    PH Rise

    I had been using the 10.5% liquid chlorinator from Pinch a Penny and averaging 24oz Muriatic acid per week. I switched to the Home Depot 10% on June 4th and I have not had to add ANY acid since. Can anyone explain the difference? Thanks, Mike

    Salt entry on pool math

    I was curious about the salt level as well so I bought the Taylor K-1766 kit and tested. My water (not a salt pool) is 1400ppm salt. It definitely does impact the CSI # in Pool Math.

    What's your current pool temp?

    74F yesterday afternoon but down to 69F this morning. The kids don't seem to mind swimming when it's in the 70's but too cold for me.

    OCLT was 1 last night CC still 2.5 but at least there's progress. Hopefully something I did in the last couple days may be working.

    Texas Splash, Thanks for all the great suggestions! The Pool Calculator says CF 18 for a CYA of 60 (or am I missing something?) but actually I ran up in the high 30's for the first several days and only let it drift down to 22-24 the last couple days. I will look closer at the weir doors...

    Another Algae Thread

    Is it "normal" to take 7 days to get chloring usage down and CC below .5? I have been at shock level (25-40 fc) for 168 hours now and just tested CC and it's back up to 5. I just took out the lights (spa and pool) about 52 hours ago (since it was so cold and I hesitated on getting in the...

    Pump Interlock for Chlorine Pump

    That's great information! I can just use that relay as a switch for the 120V for the Stenner pump and the rest of my problems/questions don't really matter for this solution. Thanks for all the help!!
