    Rehab or Infill??

    As a non-invested third party I would love to see the progress pictures getting this to a TFP-level pool. Do you have any idea if the mechanicals work?

    Maintaining

    I've completed my SLAM and my pool numbers are pretty much where I want them. The pool is clear and I'm super happy! So, what now? Is there a rule of thumb for maintaining my prescribed level of FC? Should I adding a little bleach every day....a moderate amount every couple days? Or - do I...

    Increasing TA

    Ok - great! Pool is nice and clear and I'm super happy. I do have a question about maintaining post-SLAM which I'll start in a separate thread.

    Increasing TA

    It's only a bit on the low side. I test it at 50, while my prescribed range is 70-90.

    Increasing TA

    According to PoolMath, I need about 9lbs of baking soda to increase my 27k pool TA by 20 points. Does that sound right? Where can I get baking soda in that amount? A big box store? Any specific method to adding it? Or the standard: dump it into the deep end of the pool?

    First "Real" Test of the Season #'s - Cloudy Pool

    Well, the labels on the sight glass are in increments of 10, but they're spaced far enough apart that it's not too difficult to interpolate the ones digit. I know all the FC/shock numbers are based off of 10's, so I just round as it's appropriate.

    First "Real" Test of the Season #'s - Cloudy Pool

    Got home to a less cloudy pool. On the way! First chance I got to check the numbers was last night: FC: 0 pH: 7.6 TA: 50 CH 270 CYA: 41 (had rain while gone) We can see to the bottom at the middle (about 5') of the pool now, which is a huge step in the right direction. I didn't leave...

    First "Real" Test of the Season #'s - Cloudy Pool

    I just realized....I am leaving for the weekend (wedding) tomorrow afternoon. I imagine I should wait to start the SLAM until I return? I can add the CH, at least.

    First "Real" Test of the Season #'s - Cloudy Pool

    Thanks! Should I get the CH levels to where they need to be before the SLAM? Or, can I throw in the bleach and calcium chloride together? I'll take a picture once I get home!

    Pool Math........The App

    I'm not sure if this has been noted or not - but on my phone, I am not able to enter ".0" following any numbers. The "0" is treated as a delete key and backspaces over the "." This happens on all input fields (for pool readings). I have a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 running Android 7.0

    Testing for CYA with Taylor K2006 not registering

    I'm new but I can say pretty confidently that your CYA is most likely just that low. Buy some CYA power/granules from the store and put them in some filter socks in your skimmer. It took about 5-6 lbs for me to go from 0ish CYA to 50.

    First "Real" Test of the Season #'s - Cloudy Pool

    So here's my first full test after having to order some refill reagents: FC: 4.0 pH: 7.8 TA: 50 CH: 110 CYA: ~55 My pool was a green monster when I opened it...we had a bunch of leaves and stuff leftover on the bottom because we closed SUPER late and couldn't get everything out. The pool...

    Handy Chart for Adjusting?

    Thanks all!

    Handy Chart for Adjusting?

    I was curious if there was a reference chart for what to add in order to adjust certain levels? Like....increase pH - do this; decrease pH - do this. There are a couple around the interwebs, but I was curious if there was a TFP-approved visual aid. Thanks!

    Out of R-0013 - Strips?

    Unfortunately, I don't; but I expect it was on the lower side. I think that's enough for me to start from though. Thanks for the idea. I've got Amazon Prime, but the quickest they could promise delivery was the 31st. I think I'll just SWAG it and adjust once juice gets here.
