Good to know. Thanks :)

We were told by a “pool “guy” that our pump should run 1 hour for every 10 degrees. I’m thinking we over run it but would like some expert feedback. Right now it’s at 10 hours overnight since our temps are now in the 100’s. First half of run is at high. Second half low speed.

Awesome thanks. I will look into them. Hubby thinks as long as pool is blue and clear we don’t need to do anything. Trying to get him on board is quite the task.

How would you calculate how long to do that process for an exchange? - - - Updated - - - Another question: I have a significant calcium line on my tiles. Tried the pumice stone and went through 4 of them with ought getting very far. I also tried muriatic acid diluted in a sprayer last night to...

I ordered the FAS-DPD per recommendations here,​ I did receive it but the lid came of the powder, needless to say they are sending me more. Will get it added

I have the Taylor K-2005. I will try the extended test instructions to see if I can get a better reading. Thanks, I am learning so much :D

Ok got it on the FC with high CYA level. I missed that part somehow in the pool school. Will add to get to the target range. We had a service that only used tabs for the last year and half. Guessing that’s how the CYA got out of control and I’m in Phoenix. Will having high CYA hurt anything if I...

As of today: FC- 5 CC- 0 PH - 7.0 TA -75 CH - 875 CYA - 100+ So I got my TA in check, Yay!! Should I be adding baking soda to raise my PH? I know I will have to do a drain at the end of the summer to start over with the CYA. Pool looks great and temp is about 84. I’m hoping I’m on the right...

Hubby smoked a brisket, floated in pool, still to cold to swim for me at 82. Went through 2 pumice stones cleaning about 3 feet of tile. Nice relaxing day.

Yikes. Typo on my end. I will fix my signature tomorrow. My pool is about 12,000 not 32,000 gallons

Thanks everyone. Ok I’m throwing the test strip out lol. I’ve been reading a lot and really like the pool math. All good stuff. So I did tests with my K2005 kit. I’ve ordered the FAS-DpD test kit. Couple of questions- my pool is pebble sheen. Is that plaster? Been reading on chlorine to use...

Hi all. We had our pool built in 2014 took care of it for the first 2 years. Hired a service last year and fired them last month. I am determined to take care of it on my own. The local pool service supply is a national chain and rip off, I refuse to go in there. Pool is chlorine about 32,000...
