    Pool Calculator website down?

    Good Afternoon, I just tested my water and need to add some acid, but I can't get the pool calculator website to come up. Is anyone else having the same problem?

    Stupid Assumption

    No, don't have a salt water chlorine generator. I usually have to add muratic acid to get the TA down. We have really hard water here and with it being such a small pool, I usually have to add water several times over the summer. Lots of kids splashing it out, too! Thanks so much. I love...

    I took the cover off and got the new sand filter set up. I had to set the filter aways from the pool so I hard plumbed halfway to the pool and then flex the rest of the way. It leaks in some places, which is probably a good thing with my test numbers. When I took the cover off and started the...

    Has this happened to anyone else with Intex pool...

    Hi from Urbana, MO

    Hi everyone. I have a 15' metal frame Intex. This will be our 4th summer using this pool. When the kids were little, my husband dug out a 16' square in the back yard, we lined it, put landscaping timbers and several trips to the quarry for silica sand, we had a huge sandbox. Several years...
