    should I reinvest or move on?

    I use a TF-100 kit. He has not been using the swg, so I think he is treating the numbers for manual dosing. I don't know where the CYA was when he started. could I be that he was using the puck to increase the cya, and now he'll control it? I know: :blah: :blah: :hammer: and I...

    should I reinvest or move on?

    ok, I felt really guilty for neglecting my poor pool, so I tested the water: FC: 2.0 CC: 1.0 TA : 140 Ca : 340 CYA: 50 PH : 8.2 NaCl : 2740 after 3 months of using the poo guy, they seem pretty good. CYA under control. I was have problems with the acid also.

    should I reinvest or move on?

    Boy, am I lousy at asking these questions. I do appreciate the responses though. My main question is the one posted about weather it's worth it to try an use the swg. right now i don't think it's even on. I expected Calcium build up because my water is extremely hard, but there was never a...

    should I reinvest or move on?

    Hi, I have been frustrated by my AquaPure 1400. I've gone through 4 sensors in 2 years. I was trying to stay on it but even with proper salt levels it would stop working. at the time I was doing all the maintenance on my own. But when an issue with the Aqua pure came up (and I checked all...

    Mt pH is driving me crazy!!!

    @XsAllOverIt thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy. I would think needing to add acid every 3 day I was doing something wrong. I do like the sound and sight of the fountain running continuously, budget be Darn.

    Mt pH is driving me crazy!!!

    got the PH to 7.3, 2 days later it was > 8 again (fountain and 3 water jets on). going to have to stay on this.

    Mt pH is driving me crazy!!!

    First, My pH must have been much higher than I thought. I added 1/2 gal of 31.45% HCL and am at 7.8 today. I feel good I'm in a measurable range and will keep working it down. I measured the water from the hose bib- TA is 140. so the only way to lower the TA is adding acid?

    Mt pH is driving me crazy!!!

    thanks, I was wondering how to lower the TA. Although it brings up another question out of curiosity. I'm supposed to aerate to raise the ph without raising the TA, correct? I thought my original issue on why I couldn't raise the PH was because of all the aeration I was doing I had driven...

    Mt pH is driving me crazy!!!

    ah, an answer- The spa overflow only runs for a while at night, but I have a water wall fountain running 24/7. that may be my problem.

    Mt pH is driving me crazy!!!

    I can't seem to get my pH below 8. the pool is crystal clear, other chemistry seems to be fine: FC 5.0 today (2.5-5.0 over last 2 months), cc 0.5, PH 8.2 (>8 last 2 months), TA 130 (110-130), cya 45 (25-50). salt- 2775-3250 I've added over 4 gallons of 14.5% liquid HCL. at first more slowly...

    Jandy Aquapure service light problems

    pool guy says it's because the salt is too high- reading 4100. That doesn't seem so high it would shut the system down, or does it?

    Jandy Aquapure service light problems

    I keep having problems with Jandy Aquapure. The service light goes on, with no other numbers in the screen. the system stops working. This happens intermittanly, so when the PB comes out to investigate, it is never on. about 3 weeks ago, they replaced the sensor, boosted it at 100% for a few...

    In-line calcium filter?

    As I look at my water wall feature and see the calcium build up i wonder is there a in-line calcium filter that would work? I think they have those filters for filling the pool, does anyone know of something that might work? thanks

    Why CYA is lost

    but if my salt level is stable, shouldn't that rule out water loss?
