    Storing Reagents and Cleaning Test Tubes

    Hi All, I could have sworn I saw this on the forum somewhere, but my search skills have failed me over the past 30 minutes. My apologies for the duplicate post. My pool is closed for the winter, so I am about to put all the "pool stuff" away. I was going to store the Taylor Kit in my basement...

    Pool Cover

    So, I keep reading about how I should cover the pool heater (or not cover)...i get not covering all the way down for the mice, but now I'm worried about covering that LCD panel and containing moisture. I already replaced the panel just after 3 months of use. I was thinking of wrapping the...

    Pool Cover

    Finally closed the pool and had a reasonable company charge what is now a reasonable price ~6k. I was a little shocked to hear that they didnt use any antifreeze after they blew out all the lines. I am not even sure they used any chemiclas, so I am going to double check that with them. They did...

    Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm 333K BTU SR333NA LCD Display

    Hello, About a week or two ago my pool heater LCD display does not come on when I press any of the buttons on the panel. I am reaching out to Pentair and my pool builder as it is still under warranty. However, I want to see if there is something I am missing that maybe I can easily do myself. I...

    Thanks for this! It looks like I just need to make sure to get the R-0004 when I reorder since I have Taylor K-2006C-SALT kit.

    Rate My Chemicals

    I guess I mean, should I be aiming for TA of 80 or higher? I see the ideal range for TA for a vinyl pool with a SWCG is 60-80, but I guess I want to confirm that is TA and not "corrected" TA. I have also read ranges of 50-90, whixh seem to include acceptable minimums and maximums. Laslty, I have...

    I wanted to share some comparisons with my Taylor test kit to Leslie and the huge differences. I have to admit I recently added Calcium Chloride (Snow Joe Melt) and CYA over the past couple of days, so I can only assume that is why I am seeing a spike in FC and Salt from 9/1 to 9/3. However, is...
