    Bleach how often how much

    Just one more thing re Bleach... I've had it splash up and ruin several nice shirts and pants when adding it to pool, so make sure you aren't adding it dressed in your work clothes on your way to work, and pour it in slowly!

    Scaling caused by high CYA???

    2 year old in-ground gunnite pool with diamond brite quartz. Lots of scaling. Cracks were repaired on bottom of pool 2 years ago and they are still bright blue while the rest of the pool isn't, making the repair very noticeable. Builder's rep (and diamond brite rep) came over and said its a...

    Added Algaecide ?

    As Home Simpson would say ... "D'oh" I listened to the kid at Leslie's who, when I told him my water was turning a little green, advised a copper algaeside, and I already added it to my gunnite, chlorine 25,000 gal pool. My wife and kids and I all have brown hair. We have a tahoe blue quartz...
