Thank you for fast answers.. amazing how fast the sun burned through the chlorine without CYA in the water. For 2 days , almost 2 gallons of 10% a day :o I think I the CYA irritated my skin on my squeezing hand though lol 4lbs in socks is a lot of squeezing

she forgot to turn off water :( So for 4 days the Pool was filling and running over. Uggg.. anyways in the 108 degree temp everything dried up pretty good now and water level was good after 2 days. But, I was worried about chem issues and did a CYA test, it was @ zero which normally it’s at...

Yeah, you'd come back to huge jucuzzi lol. I have solar panels in Summerlin, NV and it jumped to 95 degrees in 4 days when it was over 110 degrees outside when I was gone Ran for 6 hours a day . and the chlorine was gone but no green stuff. You'd practically have no heat loss cause of a cover

lts bad here in the desert southwest. I can't find it lower then 7 per gallon and Leslies has bought out their competition and it's not 31% anymore it's I think 27%

Two-three gallons of 10% a week.. it's been brutally hot and sunny this year. Pool temp 91 :cool:

Bump up as heat will be in excess of 115 for Fathers Day !! And left the solar running the last 3 days and now we have 12k gallon hot tub at 94. Child: "Dad....throw some ice in, ITS TO HOT "

Hi, I know everyone was on the edge of their seats waiting for results.. �� I changed the pump basket gasket last night and it still wouldn't prime so today I stuck a screw driver gently into the where the water is drawn ? and spun that gismo that spins (defuser) and its back...

Thanks I'm sure it's the orginal O ring but over the last 10 years since I've owned the pool I've always used silicone grease. But I'm changing the O ring, I think it's 15 years old and never has been change as far I know.

Last night at 12am I heard a different sound and noticed my pressure gage at 15 and it's normally at 28. Shut it down, and today I took my off lid and checked gasket, it seems stretched, so it took a few minutes to install after cleaning and new lube. Skimmers are working great and main drain...

Hey neighbor, I'd love to see your test numbers. Welcome and get the speed stir it's worth its weight in gold. I use mine all the time.. good luck taking over your pool, I did about 3 4 years ago and it's the 2nd best thing I've ever done in the desert. Your water looks fantastic by the way...

^^^ that's funny cause I have a wife like that too ^^^

Wow ? Look at that snow. It's beautiful ? I haven't seen snow in like 15 years :cool: if I had that around my pool the jacuzzi would be fired up making steam. Awesome stuff right there :p

My neighbor used to have a tree that hung over my side wall, windy day would leave leafs in my pool, it was a eucalyptus tree. If I don't by get the leaves out within a week they would leave a stain. Brushing didn't help or do much at all, but I noticed that once the leafs were cleaned out and...

Walmart Las Vegas, West Tropicana, was 3.22 a gallon 10% first time I've been in there. It's scary ! Leslie's is buying out all the other pool stores :( Some of you are sooooo lucky

You guys are lucky with your bleach use. I go through 5/6 gallons a week at 70 cya. But, it is +-110 for almost 3 straight months. Solar gets it up to 85 too
