Has anyone ever had to replace their Active 10 power supply ... 999-560-34us and ..... if you did who had the best price???

thank you! You have been a big help this week!!!

checked my Dollar Store bleach......... NO chlorine smell at all.... Back to walmart we go.... :-( should I get the sand cleaner while I am there?????

It is not scented. First thing I checked this am on the bottle..... making sure I didn't pick up the wrong case. It does contain sodium hypoclorite...... but doesn't say how much.... should i get something to clean the sand????

FC: 7.5 (8 last night before treatment) CC: .5 (1 last night) CYA: 30 Dumped some water last night and refilled. Pushed my pH back up to 7.5 I always use the cheapest bleach I can find so I have been using the bleach from Dollar Tree..... $1 for 96 oz. This am the pool was very...

Pool is white cloudy...can't see the bottom yet. green is gone. According to Pool Math .. I was trying to keep the TC around 16. Here is where we are this am: FC: 9 CC: 1 CYA: 20 (pool store said 40 (Tuesday) ..... so that was what I was using to calculate with) Got my refills in yday so I...

yes. I have SLAMMED a pool on many occasions!! At least once every year!! Gotta love the weather in Arkansas!! :cool:

I have always used my TF-100 kit but its time to replenish it and I was just wondering if they had come out with and new and improved strips!!!! Getting lazy in my older years and my pool is green as a gourd and I am so tired of hauling bleach bottles...... :-(

AquaChek 7 Test Strips Are these any good???

Thanks! That's what I needed to know!!!

Is the sand you buy from a lumber shed (play sand) the same thing as the sand you purchase from the pool store?? Is it ok to use??

You don't understand. I can't keep my stabilizer stable with just bleach. I am having to add stabilizer every week because I can't keep it up due to lots of rain... it keeps diluting my stabilizer..... between that and when i have to add more water... due to evaporation. I am physically not...

My numbers this morning: CYA = 30 (and holding!!! yay!!) TC = .5 pH = 8.0 I've been using my tablets now for about 30 days. My pool is crystal clear. The calculator says to put 13 oz in to get it back to TC of 4. My question is How often do most people add a tablet and what is your goal to...

just got back from walmart. shocking with bleach now.

no. I do need to shock... with all the rain I have a cloudy pool

I got it all crystal clear a couple of weeks ago and was able to quit shocking (according to the 3-step rule). Been doing great but I ran out of bleach this week and I have some tablets. It is ok that it adds some CYA because now I know how to test and watch it not to get too high. We have...

Can you shock with tablets???? I am out of bleach today.

I have already been through a couple of the barracudas and one of the bugs...

got it!!! thanks guys!!!!!! I couldn't do this without you!!! lol

My local pool store gave me a couple cups of DE......so I will start by adding the 1/4 cup but how will i know when to add more??? Will look into purchasing that better gauge. I really don't want to burn up my pump .

What is the best vacuum cleaner for my pool??? I have been through 2-3 without finding one that i love to use!!!

Figuring out how much DE to use: 1. Start by noting the PSI reading on the filter with the pump running. 2. Mix 1/4 cup of DE with water in a bucket and pour that slowly into the skimmer. Remove the skimmer sock, if any, before adding DE. 3. Give the system about two minutes to stabilize. 4...

yes. it is usually clear going through the sight glass. I will make it a point to rinse longer. Patience, my dear!!!!!

ok. I thought it was suppose to take 30 seconds........ so it should be longer??? maybe 1 or 2 minutes????

That is exactly what I thought about doing yesterday but could not find any at the local walmart. I found that article and was reading about it and wondered if that was my next step!!!! Sometimes when I backwash and then rinse and then return to filter it puts brown water back into my pool for...

Almost there but not quite: 6:00 am testing ph = 8 FC = 12.5 CC = 0 CYA = beginning to get it up... still less than 20 but target is 30 CH = 250 TA = 175 My target last night was 11 so there has been no loss overnight so I added 6.5 qts of bleach. It is a slightly cloudy blue but can see the...

Had a loss of 2 in my FC last night. Pool is still cloudy but can see more of the bottom this am. What should my stabilizer goal be???

It was approx 1.5-2 lbs. It was piece of a bucket left from last year. :roll: I was just beginning and I knew I had a lot of backwashing and vacuuming to waste so I didn't think it would do any good to put a lot of stabilizer in the pool just yet. My refills just arrived and I have retested...

Pool is milky blue today with not as much green. I can finally see the vacuum as it goes across the bottom....barely. My chlorine is still staying high. NO loss over night... in fact it even went up.... now how can that happen. Hopefully the new test refills will be here today. But my...

6:00 am testing ph = 7.5 FC = 5.5 CC = 1.0 CYA = 5 CH = 225 TA = 150 Color is blue green ... still can't see the bottom. The FC target is still 10. Should be able to test CYA accurately by tonight.
