FC: 6 CC .5 Ph 7.8 TA 90 Cya 50 CH 750 Pool temp 85 Hose water temp 79

Could my calcium hardness level be from hurricanes? A lot of river water dumped in during them. Or maybe it’s from a few years ago when pool was refinished. I still don’t get it but my salt cell gets build up on the monthly these days so I’m certain this is what’s blowing into the spa side...

Pool temp is 85. Free chlorine is 6 Alkalinity is 90 Ph is 7.8 Cya is 50 How do I figure out the temp of water from hose? Is that the pool levels needed or do I need to test anything else? My salt level is 3400

there is a drain at the end of my driveway but it would be a long way from the pool. I do live on the river, is it harmful to drain it into the river? That may be a dumb question, not sure.

I’m going to get a pump today and start the process. Before I start I’ll test the water temps of hose and pool. Thank you very much. The white sediment settling on spa floor is driving me nuts

Thank you, I’ll read up on that. And post back with any questions. It sounds really hard. I’ve no idea how it got to 90? Maybe I raised it months ago? I can’t recall last time I did so since it’s been between 80-90 all winter. And the only thing I add typically, or a majority of the...

Yes

Well the last time I checked it, it was 70. It’s been about two weeks. I typically keep my FC around 6-8 depending on use.

TA of water from outside hose that’s hooked up to house water is 60. CH is 150. Another odd thing is when doing the test from house water, it turned actual blue after 5-6 drops. When using pool water it looked purple and not blue.

Do I test water the same way from hose I’d use to fill pool exactly as I would for pool? I’m going to assume that’s the case sorry if it’s a dumb question 🤣. I am going to order new tonight. It’s on my list. In the meantime, with chlorine stable and pool clear, I have to assume it’s ok...

Hi everyone. My pool has been in great shape since finding this place and firing pool guy and taking it over myself a few years ago. I live in Florida and the weather started getting very sunny and warm over the past 6 weeks. For the start of the season, I cleaned salt cell, filter and...

It’s only about a 15-20 min drive. The issue is, my youngest son who isn’t so young anymore, can’t sit up or walk or roll over so going over there isn’t so simple and lifting him extra in a day on repeat for something like that, really is hard on the back. I’m not getting any younger and...

My mother in law has been in memory care for 4-5 months. Had a pool cleaner person going to her house once a week to service the pool in her home that is getting some things done to prepare for sale. Pool guy was charging as if he was going but he clearly wasn’t because I went by there and...

Yes I have the proper test kit from my own pool. I’ll test it, now that I’m not hesitant to stick my hand in it
