Yes. Thanks. I use a skimmer sock to help

Thanks for the replies. It could be the pollen I suppose. Getting tons of it. But do not recall this issue in the past. Using pool shock from Menards- same as last year. My ph is very stable, alkalinity 80, borates 50 CYA st 50 etc. AND the pool is crystal clear. I hate wasting chlorine.

Never have algae problem. This year CC always at 1.0. No overnight chlorine loss. Pool is crystal clear( use borates). Reagent for CC is almost out. Is it possible the reagent is just old? I leave it inside and it’s only about a year old. When I put drops in it just gradually turns my water...

Curious if there are any other thoughts?

Has a burn smell and white, hard, plastic seems to have fallen off in a clump. Will try and post a picture. It was making sound like rocks were in it for about 24 hours, then stopped. It now sounds normal but the smell and the heat aren’t. I’ll try and post a pic. Thank you - - - Updated - - -

I appreciate the reply. Was starting to wonder. A respectable pool installer said they wouldn't come out. They aren't too bad so I am going to live with it this year. The cause was fixed at least.

16x32 Sport Pool. New liner 24 months ago. Discovered an issue that threw tons of rainwater under the pool resulting a 8-10 wrinkles at the end of last pool season. I corrected the drainage and even lowered to water to a level that would have guaranteed either a floating liner or 1000...

I always add bleach right before bed. No issues at average FC at 7-8 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

boric | Duda Diesel Alternative Energy, Chemicals & Industrial Supply Store Granules are best- but make sure PH is in line before introducing. Yes, it sounds as if you added the Acid correctly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The borage test kit I used was Lamotte. 50 tests on Amazon are $13 approx. You can purchase boric acid from Duda Diesel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine always drifted up. Once my TA and PH was in line the borates kept them stable. Last year I had to add MA all the time. Not this year however. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't really read your PH levels but if it's 8.0 then just add Muriatic Acid in small intervals testing every 30 minutes. You will need more MA than usual but it's not that bad. Borates do not ruin anything- or cause problems below 100 PPM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think you need to adjust PH to where you want it before Borates. Borates stabilize PH making it harder to move after introduced into the pool. I had low PH, added Borates, then it took a little more Borax to increase PH. I bought a borate test kit in Amazon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I put 20 ounces in a sock, sat it in the skimmer, then proceeded to squeeze the sock for 5-10 minutes until the cya was completely dissolved. I then noticed my pumps psi went up 2 PSI. Is this okay? Since it was dissolved (milky) I don't know why my pressure went up. Thoughts?
