Yeah. When I measure pH at around 8, I try to knock it down to 7.2. I added the recommended amount of MA this morning to bring it down to 7.2 but wasn’t able to test until 6 hours later. Measured level was around 7.5. Would pH have gone up by 0.3 in that time? @jimbethesda, Pool is new. It was...

Thank you ajw22 and Newdude. I somehow missed the "test is over when the next drop makes no difference in color" part when reading through all the Pool School articles but that makes perfect sense. I'll heed that advice from now on. I did confirm my Borates were 0 with some test strips. I've...

I’m using the TF Test Kit Pro Salt. I arrived at 75 because the 7th drop was a dull red and the 8th made it bright red. I figured I needed the split the difference. Both were red but one was more red

I was playing around with Pool Math tonight and noticed a discrepancy that I couldn't figure out. When I go to the "Effects of Adding" section and ask it the effects of adding 32 oz of 31.45% Muriatic Acid to my 18,875 gallon pool, it says pH will be lowered by 0.4. When I go to the main...

After getting so frustrated by the artificial limitations of the EasyTouch PSL4, I tried this at 11:30 tonight. At first I tried to de-solder the J23 jumper but eventually resorted to snipping it. I reset the controller outside and was at first mortified that it didn't work and I was seeing...

Thank you ajw22. I will take some pics in the daytime. Reading that other post above, I definitely have similar symptoms. I am able to eliminate the cold water entering the spa floor return by completely turning off the spa return valve (aka fountain) OR turning off the pool return and tanning...

Well crud. Just found post that sounds like same issue. Sorry y’all https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/cold-water-in-spa.268410/

This is my first post but I’ve been lurking for a couple of months. TFP is such an amazing resource! I ran my spa for the first time and while everything seemed to be operating as it should, I noticed a small amount of cold water (56 degrees) coming up through the spa return in the floor. That...

Howdy y'all! I'm new to the forums and soon to be a new pool owner (in-ground salt). Our family lives about an hour east of Dallas in Greenville, TX. When I agreed with my wife to finally get a pool, I told her she would have to the be pool boy and I'll be the pool manager. I'm making my way...
