whats the difference between the k2006 that you are talking about and the k2005? http://cgi.ebay.com/Taylor-K-2005-Profe ... 18Q2el1247

ok I found my test kit but the darned drops expired last summer....I tried it anyway and both the FC and the TC came out at 10 so I am pretty sure I need new drops cuz that dont make sense to me!

THAT I had not thought about.... I will look at the pump and filter next time I wander out there....its a pretty far walk and my preggo feet are swollen!

AS far as why I am concerned w/ my filter I guess I wasnt really clear. (I didnt realize you all would jump all over my chemicals!) After the shallow end gets clear and the deep end is still green the filter starts blowing green gunk BACK into the pool. Which then makes the shallow end green...

CYA is 40

I have one of the drop test things somewhere I just cant find it. Darn kids moved stuff trying to find pool toys last weekend.

my question is should I put ONE big filter on one end or 2 smaller filters on both ends. is your response that you think 1 big filter would be better than 2 smaller ones? What is the DE trick? I just had a full analysis done at the pool store over the weekend and he said everything was...

I postedi t...its a few posts up

my sons pediatrician has told us many times that we need to limit his exposure to our pool because his asthma is severe and the chlorine can cause attacks. Everytime I shock the pool (or bring the Cl level to shock level) he has trouble breathing. I know that for MY son the CL level has an...

here is what the strips just read.... CL is above 10 (they only go to 10 and this is MUCH darker than 10) PH is 7.2 ALK is 150 now that is compared to 6 hours ago I was at ph 7.0 and alk 140....before 4 lbs of baking soda. It is not my chemicals I am concerned with. I am looking for advice...

I hate to disagree with you but chlorine is a known agitator of asthma and can cause occupational asthma. http://www.aquasanastore.com/water-facts_b07.html

I can get it clear. We have been clear a few days then we go back to green or cloudy. I need to upgrade my filter to KEEP it clear when it gets there this time. My husband thinks it is our sand but the sand was replaced last year so I am not agreeing with him there. Chlorine is so high it...

no we did not put in a bottom drain....thats why I am thinking adding the second pump filter to the deep end might be a good idea! But in the end is that ENOUGH for a pool this size?!?

I have always had sand filters (I grew up w/ a pool and it was my responsibility to clean it :wink: ) so I am leaning towards another one....I am just wondering if with a pool this size it would help keep it clean if I had one at each end as opposed to just a bigger one at one end. KWIM? It...

I have a 21x41 oval doughboy it is 4 ft on one end and 6.5 ft on the other end. I bought it used 3 years ago and we have been doing good but this year I am going crazy (cloudy then green, then cloudy again, now cloudy and green!) . It came w/ a 1.5HP pump and a 130lb sand filter. I have it...
