    Low CH with and high pH, trying to manage my CSI #

    We've had so much rain lately that all my values have gone down. I just added liquid chlorine this morning to get it up. Just to reiterate, I can ignore Pool Math's warning for pH outside range as long as CSI is OK? Thank you very much.

    Low CH with and high pH, trying to manage my CSI #

    Sanity Check: Running Chlorinator at 100%

    We finished our pool construction early January and I've been running it with the help of TFP ever since. I believe we have a problem with our salt generator, but since I'm new to all of this I'd like to hear your thoughts before I go through the warranty claim. From April 7 to now, I slowly...

    Heat Pump? Anybody install one?

    Feb 19th update, New Build in Tampa - Travertine Paver Deck & Solar (Partially Installed)

    I'm in Socal and I'm also bidding out a 14 X 28 without spa or any water features. We got our first quote last week and three more appointments next week. I'm in the process of requesting the make and model for all the pool equipment, but I have a pretty good sense of what it is I'm getting. I'm...
