    Need Help afer draining multiple times to lower CYA.

    These are my new numbers. Should I add the Washing Soda now or will it throw my PH and TA more out of wack? Also should I go ahead and turn on my SWG since adding the bleach or wait until it's regular schedule tomorrow/ tonight? Feeling a bit overwhelmed! New Numbers: FC-3 PH-7.5 TA-40 TH-200...

    Need Help afer draining multiple times to lower CYA.

    The 30-50 was prior to refilling. Before the first refill I was registering 100 according to pool store testing. I was giving the water some time to circulate before retesting. Will test and repost. Thank you.

    Intex Pump Noise

    After two failed attempts (two leaky pools), now have a spanking new Pro-Series. With all the rain here it's been impossible to get anything done until this evening. I altered an original pump from one of the other pools (same style) to use my Intex hoses. Very slight leak from one of the...

    New Pool Setup Help

    Nice and level. I got in and pushed all the wrinkles that would move outward. Some of the wrinkles are in the pool permanently. Not sure the cause. Walked around pool after the rain no leaking water seen. It's been raining for days here so I'm not surprised there was moisture in the sand. Can...

    Intex Easy Set 18X48 Top Ring Leaking Air

    That's not going to work to large of an area and it's too dark to really see. As you said that's the price of "FREE". Let me know if any suggestions!

    Intex Easy Set 18X48 Top Ring Leaking Air

    There's only about 1 1/2 inch of water in it so I turned it off. Lifted the corner and the wet spot was limited to a small section. Could I maybe rub a small amount of bubbles on it and use the inflator to see if I get any bubbles?
