I appreciate you taking the time and giving your thoughts. I lowered the SWG, added the baking soda, stabilizer I mentioned in the post. Now I will wait, and test it in a couple days. Then make small movements until I get it right. Thanks again, and happy new year!

Hello All and Happy New Year! I have my SWG running at 50% as I turned it down a week ago. My pool is now 4 months old and I still cannot get the chemicals right. My CH started around 2000, and I have driven that down with water replacement slowly but surely. I just added the following...

Thank you

I don't know anything about CSI. My pool temp is around 82 degrees. How much MA can I poor in to get my PH lower (weekly, daily, etc)

Hey, my signature has been filled out. Do you not see it? The PB didn't add any calcium at all. The same PB built my Mom's pool simultaneously, and they have even more CH. The PB explained that they have more due to the dark color of the pebble tec they chose (gray) I went with a standard...

Thank you, Neighbor!

Hello All, I fired two pool stores and have now bought the TF-100 XL w/ smart stir & PH Meter. I am hoping the signature I built tells you pool setup and equipment. I received my kit from TFTestKits today, and tested it for the first time. I am looking for advice as to the type of chemicals...

Hello from the Northeast area of Tampa, Florida. I am new to caring for a pool as we just finished a new build 3 months ago. I have been caring for the pool by going to local stores. I started with Pinch-a-Penny and was not satisfied, so I went to Leslie's and decided I needed to understand the...
