    Pool Chemicals

    As I remember reading it, high TC "interferes" with the PH test. So, get the FC below 10 before you test PH.

    Feeling slight electrical current in pool...bonding seems intact. Thoughts?

    To say this another way... Bonding brings all pieces of equipment to the same "Potential". Very important to understand that point. I've worked installing solar for a few years. (no longer). Just before any panels are installed, each piece of metal (each rail) is bonded to one another in an...

    Noisy bubbly returns

    Howdy... FWIW, I turned off the pump tonight to empty the basket strainer. Before I could open it up, I saw air bubbles entering from one of the cover's corners. Opened it and there was a tiny pebble mashed between the cover and gasket. That would certainly explain the bubbles I've been seeing...

    Crazy Pool Care Technique, Is This Real

    Both before and after pics are the same... just green, then blue water. The shadows and blades of grass are EXACTLY the same in both pics! I smell PhotoShop! Maybe it only works in Austin, TX... cause that's where the 3 reviews are all from.

    Call me crazy, but...

    My readings indicate CH is on the rise. I'm still under what's recomended. I guess I could switch to Sodium Hypo but the way my mind works, while the average guy sees 8.25%, 10% and 12.5% of chlorine... I see 91%, 90% and 87.5% water in the bottle! And it pains me to buy water at those prices...

    Call me crazy, but...

    Howdy. Two days before Memorial Day Weekend, I drained the pool completely. Kids had painted it two years earlier and did a terrible job at it... two different shades of blue, incomplete brush strokes, etc... Really didn't live up to its potential. During Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, I...
