Hello- Have had our pool for about 6 months, filter pressure is high after cleaning, have had some calcium scaling, which could contribute. Plan to soak in diluted acid but also want to get a second filter as backup, and to confirm higher pressure is not due to other issues. We have a Jandy...

Yep, that’s what I use to track my tests. Thank you. I’ll give that a try. Any idea if a few days of low PH will damage our heater? We basically have it running whenever the pump runs to maintain temp. And had no idea the ph was that low for a couple days.

We have a newer inground pebble Gunite pool that just got finished in September. Our pool builder was out two days ago finishing up punch out items and finally took a look at some staining that had been on the plaster since start up. I tested the water today and the pH was 6.2! I’ve been...

We do have an overflow drain

We’ve had a lot of rain, so haven’t really had to fill it since we started it up. Don’t recall what it was the first day we filled, we had a water truck deliver. Would the rain cause the CH to lower? We’ve had over 6” this month.

We are at about week 3 since starting our in-ground pebble plaster pool. We’ve been reading a lot about maintaining proper levels during the first month, brushing daily, and adding acid and liquid chlorine as needed. Using the Taylor test kit. From what we understand pH will tend to rise so...

We have a Jandy e pump. 2.7HP VSP. I cant seem to find any buttons on the pump (without taking anything apart at least). And not seeing anything in the manual that indicates the ability to adjust without the automation. We were only told we can turn it on an off with the button in here

Sorry if this is a dumb question. PB started up our pool equipment last week and hasn’t shown us how to operate anything besides the bubbler and skimmer valves. We have a 2.7 HP VS Pump. The PB doesn’t have anyone to set up automation, so it will be another 2 weeks before someone they contracted...

As feared, we have iron staining on our aqua cool plaster... they added sequestrant upon startup, along with acid and a day later added shock to the pool and stabilizer to the skimmer. We had to drain about 3-4 inches, so he told me to add another bottle of sequestrant after we filled it back...

Our PB has been pretty awful. The plumbing and equipment was set up a few weeks ago, but missing valves (guess they wanted their check). They said they would just finish the plumbing upon startup and scheduled plaster. They have since plastered our pool Friday, we got conflicting information...
