What would be my target FC for 40 CYA?

We just had our pool converted to a SWG at the same time as a new liner. I see the recommended CYA level is 70-80. Contractor installed a Hayward Aqua Rite 900 series which has a recommended CYA of 30-50. I talked to the installer today and mentioned that Trouble Free Pools recommends a...

This will make our pool much more "trouble free" if I don't have to mess with muratic acid! I also appreciate you telling me PH of 7.4 is also fine so I don't have to aerate right now either! I am sure like you said it will drift up with people using the pool. Thanks again!

Thank you for your very detailed reply! Yes it is just the start of swim season here in Indy due to a cold spring. Our TA was running high last summer too and we really did not see a lot of upward drift in our PH. I think I spent too much time trying to lower TA because I thought it had to be...

We just had our vinyl liner replaced. The fill water has a high TA, so therefore my first numbers are high. I have added bleach. FC 5 PH 7.4 TA 200 CH 300 I will start adding acid to get the TA down, but would like to know what is a reasonable number to shoot for. I know the recommended...

Wow it worked! We took the suggestion to first walk on the cover to fix the misalignment and it took care of it. It is not perfect, but much better than it was so THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for posting that! I will have my husband take a look and let you know if we get it fixed. I hope so!

Unfortunately there are no troubleshooting hints in our manual, just says to call them if there are problems!! I don't think they want us fixing anything on our own! It is a cover from a company in Fishers Indiana called Automatic Pool Covers. I am guessing it is not rolling up straight since...

Our autocover closes evenly on the shallow end but is opening very crooked on the deep end. Is this something that we can fix on our own or do we need to call in the "professionals"? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Fill water CH is about 325. We have been using bleach for 3 years. Jill

We just had our pool opened today and I have a question on high TDS, even though I have read on this forum not to pay to much attention to this! I just want to make sure we don't need to do something about it. The water is a little hazy and has an odor to it also noticed by the guy opening the...

It is definitely not low PH unless something is wrong with my Taylor test kit because I check that nearly every day and it is usually 7.6. I guess I need to get the electrical checked out.

The information about the brand is American Products Pool Light AMP78434100 Light AMP78232400 Niche AJGMT300 Transformer We just removed the light and there was SO much black gunk that just came floating into the pool. It is also all over the back of the light and the niche looks totally...
