Many thanks for this explanation Ike, I will check this in the next months. For now, I just want to have this pool running like this and maybe fine tuning it in the future. My test kit include a CYA test so this is good! I just jumped in the water today to check the bottom drain. I adjusted...

This is exactly what I found. If you have a slight ripple on the surface, the skimmers works best. At first, I pointed them down and found to have a lot of dust accumulating on the surface (the pool is a waddling of 2 feets deep). Since they are a bit on the surface side, the water is crystal...

I don't have any CYA in the water since the chlorine is unstabilized. I never tested it also, but I never heard of adding CYA in a indoor pool. In witch aspect the CYA helps you, I'm curious! Less chloramines? I thinks the target here is around 1-3ppm FC, the controller that manage this is set...

Hi folks! I have now the two pool filled. During the filling, the Ph was around 8 at because I was running the pump to circulate the water trough the heaters and I think the aeration caused the Ph to rise. PH is now at 7.5 thanks to the acid feeder and the temperature is at 74 and still going...

So aluminum is not welcomed in pool. That's what I thought. Yeah... A lot of work... Thanks again Lion!-)

The more I look at it, the less optimist I am... I think I will have to use sand blast to deep clean this. In your opinion, witch water chemistry parameter was wrong for this to happen, low PH? A lot of work to do. Each stair have this aluminum edge...

Re: Aluminum repair in tile pool. What do you mean by "exposed"? I think that the aluminum was painted or something similar. Do you say that this is a bad construction? A supplier is suggesting me this epoxy aluminum putty, will it last with the chlorine environment, given that it is well...

Hi! I have severe corrosion on the aluminium edge of the stair in a tile pool. The aluminium is all pitted and looks like cavities... Does anybody have a tip for the best product to use. I was tinking of a two part epoxy aluminium putty, but wondering if anybody had better suggestion or...

Hi everybody. I just found this nice and complete document about pool operation. It is a nice complement to the pool school and worth reading I think, especially for the commercial/public pool operator. It is the kind of print and read document that everybody will benefit of. Best regards...

I was thinking of a SWG, but I am a little bit worried about the salty environment that this will create. The stainless steel here is 304 I think, not 316 and I think we should replace all the ladders. Is anybody here had made this kind of switch and if so, are they satisfied? The biggest...
