We had a cold front come in it was in the 70's earlier this week and pH was 8.4 so i added a gallon of MA. Ah, Yeah i can turn off the bubblers but i can't do anything about the spa spillover. If the pool pumps are on, it goes through the hot tub and spills over. The only time the spillway...

What is an ET?

I have always had CH around 400. I am constantly battling rising pH (we have a hot tub with a waterfall and two bubblers). Just trying to get my pool ready and ran my usual barrage of tests and decided to test my fill water. Surprisingly my fill water tested CH at like 50!!!!! How can the CH...

Never that i can recall. We had a bad algae issue last year (i have since learned that the SWG doesn't work when water temp is too low lol). But when i shocked then and cleared up the algae it was all with jugs of liquid bleach.

I'm not really sure why they are that low. I added a ton of boxes of borax last year but i'm not really worried about the borates now as i have read i should get all of my other chemistry in order before correcting borates since it may make ph management more difficult. also if i need to...

I am constantly battling my water chemicals and I understand that rising pH is just something you have to deal with, but I am having some strange issues that I am not sure how to deal with. First of all my pool is very clear, not cloudy at all and no sign of algae or anything with regard to...

I got the part from Amazon for $50 and it’s been working perfect for two weeks so far

Same problem here.....let me know what you guys find!

Should I start a new thread to get help with the calcium?
