Just to bring attention back to the two outstanding questions- even with the high Ph should I just assume I have an ammonia issue and attack it as such? And if yes, other than raising the CH and salt slightly (and the expense), can I do this by using 54% granulated cal-hypo? I have a digital...

Aqueos is "bulk...bleach distributors" (i.e. drums for commercial injection) and True Value isn't available at the store but for "special order". I appreciate the help. Let me know if you find any. For what it's worth, my theory is that the residential pool market Denver really didn't exist...

Maybe they should, but in Denver they don't. None of the pool stores that I've called and only Walmart of the big box stores have it (see comment above re: Walmart chlorine; I should also mention that Walmart keeps it outside with wild temp fluctuations here in Denver).

I'm near the Lakewood one but like I said, last year it was long past expired so I couldn't actually tell what level of FC rise I would get out of a gallon of it.

Wow, thanks for all the eyes on this! So after adding the 50 oz of acid yesterday the Ph was down to 7.8 this morning so I added 10 oz more acid going for 7.4. The FC still showed 0.5 and the CC 5.5. I should also add that we have a security cover which was closed since opening the pool on...

Hello again, We just opened our pool in CO for the 4th season and the chemicals seem to be at their worst. The company that opened our pool on Monday said the Ph was really high (not sure if/how they tested it) and put 64 oz of 20' muriatic acid in. They also put in 2 lbs of 54% cal-hypo...

Thx for this. I refreshed my testing knowledge and ran through everything again. The results are below but the only material change was to the salt (and I wanted to test it a second time but ran out of R-0718 so I'll leave that alone until the new vial comes next week). I'm attaching 5...

I'm on my third season with the pool and this summer has been a trial on my patience. The main indicator that there is an issue is that for the last two summers I've had white flakes showing up in the pool below the returns. It is coming from build-up on the SWG. I spray it off with a hose...
