Earlier in the summer my TA was running around 80-100ppm and I needed to add about 2 cups of acid every 2-3 days to keep the pH within range (7.5-7.6 as a target). I've only had to add acid on a regular basis the entire season, everything else was in line and really left alone. Now as fall as...

Hello HD, I'm just north of you in the Dallas area and I must say that the issue I've had this year (also my first year) is very similar to yours. I've checked everything I can think of... from leaks to possible bad CYA. All to no avail. I received new CYA reagent (which I didn't think was...

Well, another update after the bucket test. I started a bucket test last night around 6:00pm. ========================================= Turned off auto-fill and checked the float manually to ensure no water flow into the pool. Marked a white 5-gal button with a line inside about 3-in from the...

Thanks frustratedpoolmom. Since the spring when weather began getting warming and I starting trying to "up" the CYA, I've only backwashed the filter twice. I tested the CYA again this morning because last Friday I added another 1.5 lbs of CYA via the skimmer with a nylon sock. It was gone...
