here's something i saw, maybe fill with concrete? Pool Stool - Contemporary - Pool Toys And Floats - by ENVY Pool Products, LLC | Houzz I know... sketchy. and probably not very stable. I'll keep looking...

Hey everyone! Not quite sure what they're called, but we have a concrete "seat" about 24" under the surface of the water in the deep end. It's about 3-4 feet wide and about 18" wide (sticking out from the edge of the pool). It's underwater, and it's a seat people can sit on and stand on as...

I was following the PoolMathCalc app which suggests Dropping pH to 7.0-7.2 and then let the filter run (and my waterfall) to blow off the CO2 to get rid of TA, and thus lower that as well. In spite of my Acid Bombing of my pool, pH hasn't budged, slightly increased actually. Now I was told(by...

Hey!!! You guys are all TOTALLY awesome!! Thank you for the super fast replies!! (just updated my signature with all my stats) So here's my robot, named Proteus Maximus. And I wanted to attach a pic that I think may be contributing to my pH / TA problems. We have an elevated spa and the...

That's great, and thank you for such a rapid response. Here's my *only* further question: The only reason at all I have some confusion leftover is the ranges for CH in the PoolMath android app, which was created by TFP. That's where I got the 350-550 ideal range in my head (along with the...

Hi Everyone, 1st post here so go easy .... :) I did already search the forums and found a lot of varying information. I have a 13k gal SW pool and the Taylor test kit that includes salt water testing. I'm fine with all the tests, and have everything in normal, except for my CH is 250, and...
