edit: found it

The pool math app does not tell me how much to add .. just tells me to lower to 7.2 and aerate

My Ph is fine (7.8) but the Alkalinity is 150. According to the pool math app I am to lower the PH to 7.2 and aerate the pool. So how much pool acid should I use to lower it to that amount? I started with about 1.5 liters and will retest in 30 minutes or so but if there is a calculator out...

Found a place that sells the Taylor 2005 here in Canada. $140 CDN plus tax plus shipping for the normal kit. Over $200 for the larger kit (2005C) plus tax and shipping. Needless to say I will wait until the border is open and order from TFKits and have it dropped at a pickup place in Detroit...

I will have to search around .. maybe it is available at poolsupplycanada.ca In the meantime I have added 2 liters (about 1/2 gallon) of liquid pool chlorine (12% strength) and about 750 grams (about 29 oz. ) of pool stabilizer in a sock at the return

I am looking for a test kit .. tftestkits does not ship to Canada and although I am close to the border I can not goto Detroit due to the shutdown.. until i find one i will use a combo of the strips i have, the pool store's chemical test and the hardware store's digital test

I have the metal levels low enough that I do not need to drain Is there a specific product to get the CYA up?4 The gallon of bleach I assume that it is less if I use pool Chlorine which is 12% IIRC Do I wait to add anymore stuff until I have give that vinyl pool shock time to act or do I add...

I had already purchased the stuff from the pool store before I posted this thread, so forgive me that I did not do it like this forum says.. I will use the methods here from now on So they told me to add 4kg of Alka+ (2kg at a time with a 6 hour interval).. I did that yesterday Today I was to...

Do you have a sunny spot anywhere on your property? You could buy irrigation hose (100 to 200 feet of it) and coil it and place in the area where you get sun... bypass some of the water from the system into this coil and return it to the system after it has run through the tubes.

Thanks for the links and the links to the test kits

I have a Hayward Super Pump which is working fine. I generally run my pump mostly at night (when the Hydro rates are low) and a couple hours around 11am to 1pm. Would it be worthwhile to buy a new pump and run it longer during the day on a lower speed setting or wait until my current pump fails...

I assume there is a guide on how to do it? Can you link it (assuming I do not find it with the search function :D )

I moved into this house about 5 years ago and it has the EcoSmarte system. I never had any problems with it, water has been great with little trouble(yes I know you guys do not like the system). But now my Titanium plates need replacement and they cost $569 USD (about $800 CDN) I can not justify...

I spoke with a local guy that does pump repair in Windsor, On .. he said the Splash Pumps are indeed a Chinese product. However he said that alot of the replacement parts that he now gets for Hayward, Jandy, etc are also from China. He said the Chinese companies are looking to improve their...

Blue Torrent Pool Pumps Blue Torrent - ENERGY STAR - 1.5 HP - w/ 8 Variable Speed Pump Seems to be the same pump (because of model # as this one) Splash Pool Pumps Splash Pumps Variable Speed Energy Star Certified in Ground Pool Pump 1.5hp 220v | eBay I cant find any reliable review sites...

thanks for the replies guys.. With energy prices in Ontario going up again (every six months we get an increase) I was looking for ways to save. The rates will be 13.2 cents kWh from 7am - 11am 18 cents kWh from 11am - 5pm 13.2 cents kWh from 5pm - 7pm 8.7 cents kWh from 7pm to 7am (plus...

I have a Hayward Super Pump (I believe it is .75 HP but might be 1hp). Has anyone ever hooked up their pool pump to be run solely on Solar power during the day (and be dormant at night). What size panels would be needed and what size inverter

kind of figured as much :D I dont care if they are in there, I do care they are dying in there.. I dont want to pick their bloated corpses out :D

We opened our pool a couple weeks back. before we opened, we noticed that toads liked to sit on top of the winter cover in the swampy water. We have not had any since we opened, until today. I went to check the skimmer and there was a dead (and bloated) toad in there. I put a solar cover on...

Yeah we are south of Detroit. I hear that this is a lot of snow for the area (1st winter here). However that is a lot of snow for many places in Ontario (in one snow fall). Not sure if the centre is mesh or not, it was already on when we moved in and had some water on it, and I never looked...

Being a first time pool owner I have a question. We have an in ground pool and it snowed A LOT here last night (and still snowing a bit today). The previous owners of the house closed the pool so I assume they did it right. Do you have to / Should you remove snow from the top of the cover...

Me, my Motorycle and my new pool hate you a little bit :D

Keep the pictures coming.. Not that I would personally want to have to do this project, I like watching other people do it :D

This guy has a cheaper (albeit not automatic) option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_abernE1ZI

Very cool project. It was neat to see it go from all grass to water

Merry Christmas to you as well..and to all the other members here

I do have alot of time to read up. Actually I just used detroitmailbox.com to receive a package (not pool related). It costs $5 per package under 70lbs. Good idea about using that type of service for some stuff I cant get here

Thanks :D Hopefully there are some other people from my area in this forum, so I can get advice as to places to get supplies for the pool.
