I'll get right on it. Thanks for the help.

I thhink Im going to use a minivac to suck up the undissolved stuff from the spa floor and see if it helps.

I didn't use a sock, I tried dissolving it in hot water but it didn't dissolve enough. So, it went in mostly undissolved.

I added 31 oz of stabilizer. I've got what looks like possibly un dissolved stabilizer on the floor of my spa. My CA level is at 60and pool math app says I'm already over what I need.

I cleaned my filter and used perlite in my 60 sq ft pentair DE filter, emptied and refilled pool. I added granular stabilizer and used liquid chlorine in it. Here are today's readings . My water has been cloudy since I did all this. ------------------------------------------ Maintenance...

I just changed out the water in our pool and cleaned and recharged the DE filter with Perlite media. How do I show my water readings here? Todays reading: Home Pool ------------------------------------------ Build Type: Plaster Volume: 7780 gallons...

Using poolmath app, and free chlorine level suggested went fromm 4 to 8. What gives? This is within one day, no use of the pool.

I recently installed a soft water system to the house and plan on tapping into the cold line under kitchen sink and then connecting it to the pool fill line. Hopefully it wont cost me too much extra in salt to utilize the soft water for the pool. Thank you.

We had our pool replastered about 3 months ago. We are in Lake Havasu City, Az and the water here is very hard. I test our water almost every day with the kit and use liquid chlorine along with muriatic acid. I input readings into Pool Math app. Pool constantly needs acid along with the...

I read further on the CYA, I did not know that it degrades, thought it just kept adding up while using the Trichlor tabs. How often should I test the CYA level?

OK, that sounds good to me, Looks like Ill have to do some plumbing under our kitchen sink to access cold soft water line and connect it to the pool fill line. Thanks Marty, appreciate the help.

I see in your about you section that you are using softened water, is that a good idea? We have very hard water here in Lake Havasu City, Az. Sorry I'm asking so many questions.

Ok, got it, thanks. The pump is going to run 24-7 for the first 3 days.

As to trichlor tabs, I think the prior owner had used them and the level was so high it took a lot of chlorine to get free chlorine high enough. Using liquid bleach now.
