True, good point on the valve acting as a backup. I'll get it ordered and replaced. Thanks

First time closing my pool. I have a Vinyl liner so I'm only draining to about a 1/4 way up the skimmer, builder doesn't want me draining any lower. Blew out the 3 returns with my shop vac, got great bubbles from each and plugged each of them one at a time. Could see small bubbles upon plugging...

Pool looks great this morning, just in time for hurricane rains tonight for about 24hrs. I'll be pumping it out again I'm sure:LOL::LOL:

We actually decided to swim this evening for a bit, I figured it would help stir up any remaining dirt. Looks clearer afterwards. I'll keep the pump running and stay the course. We're expecting more rain Tuesday all day so I may hold off till Wednesday on checking the CYA. Thank you for your help!

Hey guys, Just want to make sure I'm doing everything I should be with my pool since we had a tornado watch early this morning and took on a lot of rain water overnight. I woke up this morning to my pool water over top of the skimmer boxes which was kind of shocking considering I was probably...

2nd TF100 Testing (yesterday 6/22/20) Salt Level - 2970 FC - 5.5 CC - 0.5 TC - 6.0 PH - 7.8 TA - 130 CH - 250 CYA - 40 So when I was done I added 63oz of MA. That stuff is pretty crazy, it looks like a sheet of ice as you slowly dump it in front of a return jet:eek:. I definitely need to get...

Added 4lbs of CYA Friday and Saturday night. Waiting till tonight to do my testing, that theoretically should bring my CYA up to about 45. Used the sock method, 1st socks were too good of quality...it took forever for the granules to dissolve. Went to dress socks on the next two lbs, much...

Re-tested the PH today when I got home and I'm down to 7.5 after adding PH down last night so that's encouraging. I never get to actually see it at a lower level, by the time the week is up and I go to re-test at the pool store it's back up to 8.0 or so.

Ahhhh, that helps me tremendously! I was definitely at an indigo, nowhere near sky blue.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Ok good to know, thanks!

Hello all! My pool was completed 8/2019 so I'm still in my first year of ownership. I've been reading a ton and learning ALOT! So I received my TF100 Test kit along with a Speedstir in the mail yesterday. Quick Shipping! I immediately opened the box and read all the material and stared at all...

My pool guy said the same thing to me. I just leave it open, but I feel the same about no passwords.
