 15 pound Arm and Hammer bags that have a picture of a pool in front of it. I've looked everywhere. I only see the Calcium Hardness Increaser...

Where can I purchase the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda? I use to be able to purchase a 13 pound bag pretty easy. Seems like stores don't carry that anymore. Should I use Calcium Hardness Increaser from Lowe's?

Thank you sooooooo much! Great information.

Awesome! Ill enjoy the savings!!! Do you run your pump on low 24/7?

It works! Thank you. One more question. The psi on hi is 15. When I click the switch to low it runs at 5 psi. Is that too low?

I just purchased a new Pentair Superflo 1HP Dual Speed pump. Thanks to someone's suggestion in this forum! The good news, I installed the pump and it works great. You can hardly hear it. I'm having trouble with the Dual speed toggle switch. I'm obviously not putting the wires in the right place...

That is a big help. Thanks for letting me know. I feel a lot better about ordering it. Installation seems pretty easy. Ill definitely check out the link and order. Thanks!!!!

I need help!!! I have an inground pool and need a new pump. I found one on amazon but it ships in a month. That is way too long. I'm looking for a 1hp 2 speed pump. This is the one that I found on amazon Amazon.com : Pentair 340042 SuperFlo High Performance Energy Efficient Two Speed Pool Pump...

Thanks for the links. That really helps. It's a little overwhelming. I'm sure Ill figure it out. I did the pool!!

I'm new to owning a hot tub. I do have a pool and this is my second year using the BBB method. It's been fantastic! Is maintaining the hot tub chemistry the same as a pool? How often should I run the jets? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks! I did see that as well. There is a good chance that it's the Flow Switch. It does appear to be pretty new though. I have a feeling that it has something to do with that pump 1. I didn't know if someone has experience this problem with theirs...pump 1 only working on high speed.

I have a Sundance Spa Oltima 2004. I just bought a house with this hot tub. The display shows a "FLO" error on the screen and the hot tub is taking days to heat up. It's now at 95, but it took 2 days just to get to that. Pump 1 has two speeds. It only works on high speed. On low speed, it just...

I read about slamming process in the pool school. I don't understand how much chlorine do I need to add to SLAM my pool. Any suggestions?

Got it. Ill give it a try. Thanks

Thanks. The water is a little cloudy but not bad. Yes, I did read that. I'm just hesitant with all these chemicals. Did I buy the right calcium chloride?

FC - free chlorine 1 ppm CC = Combined Chloramines 0 TC= total chlorine 1 PH 8.2 TA - Total alkalinty 70 CH - calcium hardness 125 ppm CYA - cyanuric acid...aka stabilizer/conditioner 50 I tested my pool about 3 weeks ago and the CYA was 150 or more. I drained the pool about half way and it was...

Ok. Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure cya is around 100 to maybe 90. I would just hate to drain the pool again. I'm going on vacation tomorrow for a week.

It's really cloudy. I guess Ill SLAM?

Can I not drain the pool and balance the other levels? Ill drain it in a couple of weeks. I just don't want to deal with it right now.

I understand that part. I just drained half and re-filled it because CYA was like 140. What would be the next step? Just curious
