I am in the exact same position. Did you ever figure out a solution? I tried the descaler product that Leslie sells. I thought it worked, but 2 hours later its all still there

I need to replace the pressure relief valve and cant get the quick disconnect to release. Valve just spins

I am going to add borax to my pool. I notice that pool math indicates boxes of 76 oz and converts how many boxes you will need. Has the packaging changed and now boxes are 65 oz, or should I look for larger boxes. I saw these on Amazon and at walmart.

I will be gone Thursday thru Sunday. Should I do the mustard shock level as of tomorrow morning for 24 hours? My house sitter could add a gallon a day while I am gone, but that we be really close to the normal range. I dont want the mustard algae to start growing again at the normal range...

I will be gone Thursday thru Sunday. I will have someone here to make daily additions of bleach, but not all the testing etc

I was ill and free chlorine fell. Water was not green, but I noticed green all around the sides of the pool. I brushed everything down and back washed. I started slamming on 9/15/16. As of this morning, I am still losing 3ppm over night. I have been brushing daily and testing anywhere from...

I see in your signature your pool was built last April. I would think that you have a freeze guard mode that kicks on depending what temp has been programmed. Ours kicks on at 35.

Thanks, I will try that.

I noticed a few rust stains a few months back. I thought my husband sprayed some fertilizer pellets in the pool. The spots look about a 1/4 inch in diameter. Now I notice more closer to the main drain, and we have not spread any fertilizer. I have tried brushing, but this did not help. Any...

Almost a year later, thought I would update how I got rid of the white line just in case someone else has this same issue. Leslie pool Descale it spray. Sprayed, left overnight. Next morning was broken down, but a bigger mess. Mixed acid and water, sprayed it on the smeared mess, scrubbed...

Still curious about the ph effect

I will be gone for 7 days in June. It took me 8 months to get my CYA down from 360 after switching to BBB. I don't want to mess up as when are on tight water restrictions and draining is out of the question. This is my current test results FC 6 Need to add chlorine CC 0 PH 7.6 TA 90 CH...

In reading the first page with the instructions to add borates, why is it necessary to wait 48 hours to test for the borates level? Filter has ran 24 hours straight, will that not have the water sufficiently turned?

I live in Dallas as well. You should always add DE after backwashing. You might want to consider paying to have you filter cleaned the first time and watching the process. It is not hard, getting grids back together, reassembling the filter cover with no small leaks are occasionally a...

The CYA test is certainly the most difficult. I will test again on the next sunny day, perhaps I really am at the 50 range. If I understand Jason's post above, I could be losing 3ppm a day. We have had a few 80 degree days with full sun and wind. I really appreciate everyone's help. It was...
