I'm having trouble finding this information via search of in Pool School. I struggle a bit in the summer (Central FL, screened in 8000g plaster pool) to keep on top of my sanitizing. we have a solar heated pool and my wife likes it over 90F. We have compromised on around 86-87, higher and I just...

I've been a bit more lax than I should have been with pH over the last year or so (it'd be 7.8+ on the regular), not getting too high on the CSI but overall probably an average higher than it should have been (or lower, I can't recall -- not usually out of range but close). My blue tinted...

Filled pool last year after refinishing to pebble and got CYA to around 50 (overshot some, really wanted 40). This spring I notice the pool is consuming chlorine a lot faster than I expect. Test the water and there's basically no CYA at all. Local pool store confirmed the numbers. I don't use...

I've searched the forum and found lots of discussions about this topic but none has led me to success. Sorry if I'm missing the salient point of these posts but let me say what's going on: We had our pool resurfaced with pebble and some time after that was all started back up, I went to turn on...

Hey TFP, this may be a long post so I apologize in advance. There will be questions at the end :) We had our pool resurfaced about 45 days ago with StoneScapes pebble/glass. Also did waterline tile at the same time with 1" glass tiles. It looks amazing and the contractor did a pretty good job...

Hi folks, My water looks amazing now thanks to what I have learned here. Today's readings just before adding liquid Cl: FC 5.5 pH 7.8 TA 90 CH 150 CYA 45 (after *four* water replacements, ugh!) So my CSI according to poolMath is around 0.09 which is in range. But CH seems like it shouldn't be...

Hello forum. First, let me say THANK YOU to all of you for this awesome repository of knowledge. In the few days I've been reading posts as well as perusing the Pool School, I have learned more than the cumulative 3 years I've been maintaining my pool. Also, local pool stores are frustratingly...
