Moved from HERE. I have experience with this issue as I found my 2 year old pool had faded and was not as glossy below the water line last spring and I thought this could be the reason. I was following the TFP pool water chem stats and I will admit not that well during winter of 2018. I had...

I've been working on mine with a similar issue that I hoped was a chemical imbalance for a couple of weeks and some days it seems a little better but I did not raise my CH above 225 ( when I noticed the issue my CH was 150-175). My PH has constantly drifted to 7.8 and then I would lower but even...

gwtw Can you tell me how long it took for your problem to go away? Thanks

Hope! Were you able to rectify your situation?

Ok. After being hit twice today about "high" chlorine in my pool I have to ask are there definititive studies other than experience that support the increasing ratio of CL related to CYA? Or any FB pool owners that have not had issues with following TFP recommended levels for their pools over...

Thanks! I appreciate your post that helped inform my decision. I love it so far. Had to adjust water level so it I didn't get stuck in my overhang but it was well worth the money to me as it picked up all the floating stuff even while we were enjoying the pool yesterday. It also had cleaned all...

I had ordered one from Pool Supplies Unlimited and just looked up this thread. The older model was $579 with free shipping but I noticed the comments about the better quality in updated one, cancelled that order and went on Solar Breeze website where they have the NX2 with 50.00 off and free...

Hi! I cleaned my salt cell for the first time after getting the inspect cell light. Cleaned I thought according to directions with 4:1 water muratic acid solution with stand and solution for 15 minutes. Rinsed with fresh water. I did however, cover all components as the electric cord was on...

Thanks for that input. Right now, I'm inclined to do the same.

Sorry, yes I bought it from TFTestkits.net. - - - Updated - - - that's encouraging. Any tips? I gently stirred in the test water like directed. Do you submerge in distilled water after each use? How do you care for yours after testing?

Bought ATC digital PH reader from TEST100 based on recommend. Calibrated it yesterday and all seemed well when pool tested 7.9. I added the recommended muratic acid to get to 7.2 from Pool Math. Excited to use it today and it measures 7.6. My safety kit test reads aprox 7.3 per color which is...

I saw some bleach labeled "outdoor" couldn't remember concentrations but had sodium hydroxide also. Is that okay for pool?

I am gettting the same thing as my chlorine levels are getting back down to normal from adjustment to my SWG. New to testing myself and a couple of times prior the pool store guy told me to shock the pool once with a trichlor product and a non chlorine product and for a period I did have 0...

Thanks so much! That's what I did and it's back to normal.

Thank you everyone for the input. I do have a cartridge filter and will add that to my signature. I also have a waste drain and that is what I used to drain the water back to normal. Had a panic when I saw the water spewing from the pump gasket after I have tried lever's which function I had no...
