    onBalance and NPC Plaster Guidelines

    I've not seen the NPC manual but most instruction articles I've read all say "immediately", which I think just gets repeated over and over. OTOH, I've read articles that say you're not supposed to wait DAYS to fill the pool because that would damage the plaster. So I think it boils down to the...

    New Fill Water Very Green - What To Do?

    Fill completed last night about 1am. That was fun. Filter on. Water a little less green. Chem test this morning produced this result... TA = 430 CH = 70 pH = 7.9, lowering to 7.6 Have started adding calcium chloride but don't have near enough for target range so on the way to store, also...

    New Fill Water Very Green - What To Do?

    After checking with him I did put in the sequestrant. Thanks for the advice. He also said the green water is because the water isn't circulating and it should clear after the filter system is on for a couple of hours and the chemistry gets balanced.

    New Fill Water Very Green - What To Do?

    The pool needs two more feet of water. Use it now or wait until full? The filter system will not come on until pool is full.

    New Fill Water Very Green - What To Do?

    So after replastering the fill is about 80-90% done and rather than light blue the water is VERY green. I've been balancing the pH and it's 7.6 Doing the bicarb fill and those instructions say to balance the rest of the chems after the pool is full so I haven't measured anything else, let...

    Plaster Finally

    So our replastering project started two weeks ago. First the tile guy laid the WL tile wrong because he didn't recognize the pattern, then the store ran out of it, when it came in 5 days later we had three days of rain, then the plaster guys showed on Saturday with the wrong plaster. The PB...

    How To Hide Dead Pool Light

    I wish it was that simple. Problem is the light is at the far end of the pool 50-60 ft from power, the light cord is stuck solid and they would have to dig through the concrete deck to get to the conduit to replace it. The PB offered the option of installing a junction box immediately behind...
