Unfortunately, not much rain here. But, will keep in mind the next time there is a storm.

Thanks for that info. I will check both HD and lowes.

Thanks Bperry. Good to know

Thanks Chris. I will bring TA down and see how things pan out. Unfortunately, changing plumbing is not an option at this time.

Thanks Texas splash. I thought ideal TA is between 100-120. I trust the recommendations, and I will keep the ph at 7.2 till TA comes down to 50-60. Haha, always hoping for rainfall here in SD.

Salt and borates became active for logging Should I consider adding boric acid? I do have 50lbs sitting in my garage.

Turned on CSI. it is at 0.65.

I will check home Depot for muriatic acid. Though the home has water softener, I do not think the water going to pool is softened. If adding softened water is not an option, what could be an alternative?

Hi Mdragger88, Should I not be concerned about the high calcium hardness? What is recommended for that?

Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their pool this summer. Update on my pool. The pool, I think, is doing well. I have not had any issues with algae growth. Now, I am learning to control the other parameters. I have been testing water regularly and I notice few parameters...

Thanks Chris. Appreciate all your help. Cheers

Indeed. My kids are already enjoying the pool.

Update. Pool is algae free so far. I am trying to maintain FC between 9 and 11. Thanks for all the guidance. The MX6 with the scrubber turbine is working great. The only issue is the hose gets stuck around the vertical zodiac leaf canister, and has to be manually untangled. I have to figure...

Got it. Thanks IceShadow.

If I maintain at 11 ppm FC, how do I check for ph? My understanding is ph reading isnot accurate above 10 ppm FC.
