    More post-Harvey test results. I think it replaced 50% of my pool!

    Piggy backing on the Harvey thread. I just returned to my house after a week away. Results before the storm: FC: 22 (shocked before I left) CC: 0 Ph: 7.4 TA: 70 CH: 330 CYA: 50 AFTER FC: 3.5 (added 100 oz to get to 8) CC: 0 Ph: 7.4 TA: 30 CH: 130 Cya: need to get reagant haven't tested...

    Frequency of CYA addition

    Thanks Husky - I'm going to wait to add until this tropical storm pushes through so as not to immediately dilute the pool again

    Frequency of CYA addition

    My latest test are: FC: 5 CC: 0 Ph: 7.6 TA: 70 CH: 330 CYA: 30 We had a kids bday party too and some heavy thunderstorms which are contributing factors for sure. I just think that's probably going to be standard here in Houston and since I haven't maintained during summer yet I was wondering...

    Frequency of CYA addition

    We've seen increased usage of the pool given the temps and have two small girls so splashing is definitely occurring. We've had rain too. I guess I'm not surprised by the drop given conditions. I'm just curious if, when rolling that all together over the hot Houston summers, I can expect to add...

    Frequency of CYA addition

    hi everyone - I am in to my first summer of pool ownership and wondering what is normal with respect to frequency of stabilizer addition? I built the pool in October of last year and the PB loaded me up to 60ppm. Since then I was letting the number come down over the winter. In mid-May I...

    Pool Math........The App

    I have the same subscriber issue and sent a screenshot to the email. In addition I just noticed the "Recommended FC" level based on my tests says 1 to 3 but my CYA is 50. In the beta it showed the correct range per the cya/fc chart. Not a big deal for me at this point but just passing along so...

    Pool Math........The App

    I definitely agree. I'm certainly not complaining - just wanted to report the issue is all. The loss of data is a bummer but it's only several weeks on what I suspect will be years and years of long-term data so a hiccup more than anything catastrophic. If the data is recoverable that's great...

    Pool Math........The App

    I've been using the beta and loving it! But when I went to log my test results this evening I was notified that I "don't have a pool set up" - did everything get wiped out upon submitting for review? Anyone else experience this issue?

    NOOB questions on CYA testing and adjusting

    I'd like to piggyback on this thread as a newbie myself having finally had my cya levels bottom out after the pool builder increased my level to over 70 at startup... I've now gotten a little on the low side (~35) as the sun is burning off my chlorine quicker than previously (pool gets full sun...

    Just getting started in katy/Houston

    Hanje - we just built a pool in your general neck of the woods and all quotes we received we were provided email copies to make the decision. We didn't receive a line by line breakout until we made a decision but definitely designs (including videos) and estimated cost. I would definitely...

    How to tell age of Muriatic Acid?

    I did notice they had two types sitting right next to each other - same brand but different colors on the packaging. On the HD app one says "for swimming pools" and it's the half strength stuff. The other is slightly more expensive but full strength. I used it last night. When I test today if...

    How to tell age of Muriatic Acid?

    It has an odor for sure. I honestly didn't check the odor but I looked back at it and the brand is sunbelt chemicals. It was marked under HDX on the shelf but isn't. Where did you get yours? A rep pointed me to the paint section first but that was the half strength stuff. The good stuff was...
