    Chlorine made pool water turn brown

    I agree with pooldv. SLAM it and SLAM it good. Can't hurt. You never know. Also, based on your original pool photo of a green pool you said no algae was present. Generally, a green pool means the opposite. Just my two cents [emoji16] 22K Gallon, 30 foot round AG Dual speed 1.5 HP pump...

    CYA Loss

    Have you guys had a significant amount of evaporation in your pool? I have so far this year because of all the sun we have been getting. This is been one of the warmest and sunniest summers in several years. My pool gets roughly 10 hours of direct sunlight every day. 22K Gallon, 30 foot round...

    CYA Loss

    Greetings. At the start of the pool season my CYA was at a perfect 40. Lately (past month) I've noticed an increase in chlorine demand from my pool. On a hunch I did another CYA test and it literally fell to 10. We have had A LOT of sun this year and hardly any rain. I have had to add water to...

You don't need to apologize for anything. When you come up for air let us know how things are going...

    Dry skin problem

    Awesome. Thanks! And when you do add salt I take it a store will probably sell "pool salt?" Do you just dump it in and let it dissolve? Will it affect my FC, PH, etc?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dry skin problem

    Is there a calculator to show how much salt I would need to get to 2,000 ppm? Also, is there a way to test for this?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dry skin problem

    Thanks for the input. I've never looked into adding salt to my pool so I will need to do some reading to get more comfortable with the option. I don't get itchy skin, just very dry. Mostly on my legs. They almost turn a slight white. I'm pretty tan so it is very noticeable. I took my 3 year...

    Dry skin problem

    Thank you everyone for the replies. At the end of the day it may be a personal issue for me and how my skin tolerates chlorinated water. I am, however, a bit baffled about adding salt to my pool water. I have never read about this anywhere in TFP unless you had a SWG which I do not. I understand...
