Pretty much a new guy to the inground pool world. Renovation starts this week.

Most of the tests require stirring to mix ingredients. People without speedstirs have to swirl the containers to mix them. Manual swirling can cause spills and mixed results (haha, pun) depending on how thoroughly everything is mixed.

I've seen claims here that a speedstir is more handy than pockets on pants! LOL

Just so its in my thread, here is the info right from my pb on what they want the levels at. Should i start stocking up on liquid bleach now?

 

[Mical718]

Just ordered the speed stir and tf100 kit.

It looks like you should get Muriatic acid to start with instead of bleach.

Good job on the kit and stirrer!

Are you planning on asking your PB if YOUR test will count for his warranty. I notice that he says "pool store test". I just wanted to throw this out there so you do not mess up the warranty. Better safe than sorry.

Just found this forum. Please keep the pics coming. A&S is doing a full renovation on a pool at the house we just purchased in Maryland. They are supposed to start sometime next month. I am also going to order the recommended test kit. Thx!

Okay what is this little pill in the speed stir package? I don't understand the instructions for the speed stir.

Pool is drained, tile and coping removed. They are due back wednesday to remove decking.

The little pill is what "stirs" the mixture. It is VERY important so do not lose it!

Is this a good muriatic acid to use they sell at home depot...

 

[pooldv]

As long as it is 31.45% it is fine. If it isn't then they have it in the pool section.

Decking was removed last week. More drone photos.

That drone picture thing is waayyy cool. Attn: Everyone building a pool, drone photos is the new normal.

That acid is the half strength stuff. Costs the same as the full strength stuff, but is less effective since it is diluted. They should also carry the full strength stuff. It will say 31.45%. If they don't have it, check a hardware store.

Thanks for the helpful info.

Plumbers did all the plumbing today. New bottom drain up to code with a double pot, core drilled and installed two new returns and pool cleaner line. All new pvc back to my equipment. So far i am very impressed with anthony & sylvans subs. They have not disappointed me yet.

I love the drone views! Such a good way to see everything!

[Mical718]

All prepped and ready for plaster tommorow.

You do have a good test kit already???? If not order one yesterday. If so play with your fill water to find your PH and TA.
