I'll try this, thanks

Should I care that my alkalinity is always high, 120-140? but my CSI is in a good range. We have well water that is very alkaline. I am adding 5cups of muriatic acid when my ph gets back up to 78, which is usually on day 3. I can get my alkalinity down to 80 or 90, but it usually takes weeks of...

Thank for the help. I will add more chlorine tablets to raise my CYA a bit more. "Let pH rise to 8.0, dose to lower to 7.2-7.4 and aerate to get pH back to 8.0 - rinse,repeat to help lower TA. Shoot for a TA of 60-ish, which will slow rate of pH rise. With your highTA fill water, it will take...

I used a new bag of clorox calcium hardness 4lb, no chlorine loss, but also no calcium increase... lost $11. Today I added approximately 7.5lb of Leslie calcium hardness I found in my shed. It's been there for several years. I haven't checked my calcium yet, but my chlorine is usually 3.5 every...

I will check this🤞

Thanks for the info. We are on well water with our CAL @ 75 and AlK is 320, so refill could be contributing. I just don't think that much could be lost with evaporation, but I haven't checked the CAL in a long while. The spring rains could have lowered it some and the Power Powder plus could...

Calcium level of 250 ok then?

My alkalinity was 80-90 and fairly stable until July. I add at least 5c of MA weekly, my ph is usually 78-80before adding. Then in July due to the fact of adding 12-16c of chlorine daily with still low FC the next evening, I decided to add a bag of Power Powder plus, which took days to dissolve...

is this what you need? 18,880 gal, plaster, 2.0 hp variable speed pump, 4 cartridge filter, 3900 sport polaris cleaner, Jandy pro series JE heat pump FTW, TX . pool in full sun

Moved from here. Hello! I am having the same issue. I have been using liquid Chlorine for 2 years now, no pucks, have had no algae (yay!!! use to be weekly due to too high CYA and listening to Leslie's routine $$$) only had to slam once, but I feel like I am still doing something wrong with...
