Testing PH of just opened pool. Test shows crazy high ph, off the charts. I have added a gallon of fresh muriatic acid now and it still shows high. Keep adding acid? Pool is green, was clear when closed. Inground, mesh cover. Lots of worms the robot is picking up

Tested my TA the other day and it was 60. Pool math said to add 6 pounds of baking soda to raise it to 80 so I did last night. Tested today and my TA is 100? What the heck? I am guessing on pool volume from my water bill when I did the liner replacement and from chlorine additions and testing...

I have an 18x36 inground with a new liner last year. It is losing water at about 1 to 1.5 inches per day. Unknown age of the pool. I plugged the skimmer and returns and it's still losing water. Jumped in and dye tested the skimmer and returns as well as the main drain and stairs, no dye is...

I am looking for a caddy for my robot. Its very inconvenient sitting in my sunroom. However, they are either not available or someone wants $300 for on on ebay used. Thinking of making my own. Anyone have a line on a caddy?

Knocked this together with about $12 worth of parts from menards. Giving it a test today to see how much it cools my pool! It has 18" of 1" pipe per side with 72 holes total. Hole size is 1/16"

I got this pool with the house and it has a hayward sand filter. I replaced all the sand and inspected the laterals and everything was in ship shape. 300 pounds of new sand. It seems to work properly and filter fine, but the gauge shows 2 PSI after a backwash. If I add DE i can get the pressure...

Water test tonight as follows Fc 2.5 Cc 0 Ph 7.2 Ta 60 Ch 50 Cya 40 (between 40 and 50 closer to 40) I seem to have lost FC about 3.5 today. There were people swimming. I am leaving for 6 days. I am thinking of bumping my TA up to 70 and my PH to 7.8. Ph keeps dropping every other day or so...

So i ordered this cleaner after a week of no response from the recommend place to buy robots. From all appearances and such it seems to be a warrior se/ s200/ active 20 etc. I got it today and threw it in the pool. Pool was massively disgusting! Let it do the robot thing and now my pool is...

So I have had above ground pools in the past, first IG pool now at the new house. Water is green and about 3 feet low. It's a vinyl liner pool and it looks saggy off the walls. Is this going to tighten up when I fill or should I measure and start liner shopping now? This pool, like the past...

Hey all! We recently had a lot of rain over two weeks, and i got a bit of cloudy water and i think some algae. I started a SLAM on Sunday. Cya is at 40. I am keeping the fc at 16 per the chart. Vinyl aboveground, sand filter. I checked it last night and somehow the fc was at 21.5. I checked in...

Opening above ground pool. When i closed it last year and drained below the skimmer, it was at 50 for the cya level. I just checked it after filling at i have absolutely nothing. Does the r0013 reagent go bad? Or did i lose all my cya?

Fc 0 Cc 0 ch 175 Ta 80 Cya solution was clear, i assume 0 then. 13,500 gallon above ground vinyl lined, sand filter, former baquacil for years and years and years. I think i need to adjust the ph first, then start the conversion, right? Or should i up the cya as well, maybe half of my target...
