Whoa!! The CYA is still over 200 after the diluted test. Time for a total drain I'd suspect.

Thanks! So basically, 50/50 (pool/tap) run the test and multiply results x2. Easy-peasy....

Hello once again! I had been using TFP for my new pool for the last 3 years, it has been flawless! I have since sold that house and purchased another one with an inground, poorly maintained, algae filled pool. I took all the required tests, however the CYA was off-the-charts! My question, before...

jblizzle, there's the test results above, what's your thoughts??

Yep, never thought of the pressure being reduced, Thanks.

OK, here's my test results..... FC 6 CC 0 CH 775 TA 70 CYA 30 (it was 50 all summer last season, don't know where it went?)

Yeah, the suction is no problem, I can get all the suction from floor drain rather than the skimmer. My question was if it's bad to use the pool pump with the in-floor cleaning system. Once the water line drops below the pop-ups on the stairs and shallow end, the jetted water (from pop-ups)...

I might add that I'm in AZ and our water here is very hard. The last time the pool was filled was 8/2015.

I'm going to drain my pool this weekend, jumped in it tonight and it feels chalky to me, I had a high calcium level last year so I assume this is the cause, all my levels had been fine throughout the winter and until now. I have an in-floor cleaning system and when running the pump these would...

Out here in the Southwest the first thing the developers do is build all walls/fencing, well the common walls anyway.

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but why shouldn't we store the bleach and MA together?

It's been a while since I've posted anything on the site, however I'm still lurking just about every other day! I'm so happy that I'm using this method; I still can't believe how easy it is to maintain my pool. I own a barber shop and the amount of pool owners I talk to that can't keep their...

If I use a solar cover at night will it affect the skimmer, or if I'm using the solar cover should I just use the main drain while the pump is on? Logic tells me to use the main drain only....

Wow, I just ran the numbers in pool math.... 1 chlorine tab will increase the FC by 5 and the CYA by 3! I have 8 tabs on hand so that will be perfect to get my CYA up to 50.

Thanks guys.
