Thanks....I run it quite frequently. It is probably On more than it is Off. :D

We had a few wild weather days this past week(for this time of the year in northern Utah) High winds, some rain....maybe a half-inch all week. With as dry as it has been, the pool got some dust along with quite a few leaves (the skimmer took care of the larger items. I have vaccumed twice...

Re: Deck is finally started Looks nice...now lurking. :)

Okay, all my zip chlor is gone. I tested my CYA and it still doesnt show up to 30 on my HTH kit. The dot was getting cloudy but still visible. It has to be close to that though. OTO chlorine drops are still showing anywhere from 1 to 3 at the end of the sunny day. So that leads me to...

Just back fromt he pool store. Looks like my numbers are coming in line. Yes they do use the strip thing, some BioGuard program. So I will still back it up with my HTH kit for sure. TC 2.5 FC 2.5 PH 8.0 TA 127 So once I verify PH, I will add some more Muriatic Acid. The guy at the pool...

Yes, Thanks. I usually try to shoot for half as bad. I do have the HTH 6 way test kit. My PH test was hard to tell. My BEST guess was 7.8, but it definately could have been higher. That is why I took it to the pool store. Well that, and to test the CYA, but because of the PH.... :blah...

Took water to the pool store to have them test it today. And stopped by Home Depot for some Muriatic Acid on the way home. If that tells ya what they found. :) 8.8 on the PH. I had the pool covered with that ridiculous Intex cover today because I discovered that it heated the water up pretty...

Yeah, I'll probably do that. I only have till MAYBE the first week in September left, so I dont want to throw too much more money at it, but I look at it as good practice for next year. :) Thanks again. I will update this thread tomorrow with current measurements to make sure I am moving in...

My wife bought this light the other day. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Intex-LED-Pool-Wall-Light/13038093 I am pretty impressed with it. It really lights up nice. Not super bright on the other side of the pool, but it is a real nice shade of blue all over the pool. Not as bright as that picture...

Thank you so much for the reply...I bought 2 pounds. I put 11 more ounces in it tonight. Looks like I will need more. :? Still looks great. Judging by what you said, It may be a little light on the dosage, but I was so afraid of over doing it on the CYA since I couldn't find the...

OKay all, My pool finished filling yesterday. I went to the pool store to get some dichlor and ended up with Zip Chlor concentrate. Here is a link to the instructions incase you are unfamiliar with it. http://www.proteampoolcare.com/san_zipchlor.htm It seems they call for alot less of that than...

I too was pool stored into the Zip Chlor. Any idea how much it takes get the CYA up to levels we need? Being that my season is down to a few weeks to a month at best, I bought the HTH test kit instead of the TF100. With that said, I only have 2 tests for CYA and the pool store is an...

so, what is the proper method the prefered method to apply HTH Stabilzer. Dissolve in bucket? Put in skimmer? If it is in skimmer, do I put it in a sock, or stockings or something? Or put it in a sock by the return? I have seen other posts where people are trying to vacuum up the un...

Oh,,,I thought they were the same...does it add CYA the same as Dichlor? Or should I just find some dichlor? How should I apply it? If I dont find Dichlor I assume I use the HTH Stabilizer as per the pool calculator instructions? Which for 13000 gal, assuming I am at zero and try to get to...

The "first four days" section in the pool school mentions to add the Dichlor to a bucket, let it dissolve and pour it in. In alot of other threads they mention the sock method. I, more than likely, will be using the HTH Stabilizer from Wally World. Which method should I use? at 1 oz per 500...
