    Way out of bounds and not sure where to start (5PH?)

    Today FC 17 CC 1 PH 7.0-7.2 TA 80 CYA 120 These were after the pool was shocked last night. Although I never got the FC up to 45 shock levels like recommended, he had never shocked the pool so the least I could do was bring it up to where the water was close to sanitized levels. Last night...

    No A/C or heater in his pool. Nor did he have any algae problem. I think the high PH must have caused the etching of the liner after a year of exposure.

    Way out of bounds and not sure where to start (5PH?)

    Well, I have managed to bring the PH up with a combination of Borax(4lb) and Baking Soda (6lb). However, it appears the acidity has managed to destroy his pool liner. The pool is only 2 years old and the liner feels like 150 grit sand paper. The skimmer basket is falling to pieces too. The...

    Way out of bounds and not sure where to start (5PH?)

    Hey thanks for the warm welcomes over here! Fortunately since I use the BBB system I never have any problems so you guys don't see much of me. I bought a liquidator last year and the pool has been less trouble than ever before. :-D Waterbear, you must have ESP of some sort. He does have a...

    HAHAHAH! Yep, I emailed back and forth with Ben trying to get registered and after the 4th attempt it finally happened. And again he shut down the new registrations. Its kinda funny to see my name in that spot for so long. Anyway, I know the pucks have caused all of this but what is so far...

    I just tested a friends pool and don't know what I should work on 1st. He uses HTH Dual action pucks (Trichloro-s-Triazinetrione with copper) for chlorine. I have the Taylor K2006 test kit. FC 0 CC 0 PH 5 or so (I had to test with my aquarium kit to verify this low) TA 0 (best I can tell...

    How much CYA per 10K gallons per Tri-Chlor Puck?

    I have seen posts about how using tri-chlor pucks adds CYA to the water. What I am unclear of is how much CYA I can expect each puck add to the water. If the 3" pucks are 45% available chlorine, what would the approximate PPM per puck increase be per 10K gallons? My CYA reagents are so old they...

    Carboy Chlorine in Austin, TX area?

    I too have been looking and found nothing but 55 gallon drums. I have asked Austin Scientific if they could start stocking the car boys and have not gotten a call back. Now since I see there are a few of us interested, maybe they'll have a little more inclination to get them for us. I'll let...
