How do you know how much bleach to add!

Yes, they pressurized all of the lines, had listening hardware and used dyes to locate the leaks. He identified the leaks and showed me whatever they were. He also said in 24-48 hrs I should have a full report and I could get a quote on the repairs.

Does anyone know of a leak detect co.in west Houston, TX? I am loosing 3/4 - 1” of water a day!

I planned on doing diluted CYA test today but before I could my pool guy came and put in 2-3 pics and added shock! I fired him so I am now doing my own maintenance! I removed the pucs and will run test tomorrow and post results!

Thanks

Thanks. Do I have to empty half of the water in order to drop my CYA?

Thanks for your reply, I will have to run that test. And, no it did not take much to convince me, i fired my maintenance co.

I ordered the TF100 Test Kit and a TFP member helped me run my first set of test. Before this I had a pool maintenance doing the pool.

Hi, I am new to TFP, you were recommended by another TFP member. Here are my first chemical numbers: FC = 9 CH = 575 TA = 120 CYA = 110 PH = 8 What do I need to do to get my numbers back to normal?

I am tired of pool maintenance people, they never show up on time and keep raising their prices! How do I do it myself?
