Thats why when reading another thread I saw that someone had recommended aeration to help raise very low PH.. Interesting stuff. There is a ton of great information on this forum. Thanks to all those who help us!

Quick question - how does a water fall effect the PH level?

I may like this pool after all these years... Actually, having my morning coffee in the backyard this past weekend - they are beautiful when they are looking good. I have no problem taking care of it - I'm outside gardening all weekend - I love being outside. I have to say - the pool robot is...

Thanks everyone for the input- I'm going to test again today when I get home - practice, practice.. I'll start with the PH since that is so low - a 25 lb bucket looks to be around 45.00. Jkpharm, I honestly cant remember if that was 40 drops or not.. I never did water tests like this, so I was...

Good evening all - I got the test kit today - played mad scientist.. So right now, the pool is crystal clear, no algae on the walls. Been raining pretty hard the past two days - been running the filter 8 hours a day. Results - Hope I did this right! Free & Combined Chlorine test - I used the...

with my goggles and white coat.. Ha! is there a video on the basics of how to use the kit? I saw a few on youtube.. they go a little quick for me.

Sorry - After looking at my post I still didnt tell you if it was powder or liquid - I have always used liquid shock.

Kim, I use a product called "Super Shock". Dark yellow in color - I get it at a local pool supply. Again - Thanks for all the help!

I use liquid shock. I ordered the K-2006 test kit on-line. As soon as I receive it I will do a test and share the results. A chemist I'm not.. I do agree with the pool stores in testing water - every store has different results. I cant afford to use their advice with the amount of water I have -...

Hi all - Lets get you some background here. I've had this pool for 31 years (seems like forever). New filter 3 years ago - new pump this year. New liner 6 years ago. Kids used to use it all the time - I never use it. Anyways.. It was used all the time when the kids were growing up - now since...
