Dear BBB method....because of you I can see every little speck of dirt on the bottom of the pool 6 feet down while standing 6'1'' tall. Because of you I expect my water to be crystal clear all the time and when you are not I can tell instantly.....because of you after Tropical Storm Debby...

Pool stores also sell a SWG stand that snaps into the bottom of the cell and then you can fill the inside with the mixture without getting the exterior wet at all. It just basically caps the bottom of the cell allowing you to fill the inside. I saw it the other day and it looked like a clever...

82 degrees in Tampa....been swimming for 3 weeks now.

Just had the SWG isntalled on Thursday, the pump is primed and has no bubbles in it , however at the returns I hear a slight gurgling/bubbling and see little bubbles coming out from return and little bubbles sort of stuck around the return eye. Is this the SWG as I have read, or can there be a...

Ok thanks....very new to this, I tested 4 ppm Sunday morning and 0 Monday night so that would make sense if it consumes 2-3ppm a day, that would have been two days I guess....I will start keeping a tighter eye on it till I get a better feel of what it consumes and it's characteristics...

Need help I gotta crazy question..you can see my test numbers above that I took yesterday. I added 70 oz of calcium hardness just to see where that put me then I was going to add the other 70 oz or so. I tested my FC just now and it was zero !!!! It was full sun all day today and...

No they get filled with plaster while they do the pool finish.

I went to Walmart but could not find any HTH products, just Aquatech in their pool section....they were clueless when I asked. Did they change brands or names that anyone is aware, or are the products not in their pool section?

So If I aerate by turning on the waterfall and fountain, how much of a rise would I see in the course of a day. Or is aerating something that takes days and days?

I bought Arm and Hammer All Natural Super Washing Soda.....is this the correct stuff that can be used to raise pH . Thanks

Just wrapped up our first party with the new pool. Below are the numbers from my full test. I think I am going to stop using the trichlor pucks now that the CYA seems to be where I need it. Any advice on the numbers please help, I think FC is running high I assume I just let that burn off...
