Hi everyone, So I'm swimming around in my pool and I notice burn marks coming from the light. It's about size of nickel or quarter near light & goes up, thread like. about 3 inches. It's unnoticable unless you dive under & look. The light still works I think (will test tonight). What can...

I bought a bottle of strips but when my 2 SWCG came in, I found they each came with a bottle. So, I had 3 bottles. To start my salt water pool, I put in 720 lbs of salt. The SWCG's were both saying "lo" but I decided to give them time to get to steady state. After 24 hours, one read "lo" and...

Hi, Everywhere on TFP they instruct to lower TA, you have to lower pH to 7.0-7.2 then aerate to raise pH and lower TA. - - - Updated - - - I don't talk to pool store people. I did a quick study here & summarized what I learned. Will tweak my post. Thanks

My SWCG company recommends TA between 80 to 120, based on Saturation Index and CYA between 60 to 80. Understand there's no FC or CC in tap water (never claimed there was) but what about municipalities that have naturally soft water? What's making it soft? chem geek: "The TA recommended range...

From personal experience, these salt testing strips, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OLP1L6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 are inaccurate. For high accuracvy, use the Taylor Salt drop test http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DO35EU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi Everybody! I came to TFP initially because my 5-year-old pool was in serious trouble and I was totally lost! So I read and read and lurked and lurked. I've stabilized my pool now and here's how I categorize the chems & processes in my head. Feel free to correct any errors. (Remember one...

I wanted to add Borates to my pool but I didn't want to buy 17 boxes of Borax ($68.00) and 6 gallons of Muriatic Acid ($39.00). So, for $85.00 (delivered), I bought 55 lbs of granular Boric Acid from Duda Energy. http://www.dudadiesel.com/search.php?query=boric+acid You can buy varying...

Yes, I understand your point JB. These SWG's hang on side & don't require anything more than a couple of screws to install. They're on Amazon.com (the 20K version anyway) & they got great reviews there. On eBay, the seller was a top seller with a 99.5% rating & thousands of reviews, so I hope...

Thanks, yes I see I have to SLAM it. This morning, FC .04, pH 7.5, TA 125 So I'll go to Wally World, buy 20 gallons of Clorox 8.25% @ $3.50/121 oz. $70.00 just for bleach! I figured once the SLAMming is done and keeping this method, I'd put in 121 oz/day. That's $105.00/month in Chlorine...

My pool was built in 2009. I've had an automatic cover on it from day 1. I knew nothing about pool chemistry so for years I just kept throwing pucks in the skimmers & shocking once or twice per year. I never tested FC, pH, TA, CH or CYA except via sticks. Everything seemed ok until this year...
