    Cleaning pool pump lid? Recommendations?

    I'm assuming I'll just pick up plast-x. Anyone other ideas? Went to the pool store and they were $50, knew not to buy, but still $22 on Amazon is pricey.

    Adding chemicals with a leak

    It's at the connector in front of my pump and the connector on top of my pump. Also going to check the three way O ring today. Is it still okay to add chemical with a leak? I guess pre dissolved will definitely ease my worries.

    Adding chemicals with a leak

    I need to raise my ph but I have an air leak. Is it fine to still pour borax in the skimmer if I have a leak?

    Whisperflo 1hp for 13.5k gallon pool

    No, just wanted to make sure it's fine. I would like something that's more energy efficient as I'm sure they're out there.

    Leak. Temp fix?

    I have a leak right where pvc meets pump front and right where pvc meets pump top heading to filter. Is there something I can use to seal that? I don't have the time to cut and fix these at the moment. Is there a glue that's recommended or anything?

    FC didn't shoot up like expected

    Just keep adding the recommended dosage from where I'm at each time to my goal? Or should I up my goal and go heavier?

    FC didn't shoot up like expected

    Crystal clear. It's from the local pool store, deposit jugs. I came home last night and poured 136oz in. When do I get CC? Is it when there's more than enough FC? Not sure I completely understand. CC is when it's being used and FC is what I have available? So shouldn't my readings have CC? I'm...

    FC didn't shoot up like expected

    Yesterday I was at 0 FC and went and bought 12.5% from the store. The calculator said to add 136 oz to get it up to 10, my cya is 90-100. I just checked and I'm only at 4.4 FC and 0 cc. Should I just go to the calculator and put in current FC and goal again and add that amount and keep doing...

    Took full results with K-2006 first time

    No SWG. I would love to get my CYA lower but we are in a drought and don't feel right wasting water. Water looks great, been blue since I moved in.

    Took full results with K-2006 first time

    I was just basing that on the chlorine I actually have, it is 6%. Everything else look okay?

    Cya 100+

    Re: Just got k 2006 and hung up on ch test I was reading my book and it talks about there possibly being too much chlorine and it bleaching out the reagents? Before I got the 2006 I use a basic 5 test kit and my chlorine looked to be over 5ppm since it was a dark yellow/orange. - - - Updated -...
