Thank you.

Now, I'm fighting high TA (130) and high pH (approaching 8+). I suspect the bleach is the culprit as I'm having to dump a full 121oz jug in every day to maintain chlorine levels in the 5-6 range. This isn't making sense to me. CYA is in the 60 range.

Thank you. I think we are on the right track now. TA and pH have normalized and I'm able to keep the TC in the 5-6 range. It's been dropping to 2 or so fairly often so I'm guessing I've had some near misses. More rain today so we will see what tomorrow brings Sent from my iPhone using...

I will have to check TA. CH is 300 on fill water. My pool volume is very hard to calculate Shallow end is 3 feet deep. Deep end goes to 9 feet, I believe, but slopes the whole way. I believe I'm between 25k and 30k gallons. Not rough at all. Last year, the scale that we saw was rough...

The only thing i can think of is when I shocked it last fall, or when my guy that opens for me shocked it this spring, it settled to the bottom. He would have had the pump on and I'm pretty sure I had it on and brought TC way up in fall. I have to wonder if it's scale of some sort.

Thanks. I'm worried about why my liner seems to be fading...quickly. Opened in mid-april and there was not much fade noticeable. Surely baking soda didn't do it (I've had to add a TON of it...like 40 lbs, to get my TA up. pH was in the high 6's when I opened and has come up since adding the...

Since taming the swamp two years ago, almost to the day, I had always fought with a scale I couldn't get rid of. pH was high as was CH. Toward the end of last year, I finally got the gumption to dump acid in the pool and got the pH down and the scale magically went away. Winterized by...

I opened to a clear pool with a mesh safety cover (loop loc) that has several holes in it. I just shocked it into oblivion and kept an eye on it since November. Last year, I added several gallons of bleach to be sure. Didn't have to do so this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to know I'm not the only one that watches for this sale and buys by the truckload. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just flipped our heater on Friday evening to warm up the pool For the weekend. Went from 66 degrees to 80 in about 18 hours or so. Thank god it got warm yesterday and today. I will be shutting the heater down for the next couple weeks and won't open next year until After the pollen is...

Oh...TF-100 Final numbers today after getting pool warmed up and adding baking soda pH 7.2 TA 60 CH 100 CYA about 60 TC 10, 0 CC

The water is CRYSTAL clear. I use Bleach to chlorinate. Used Muriatic to lower pH last summer. Rain, I believe, is the main culprit for the acidity. We've probably gotten about 20" total since we closed. Over 10" came over 4 days at xmas. Been using the methods here since we opened to a...

We had a TON of rain over the winter, to the point the pool was nearly overflowed (epic flooding), so my chemistry is as messed up as I've seen it in a while. Even when it was green, my pool wasn't putting out numbers like this. Wondering exactly how to approach this so as to not screw it up...
