I do my testing in Utility room, so I will change my bulbs to match the Daylight, Thanks Bryan

I just ordered that one also after looking at it. 🫣

That sounds fun!! Even in my 40’s it’s fun to geek out with my pool stuff for sure.

That was my thought also. Not sure why they discontinued the stand. Maybe that $700 price kept people at bay.

I really like the look and functionality of the Taylor Test Station. It comes with a very pricey cost around $1,000. Of course I have all the stuff in the picture except the actual test station and light. Does any other company make something similar to this? Or my best bet is just to make...

How long does the propane tank last? Do you run it all the time or just at night? Thanks

we live in the Country in South Central Louisiana. we dont spray anything in our yard for mosquitos because of pets, we like to walk barefoot etc... We use something called Mosquito Eradicator. It works extremely well and you hang them around the property. They have how to's, as far as...

I I have been using the ones at sunplay made by bioguard they are $16.00 for 5 socks. What are you using that you are able to get them at such a great price??? Thanks Bryan

i have a variable speed pump that i run at 60% it always has air in the top. If i put the pump on 100% all the air goes away. If i put it back on 60% i will have air. as @duraleigh said its normal at low speeds. At least for me it happens this way also.

I have a Water Softener at my house and it does reduce the level of calcium of my fill water. Bryan Batts

I let my SWG run the whole time my pump is running. I just lower the Percentage to make the right amount of chlorine. so i have it set on 15% like Hootz does. Like Hootz once I got my CYA up 70-80 my chlorine consumption was reduced.

Make sure you refer to the Recommended Levels. Everything looks okay just need to bring your CYA up to at least 70 for SWG pools. I Printed out that recommended levels list and i keep it close by for reference. Yea I usually knock my PH down to 7.4-7.5 when it takes three drops of acid demand...

It could be that your PH is a little higher then 8.0 I plugged in your information and to go from 8.0 to 7.6 would be 27 ounces MA 31.45% if you go from 8.0 to 7.4 it would be 46 ounces MA 31.45%. but if its higher then 8.0 that number may increase. I see you have a spa, so you may be...

I use baking soda to raise TA when I need to which has only happened twice in two years. I keep my TA at 80. I have a SWG and Fiberglass pool.
