Thank you. We do have gas going to a grill but I thought it T'd earlier in the line instead of going out and back. That would be strange.

Thank you for the explanations. Do you know why there are two verticle lines coming out of the ground on the gas line?

Our heater needs to be replaced this year and I sent pictures to our pool company and they asked why there are two conduits going into the heater. I'm guess he means these two lines (are there two gas lines) if so why would this be? Or is it something else, these are the pictures that I sent...

We opened our pool about a month ago and all seemed well. We had the salt water generator cleaned this year and the pool is about 4 years old. I noticed that the flow into the pool was not as strong as it typically was and that there was a small air pocket in the pump basket. I back washed...

Got the new kit and all is well. I'm surprised that it went off after a year but they do say to get a new kit every year. Now I'll know. Thanks for all of the advise!

Thank you for all of these helpful suggestions. I just tested a bottle of poland springs water and the TA is 160. Is this high for bottled water? I did have my well water tested about 2 years ago and the TA at that time was 160. typically my pool reads around 100. Thanks for all of your help!

I just checked my well water and I added 30 drops with no color change (except the quick change each drop makes immediately when added to solution) I'm guess that it is the reagents. I'll order refills for my test kit ;). Is there any harm from high TA levels? Also, could temperature play a...

yes, when I added drops after about 10 the drops turned pink then quickly green.

I did not have to add any more water as the water level was actually very high at opening. I asked the company to not add anything except liquid chlorine so I hope that they respected that. I added 2 drops of R-0007, 5 drops of R-0008 and use a speed stir. I then added 40 drops and stopped...

I just had my pool opened on Friday and tested the the water today (they added liquid chlorine during the opening and I waited for the fc level to normalize). I use the TF-100 test kit but it is last years kit. Here are my numbers: FC 8 CC 0 ph 7.5 CH 100 TA over 400 (never saw a complete...

So it has been about a month and everything was going great, I've kept my cl between 2 and 6 for the most part. I have a bit of a problem with the pH constantly drifting up so I average around 8. my CYA is finally at 80 and I now have to balance the CH which is at 100 and the TA which is at...
