Added 1.5 gallon Chlorinating Liquid and 0.5 gal. Muriatic Acid to the pool early this afternoon. I then went to Leslie Pool Supply and bought a 8.lbs bag of Stabilizer. Test FC and pH again 2 and half hours later. The sample still didn't turn into pink after added 2 dippers of R-870. pH was...

Taylor K-2006 testing kit got here yesterday. I did a few test this morning. I got to admit that I'm very confused. First, the FC test came out nothing. I add 10 dippers of R-0870 to the tube. The water didn't change color at all. Am I suppose to add more R-0870 until the water turns to pink...

Yes. I do have an old in-floor cleaning system that doesn't work. The pop-ups don't pop up anymore. I'm googling on how to fix it.

Thank you guys for chiming in. Sorry for not signing in for a few days. I have been busy to fix the pump. I finally gave up to loose the bolts. I took the pump to a local pool supply shop. I'm glad I did since I saw how difficult it was for a man to loose up those bolts. The guy also replaced...

est. 1800 gal.

Thank you, duraleigh. I read the article about starting a new pool. I don't think the pool plaster guy came in everyday to brush my pool. I think they did a couple times in the first two weeks after replastered my pool. They keep the pump running for a few days and replace the filter cartridges...

Replastered our pool last month. It has been 20 days since we refilled the pool. Over the weekend, I used test strip to test water. All numbers was in right range excepted Chlorine level is almost zero. Yesterday, I notice there were air bubbles on the surface of water. They are like the bubbles...

needsajet, thanks for asking:). To answer you question, the spa water should be approx. 15 in. higher than pool water; yes, the damages of the plaster was above the back down water level. The pool company replastered my pool installed a check valve at the spa return; however, the spa water...

Good News: After disconnected pipes and separated the pump motor and the basket part, cleaned O-Rings and applied Magic Lube on each of them, and put everything back together in the dark with only a headlight, I filled the basket and turned on the pump. Water poured in the basket in 2 second...

Thank you.

Thank you. Texas Splash. Just upload a picture of my pool, and added the pool information. Tried to purchase Taylor K-2006 from TFTestkits.net (it is on sale), but couldn't get shipping method work. Will try it later. Also, how do you determine how many gallons of water in a pool?

Thank you. I was wondering how to add the information and picture. I just bought a pack of water test strips and some chemical yesterday. Hasn't figure out the whole water testing thing yet.

Yes. I have an old Jandy diverter valve (pool & spa suctions) connected to the input pipe of pump, and another one at pool suction side to control flow from skimmer or main drain. I didn't touch the valve when I disconnected the pump. I will double check the O-Rings tonight.
