The pool company is supposed to be handling my first 30 days of chemical service, however they have only showed up to start the equipment and said they would be back next week. I did find the start up instructions on the NPT site, but they don’t really give the order to add chemicals and such...

Not yet, the pool was just filled last Saturday (5/20), so I have 3 more weeks before salt is added and swcg is started.

The CYA was put into the skimmer in a thin sock. I let it soak and then squeezed it to get it all dissolved. The chlorine was added 25 hours ago. To add the 6ppm of chlorine, I found a calculator online and for 15,000 gallons currently at 0ppm. I would need to add 112oz of 10%Chlorine to equal...

I tried to attach a picture and I guess it didn’t load.

My CYA is slowing rising. I added a 4lb bag 2 days ago. I don’t know how long it takes to fully register on the tests so I don’t want to add too much. The pool has full sun until about 6pm and is burning through all chlorine daily. I added the recommended 56 oz yesterday and it’s gone. It’s...

Sadly, my PB is less than helpful, so I had to reach out to more knowledgeable people. Their instructions for me was to let them know when it’s full and they will send someone out to start the equipment w/in 72 hours. I have read the articles you mentioned, I’ve been brushing and using the net...

The pool completed filling on Saturday 5/20. The pool company sent someone yesterday (5/22) to start my equipment. They are supposed to take care of the pool balance/chemicals for the first 30 days. He started the equipment and made sure it was running properly, but didn’t add anything to the...

Can anyone point me to where it says how deep the bonding halo for a gunite pool should be buried? I’ve got about 15’ laying on the ground and the pool company is saying “most people just put some mulch on top of it”.

I messaged the PB this morning and haven’t heard back. I know the drain isn’t plugged and I just looked in the skimmer and there is water in there as well, probably from rainfall through the holes in the lid. We have overnight lows in the 20’s for the next several days, so I would have hoped...

The main drain is what I’m concerned with. I believe they already put the covers on them, but would have to drain and get the leaves cleaned out to see. If the covers are on the drains, do they just twist off?

My pool has about 2 ft of standing water in the deep end. How concerned should I be with the water and pipes during freezing weather? I’m in TN, so the weather will go up and down, but this morning I can see the water is icy. I’m already way beyond my expected completion date and would hate to...
