    What is "THE DEFINATIVE" best vacuum head for vinyl liner

    Hey, thanks again TFP for all the help. I just opened my pool. I was a new BBB guy as of last year. I didn't really check on the pool over our heavy snow winter. It is a bit green, but some SLAM should help with that. I'm about to go to Menards and buy the BOGO 12% for 2 bucks a gallon. I am...

    Lowering TA

    Yep, it's working now. I took yesterday off from the routine, but my alkalinity is down to 140. I just put some acid in and The aerator back on. I'm thinking maybe one or two more cycles hopefully. Pool still looks great, crappy weather though. Happy Memorial Day.

    Lowering TA

    Here's the pictures of the aerator. It's pretty solid. Filter gauge is showing 25 psi with that on, normal operating without it is 18. So it's got some steam behind it. Dunno if that would cause the ph to rise from 7.0 to 8.0 so rapidly, as in a matter of hours. Let me know what you guys think....
