I just added 15 lbs. of Calcium Up and 6 lbs. of Baking Soda. That's all I had for now... We'll see where that gets us tomorrow.

Thanks "Mr. Bruce". I didn't know pebble tec was considered plaster.

I did Slam my pool for 3 days. I maintained FC at 12. I did the overnight test and lost 1ppm. I added the stabilizer 1 day before beginng to slam. Yes, the k-2007 does only go down to 7.0, the color was a shade lighter then the 7.0, so I figured around 6.9. How do I know what TA and CH levels...

I don't think the t-shirt was porous enough for the stabilizer. I let is soak for 3-4 days and still the shirt was pretty full. On day 2, I used a fork to put larger holes in the shirt. On day 3, I used a knife to put even larger holes in the shirt. On day 4, I ripped the shirt open and used my...

Here are some new numbers: FC= 2.0 ppm CC= .0 ppm pH= 7.2 TA= 40 ppm CH= 110 ppm CYA= <30 <0 Saturated Index= -1.2 Water temp= 60° I added 8 lbs. of sanitizer last night. Left the pump running at 1500 rmp all night. Gave the sanitizer a few squeezes today...

No problem. I did the math with 35k, I don't really know my pool size, sorry. I think I'm in the ball park. Thanks.

Pool math says to add about 190 oz. of stabilizer. That works ot to be just under 12 lbs. Does that sound right?

Texas Splash- Thanks for that advise. I have read the "abc's" and the "pool school" articles a couple of times. I have a few numbers that are way off and I really wasn't sure how adjusting one chemical would effect the others. What your saying does makes sense. Can I do all of that at the same...

A little history: I have only every (past 2 years) checked CL and pH with a cheap residential test kit. I have only ever added liquid chlorine, tablets and acid to my pool. Every other test and/or chemical is new to me. Here are the numbers: FC= 1.0 ppm (Target= 3) CC= .25 ppm (Target= <.5)...

I found that part number after I ordered the one that I have. The measurements seem correct. I think I'll order the 516252. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks for your help, guys and gals!

I'm looking for some help replacing my weir board. My pool was built in 1991, I've own this pool for 2 years. The weir board has been missing since I moved in. Under the skimmer lid it says "sta-rite" and "U-6". I ordered p/n: 8650-0022. This is a Pentair product but it also says "sta-rite" and...

Hello everyone, We (wife and 2 kids) bought this house a couple of years ago and I've been struggle through my pool maintenance ever since. I have a good local pool supply place that is very helpful and has competitively priced parts and chemicals. However, the information I receive from them...
