I think I’ll be tackling this project myself as most companies want at least $750 where I am. Any suggestions on what caulk to buy or size of the foam backer rod?:neutral:

Okay so our pool pump/motor has died. I've contacted two companies about replacements and they've both told us something different. One company insists 1HP motor is fine (pentair challenger) while the other insists Jandy FloPro 1.5HP. I'm not sure what I currently have as we've been putting a...

It's been repaired twice- by two different pool companies and this is the best it's worked in a long time. I think I may pull the trigger on a Discovery!

I know! ? - - - Updated - - - No clue. Literally two companies have come out to look at it. Its doing WAY more than it was. But it's still not cleaning up the debris.

I'm stalking your thread now ☺️

Here's what it does constantly! Polaris 380 - YouTube

Currently I have a Polaris 380 with the booster pump and I find it doesn't pick up all the debris in the pool and it continues to get stuck on our stairs and doesn't "unstick" itself. We've had two pool companies come out and both say it's working in great condition and they wouldn't replace it...

It's def still orange...

It is DEF orange... - - - Updated - - - It won't let me add the photo!!! - - - Updated - - -

I bought the TFT- 100... I'll go look ��

Very true! Should I try redoing the test and see what my results yield? We were adding 3-4 bottles per day. According to the pool calculator we needed at least 9 bottles to get to a FC of 32 annnnnnd so we added 9 bottles Saturday, no more than 3-4 Sunday and maybe 1 today? I'd have to go to our...

Okay so I'm not alone in my thinking that's it's crazy high??? I was adding just regular bleach to kill all my algae. Should I run it again? - - - Updated - - - There's no way it went from 2ppm to that right???

Watched the video and read the instructions multiple times before performing the test- and made my fiancé do the same!

So our first set of numbers: 276 drops x 0.5= 138 (????) is that even possible??? Getting ready to do the CC test! - - - Updated - - - 30 drops x 0.5= 15 CC

My test kit arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be testing th OCLT tonight/tomorrow am! ��

Agreed! Well I'll go tomorrow and have them test it and we'll see where I am!

I knew that.... ??

Honestly I'm not sure as my test kit hasn't arrived. I can take a water sample back to Leslie's if it would help to have an updated result?

So this am I added 9 bottles of 8.25% bleach (121oz) and the pool LOOKS incredible. Obviously I should continue doing this until I can confirm the results of the OCLT.... Correct?

I've been adding 3-4 bottles of 121oz of bleach. Just did the math with the pool calculator and I should be putting in at least 9 bottles. Since Tuesday I've added almost 15 total- clearly not enough. Looks like I'll be buying more bleach tomorrow am!!!!

I'm such an idiot! I just realized I didn't put down today's CYA reading- 60!

Patrick, they reran my numbers twice to double check them. Of course when I got home, my pool was looking worse starting in the hot tub �� Back to bleach I go! - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - This is after adding three bottles of bleach after seeing my hot tub start...

Just got my water retested at Leslie's: FC- 2ppm TC- 2 Salt- 2500 CH- 210 TA- 80 pH- 7.2 Copper- 0 Iron- 0 Phosphates- 100 - - - Updated - - - Of course they're recommending Pool First Aid to aid in clearing up my water... Should I skip it and just keep adding bleach? If so- how much? Sorry...

YAAAAY! Glad I'm on the right track. And am actually getting ready to take another sample in to Leslie's since it's literally down the road from me. I've been scrubbing sides/floor/etc luckily we have no ladder, we instead have the gunite steps and we've been scrubbing our lights. Pump has been...

So about a week ago we had a green pool. Went to our local Leslie's and they confirmed we had algae due to our FC level being below 0 (long story!!) and thus they recommended green to clean amongst several other necessary chemicals. I found this website 24 hours into treatment and decided to...
