    Heavy dog use - keeping water balanced

    Thanks for the info, looks like we have very similiar pool setups. I've been monitoring & tweaking the FC level daily, starting each day at 6 or 7, by end of day can be at 3 or 4, just depends on # of dogs/type each day. We thought about doing the rinse off for every dog, but there are some...

    Heavy dog use - keeping water balanced

    I was able to replace water slowly every day, here's my readings as of today PH 7.5 FC 2.5 TC 3.5 TA 100 CYA 40 Ca 175 The water is clear, yeah! So at this point the plan is maintain my Ph & chlorine daily, any other advice? I finally feel in control of my pool without depending on the pool...

    Heavy dog use - keeping water balanced

    Thanks for all the great advice. I'm going to focuus on replacing water right now to get my CYA down - I can at least drain/refill while the pool is being used during work hours. Unfortunately I can't replace water during closed hours since the pool is set up in a commercial building, I don't...

    Heavy dog use - keeping water balanced

    Okay, I did the dilute test and still come up with 100. Replacing the water is going to be a bit of challenge since we're open 7 days a week, will have to figure out how to make that work. I assume if I do smaller replacements I'll eventually get the the CYA lowered, just may take some time...

    Heavy dog use - keeping water balanced

    it is my understanding that any time liquid bleach is added to the pool, it can't be used for 24 hours. Since this pool is my business, it's being used 7 days a week. I'm concerned if I remove the chlorine tablet feeder that I will have to SLAM more often? If I SLAM in smaller amounts can I...

    Heavy dog use - keeping water balanced

    Thank you so much for the information. I realized that I left out a couple things on my initial post. I do run the filter 24/7. I test the water daily for FC & PH using a Poolmaster 5-way test kit. I take it into the pool store once a week for their computer analysis. I was already thinking...

    Hi, I'm new to this site - and learning a lot. I have an indoor swimming pool for dogs business. Been running it for 3 months now, have my water tested weekly at the pool store and have been using their products to keep things balanced (BioGuard) and shocking weekly. I'm constantly struggling...
