    New Pressure gauge, reading incorrectly??

    2. In your detailed backwash procedure, you do not mention turning off the pump before switching functions.....do you? Yes I do, I forgot to mention that. 3. Why do you backwash with no indication from the guage? (no pressure rise) Unless your guage goes 6-8 lbs above normal ("normal" seems...

    Water turning cloudy

    I am using the TF-100 kit. My CH is 60, according to the Basic Pool Chemistry: In a vinyl lined pool there is no need for calcium. From that information I would say I am okay with 60. although the pool calculator says I need to add 506 oz. of calcium chloride. What should I do?
