Yes, I started at 0/0 and added stabilizer in a sock, then used the hot water method to dissolve more but at some point my CYA level dipped and that has never happened before. Maybe I had an old or wonky reagent? Maybe I missed the 7ml light slightly so the ratio wasn’t perfect. It was odd.

I seem to recall that one summer i allowed my FC levels to go to zero while traveling and my CYA went to zero as well. As I open my pool, how long can I let CYA dissolve with no other chlorine in the pool? If I am am confused as to what happened a few years ago and Stablizer doesn’t disappear...

I fear I will have to replace my pumps this year. They are old, single speed Hayward 3HP Super Pump II’s. My pool is ~52k gallons (so in theory I need at least 108gpm) and I have 2” pipes (so in theory I need at most 143gpm). My pool has 1300-1400 feet of PVC (I am estimating based on14...

Nice!!! Will do. Thanks.

Thank you. I will check my SCWG and reply.

I should add that I have a DE filter.

Guys I have been using the troublefreepool method for ~5 years with pretty good results. One problem I have run into was not being able to find enough bleach (or having to use scented, no splash bleach) when I SLAM due to the combination of a 55,000 gallon pool and not many stores nearby. I...

It was a week ago and it was 3.5. I have never been over 4. Could it be that high? Would I notice when I swam in it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My water looks great but my latest test was: PH 8.0 TA 110 FC 12?????? CC 0 CYA 80 CH 350 I let Leslie test it and they came back with PH 7.8 TA 60????? FC 4.0 CC 0 CYA 70 CH 210 Salt 3700 (odd bc this is the highest reading I have ever had and I haven't added salt all summer and just added a...

I changed the de grids on it as well. So I went from one clean but beaten up de filter to two clean filters with new grids. Perplexing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the last month my water had been pretty much the same: FC 3-4 CC 0 Ph 7.6-7.8 TA 110 CH 300-350 CY 60ish The ph started spiking so I put MA I. The pool and took to 7.2 TA went 90 And oddly FC went to 6 48 hours later FC is at 8, ph is back to 7.6 and TA is 100 The only other change I...

My water looks awesome but my TA is still too high. I read that we aren't supposed to do anything if TA is high but it isn't causing other problems. Now my PH has gone too high as well... 44k gallon plaster swg pool FC 4.6 CC 0.0 Ph 8.1 TA 95 Hardness 320 CYA 60 Should I lower the Ph to 7...

Awesome. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. I keep seeing 7.6-7.8 for plaster SWG pools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. FC 1.5 CC 0 pH 7.2 TA 110 CH 275 CYA 45 Salt 3000 I will definitely add 154 oz of 8.5% bleach. Should I add the soda ash to increase the pH or will the high TA drive it up on its own? I am inclined to wait until Saturday to add more stabilizer and give the stabilizer I added last week...

I am also beginning to think that the milky water may be the result of DE flowing into the pool.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi. Thank you. I have working against these levels. Plaster with SWG FC 3-5 (See chart) I am 3.4 pH 7.6-7.8 I am 7.6 TA 60-80 I am 120 CH 300-400 I am 140 CYA 70-80 I have no idea but it is sub 30 on my test and Leslie's says it is 0 These readings were before I added: 37oz bleach 16oz ash...

My readings are FC 3.4 CC 0 pH 7.6 TA 120 CH 140 CYA 0 I added bleach, soda ash and some Stabilizer Two questions: 1) did I screw up my pool by adding soda ash and calcium chloride at the same time? Can I recover from this? 2) I have been adding some stabilizer gradually (some in socks and...

No. I took the top off and locked it in position until the replacement can be installed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. Upon further review it appears that I broke the top of the diverter. Ugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I broke the handle on my Hayward valve. I have ordered a replacement. Is there any way I can adjust the setting without the handle? I am stuck on waste now.... Sent from my iPhone
