Unfortunately, it looks like I have a leak in my pool. I have called the pool guys over, hopefully they will come some time in the next week or so. I don't have an overflow contraption in my pool. I just purchased this hope about 3 years ago and one of the big negatives in this house was...

Hello, I am heading out on vacation for about 10 days in august. I have the pool chemistry thing accounted for during this time. My question is about water loss. This summer has been pretty dry with not much rain here in New Jersey. I was wondering, can I just shut off both the skimmers...

Hello Dave, I see your point. I did read all the stuff in Pool School, it is just that there is a pretty decent bit of information and in my over enthusiasm I have been asking a bunch of questions in these forums. I will re-read and come back here. Cheers, Gundan

Hello Smykowski, Do I have to purchase cyanuric acid and do the sock treatment or can I use my existing tablets to bring my CYA levels up? Further, I have purchased this big tub of tablets + a big box of powdered shock from Costco, can I just return those things as I am now going to use the...

Hello All, I just received my K-2006 kit and I have been reading the booklet & the testing instructions. I have 2 questions. 1. The first NOTE says, For 1 drop = 0.2 ppm, use 25 mL sample, for 1 drop = 0.5 ppm, use 10 mL sample. I am confused as to what that above statement means? Does...

Hello, We purchased our home in New Jersey last september with an in-ground 28,000 gallon pool serviced by a Pentax DE 60 sq feet filter. When we closed the pool, we took the DE apart and cleaned everything out and further put it back together when we opened up last week. When I started...
