    white crystals forming on ladder, HELP!!!!

    How about your calcium hardness levels? I suggest you getting that tested somehow.

    First time doing own pool test

    The pH being high will cause eye and skin irritation. Our eyes and skin membranes are between 7.3 and 7.5 Combined chlorine could have been the cause as well. As cowboycasey said, you might consider finishing the slam to lower that combined chlorine, your fc will drop a couple days after that.

    New pool owner - couple of questions

    To measure your gallons you do Length x width x average depth x 7.48 As far as the hot tub goes it really depends on your pH levels and if they normally run high or low. If they run highnormally, having the overflow could raise it even higher, if its normally low, the overflow may help raise...

    Cloudy water with perfect numbers

    Assuming that your filter is working correctly. Its worth a look.

    Total Dissolved Solids testing

    I found an older post here on TFP answering my questions. Thanks guys. Another tactic used by pool stores I see.

    Total Dissolved Solids testing

    Even with small pools in Florida with no backwashing, a lot of evaporation, and where balancing was avoided? There has to be a point where solids will no longer dissolve and chemicals will be ineffective or at least inefficient, no? I know it is the 12.1 constant in the Saturation Index...

    Total Dissolved Solids testing

    Most reliable test for Total Dissolved Solids? At what point do we concern ourselves with TDS levels?

    Almost there - iron stains

    Total alkalinity, calcium hardness, pH levels?

    Should I use recirculate while putting DE in my sand filter?

    Im not seeing test results. Do you test your own water? Specifically total alkalinity and calcium hardness.

    I hope I found something to help us all

    Came across a bulk supplier for sodium carbonate and bicarbonate. Has anyone used them? Sodium Carbonate Supplier | Soda Ash Direct, Denver, CO

    Testing pH and TC After Rain

    Always make sure to take the sample from at least 12 inches down as well. Best of luck You're on the right site for any issue you come across.

    Just got my TF-100 test kit, results:

    It is used for acid washing, etching concrete. They will know it by Muriatic Acid though.

    Too much BORAX!

    Im not seeing a calcium hardness reading for you, did you leave it out?

    Changing from Chlorine to Salt

    Your pH tends to climb a little Just have to check it like any other pool. There is also a section dedicated to SWG that you'll find helpful. Hayward, PoolPilot are 2 good manufacturers for Salt water generators. You're on the right site. Best of luck
