ok cool ill get one, one more question.....what about the automatic chlorine feeders, how well do they work do you recomend them. the only reason i ask is because my pool came with one and i never hooked it up. i seen it there in the garage and it hit me to ask.

the guy at the pool store said thast because my pressure gauge was not going back to 0 after unplugging the pump that the gauge was bad and i needed a new one. is this true, the only reason i ask is because this guy really didnt seem to know what he was talking about with the lady in front of...

cool link to the pool solar cover, i might have to try that out. problem is first i need to get another cover. i went all last year without one and it really didnt matter much. i didnt have any problems with my baquacil the 4 years i had it just tierd of spending the money.

well i have a great dane and he ate my solar cover that came with the pool. all it looked like was blue bubble wrap. now as for the solar cover i find it impossible to put this on during the summer. it is so big...30' round and all, is there an alternate solution. i was in leslies pool store and...

i am taking back the power ionizer as well since i bought it last week, and used it i can still take it back but will have to eat 15% restocking fee...what a crock but at least we get to get most of the money back :)

well its finally holding chlorine. last night I put in like 9 gallons of bleach and when i tested it this morning it was still above 10ppm. i went to the leslies pool store today and they dont carry the tester you suggest, so i will have to order it from that site. right now i am happy that it...

non baquacil brand off non chlorine oxidizer. i felt it wouldnt do me any good to use any of thier products if i was going to prolong the effects of what i was tryn to do. :) i am assured that it will FINALLY work, its just not seeing any result change in the FC while testing is a little...

well i would expect that if i had left over baquacil in the pool. if you look up at the very first time when i posted the thread you will see my numbers. as far as the test showed us there was no more baquacil in the water when i started to add all this bleach. i have yet to see anyone who...

about the chlorine i am getting the household bleach not the pool chlorine from them. i figured that it would be the cheaper of the 2 but now i am starting to question my logic on that.

well i am getting the walmart brand of chlorine...is that ok? i have added 10 1 gallon bottles and 7 1.42 gallon bottles tonight. I will go by the leslies pool place tomorrow and see if i can get that test kit. hopefully since its the name brand test i should be getting from there they will...

i dont have 2 speed pump it is a 2hp pump and it is on 24hrs a day. now what do you think about the powerionizer being on...leave it on or turn it off till the conversion? stabilizer or dont worry about it? as far as your last reply it sets me at ease. it makes a little more sense now, i know...

i just wanted to add that i have an item called the powerionizer running right now, should i turn it off. it has 2 electrodes in it which are suppose to inhibite the growth of algea. it is inline with the output of the sand filter i have. could this be inhibiting my results in some way?

ok i will forget about the chlorine lock, but is there a reason for TC to be over 10ppm and fc to be so low? I will check tomorrow if Leslies has one of those kits Ill get it. Now I am going by the Jason's Pool Calculator and adding the chlorine like it says. I have a 25,000 gallon pool and I...

I probably wouldnt feel so bad about doing this if i hadnt bought the power ionizer for $400 bucks. so i am still a little stressed about the amount of money i have had to dish out just to goto a cheaper and easier way of taking care of the pool....sorry to all.

here is the link to the test kit i got, i actually have a leslies pool care shop right down the street. http://www.lesliespool.com/browse/Home/ ... 00/I/18547
