Gotcha - I’ll give it another go

I really need to get out there and give this another try. I've tried a few times before and I couldn't get the edge to budge at ALL but perhaps I should just try to apply some more force. Thanks all for your help!

oh my - is it really that simple? I should have asked a long time ago lol.

We moved into this house three summers ago now, pool is now 5 years old, but even the first summer we were here we'd noted the pool liner was pulling out along the edges in a few areas (four different places). It's largely stable over the time we've been here but I never thought to consider if...

oh, I need to update my sig to show I have an SWG now - doing that now.

I don't have the exact info on what specifically they're using but it's a phosphate chemical that coats the iron to keep it from oxidizing and thus staining stuff. It's not technically removing the iron so I should have said that better! However, it does say that it's safe for pools. I'm just...

Thanks for the reply - yes, it would be a lot to fill the whole pool. Fortunately, we never empty it so it's just topping off during hot/dry weather and in the spring when reopening. Tried using spigot water once and never again - pool was rusty for weeks until I could get it all filtered out...

We have high iron content in our well water. Currently, when needing to add water to the pool, I run a hose from a sink in the garage that is post-reverse-osmosis system and filters out the rust but we're having irrigation installed and putting in a treatment system to remove the rust from the...

Thank you @Newdude, I did find that, I was just bringing it up (again) since it seems that folks are still struggling with finding a link directly to it. But I'm also seeing there have been several posts about it in the past several months so glad to know the team is working on it!

That logic does make sense. When all the links referring to the chart don't show a chart, it could create some frustration though. Would it be difficult to add a link to the actual chart somewhere on that page in addition to the calculator? I've finally found it on the "further reading" page...

My apologies if this has been explained somewhere but it seems that the CYA/chlorine chart has been... misplaced... on TFP. There is an old post that embeds the chart in a response but when one searches the site and visits the links that say they are leading to the chart, it lands on "free...

Yeah, it’s close enough to be helpful. I go by the Sense for the daily pH and chlorine and the Taylor once a week for the rest

Just thought I'd chime in too since I'm very interested in this discussion. I have the S1 and find it helpful for the daily testing, for sure (then test weekly with my Taylor kit). Went to get another pack of cartridges during their 20% sale this weekend and noticed the S2 kit. Found it VERY odd...

agreed in concept but from now on I'm only going to put in softened RO water so I don't have to relive this nightmare again :)
