Thank you, diving in after I set the phone down

Ok been learning and messing with water and testing all week. It's 82 out and would love to go swimming. I tested last night and all my fc was gone again but I also had no cay in there so it wasn't staying so I put my usual 4 cups in plus 3 extra thinking maybe today Fc level would be perfect. I...

Excellent thank you. I hadn't read that article yet. Told me what I needed to know though.

I guess that's kind of my question. How long does the pump need to run and when it the best time. Is there a rule of thumb on this? I am assuming you want it to run after adding chemicals for a few hours. Also after swimming, or during swimming. So it cleans anything you put in the pool out...

So I am still learning a lot in a crash course on pool care. I have been browsing other threads and trying to find things I need and need to do that I didn't know. Anyway, I see mention of timers a lot on skimmers and filters? So basically I plugged my pump, skimmer into the wall and just let...

Labs are pretty awesome. He is my second, his name is Hemi. He has taken me on quite a journey in life, quite the journey indeed. He is a Dog Scout of America. Which yeah is a thing, dogscouts.org he earns merrit badges and we go on doggy vacations. I personally am an introvert. I have been more...

You must have a lab, but you forgot hide the bucket because that will get played with too. Unfortunately I don't have many pics of him in the pool. Just one actually. We just set the pool up last weekend and it was freshly filled. I didn't have the pump on it yet, but did later that evening...

Ok thanks will pick up some tomorrow. I will also add the info to my sig tomorrow too as it is midnight here. One more question before I go off to bed is the stabilizer in that form safe for the dog? I can imagine him going over and grabbing the sock, like Hey whats this new pool toy? Should I...

Well I believe I can answer that question with another question. Whats stabilizer?

My lab does agility so he is very used to walking ramps and doing the dog walk. So I put 2 plastic dog ramps, they are made for getting in and out of vehicles, in they have like a textured paint on them on the tops but smooth plastic then they have straps on them already to like strap on car...

Ok so I added the suggestions above 4 cups of muratic acid and four cups of 8.25% and let everything churn for about 5 hours. I know 3.75 cups were recommended but Maybe I did everything correctly here is what I got so far so let me know if you think this is correct or makes sense. PH 7.4...

Ok Cool thanks, so the TA is high caused my PH to rise, got it easy enough. From what I can make out I need to add Muratic Acid, which I have some and this will lower the PH and also the TA and it is probably going to raise the PH again until I get things stable? Will do the CYA test when I get...

So I have a new used pool. I got it because I have a labrador that loves to swim :shark:. It's a half hour drive and half hour hike to the closest place we can go and let him swim off leash. So I bought a used above ground pool. Nothing major 15ft round pool 4 ft deep. It has a single filter...
