    New plaster in existing pool

    I am having my pool replastered and the water line tile replaced due to damage from hurricane Laura. The pool companies I have received quotes from all want to seek high dollar chemical startup packs. I don’t want to use these chemicals as I have had great success maintaining my pool through TFP...

    Thinking of replacing my pump

    I currently have a 1hp Pentair Challenger pump for my 27,000 gallon pool. I’m starting to have some leaking issues and I rebuilt the impeller last year, so I’m thinking about replacing the pump with something more efficient to hopefully help on electrical bill. I was considering a VS pump, but...

    CH levels low. Should I be worried?

    Will do. My pH naturally climbs anyway so that won’t be a problem. Are there better options online for calcium chloride than at Lowe’s?

    CH levels low. Should I be worried?

    Fill water CH is 200. I do have to add water periodically. You want the TA of the file water?

    CH levels low. Should I be worried?

    Just tested my pool. Results are below. FC - 6.5 CC - 0.5 pH - 7.4 CH - 200 CYA - 30 My concern is the low CH level for my gun nite pool. Should I raise it to recommended levels on pool math calculator? If so, what is the best source to acquire calcium chloride? I would need 25lbs.

    Using Trichlor tabs to increase CYA

    I have a bunch of unused trichlor tabs that I was thinking of using to bump up my CYA (currently 30) and as a stop gap while I’m on vacation. Is there any reason this is a bad idea?

    Filter Issues

    Noticed something interesting about my filter this morning. Normal operating pressure is 15psi on the gauge. The pressure on it this morning was around 11psi. I noticed this because I figured it might be time to backwash. After backwashing my filter, the pressure came back up to 15psi. Is...

    Pool Stays Cloudy/Green

    Thanks for the advice. I will do that. I have not done the oclt yet. Will likely try it once the water isn’t crystal clear.
