    Difference in Taylor Calcium Buffers

    I ran out of the calcium buffer that comes with the Taylor K-2006 kit and bought a larger bottle, trying to save a few pennies, but didn't realize it was a different number on the bottle. R-0010 comes with the kit, but I got R-0653-2. Can this be used with the R-011L and R-0012 reagents?

    Shrimp in my salt water pool?????

    Why do I have shrimp in my salt water pool? They are very, very tiny, but those are definitely shrimp. The second image shows them in relation to the bottom of a small beach bucket so you can see how small they are, maybe 1/2 cm. FC 6.5 pH 7.4 TA 80 CH 300 CYA 50

    Slamming and the dead worms? Show up.

    I am in the process of slamming my pool for mustard algae and one day I found piles of these dead worms, maggots, larvae? They are always clumped together and dead, but what are they and where did they come from?

    Replacement suggestion for Pentair Easytouch

    The remote for my Pentair Easytouch system has died. As I was searching for a replacement, I was surprised at the cost. I would love to update to a system that I can control with my iPhone, iPad, Alexa (possibly), etc. Any suggestions on what is the latest, greatest out there?

    Rust color on filter

    I just finished cleaning this filter. The dirt is all gone, but why does it have this rust color? The pool itself looks beautiful. PH 7.8 FC 3 TA 130 CYA 30

    SWG and rain

    Here in south Louisiana we get a LOT of rain. I feel like I am constantly having to add salt because the rain dilutes the pool whenever we have a downpour. Is this normal?
