Thank you everyone for your feedback! Lonnie, thank you for sharing your experience with me. I wonder if something like that is possible with mine. How old was your pool when you had that done? Kim-I cannot see the prints during the day but if i run my fingers over the area I can feel the...

yes we did tell them we need it in writing that if we do not like the fix that it will not be accepted. So until we get that nothing will happen. They keep reassuring us we will not be able to notice where it was sanded but I am really questioning that. I tried to google it and see if I could...

My pool was completed a few months ago and ever since then we have been going back and forth with the PB about the footprints in our pool they left behind. We tried to get them to just compensate us instead of messing around with it but they would not give us the amount of money we thought...

I have no re tested it because I had to dump it in and left the house 20 mins later. I will test when I get home in a couple hours. My friend sold those systems for his job so knows all about them and how to calibrate. He did tell to disregard the salt reading because he hadn't calibrated it...

No specific reason other than that is what the PB changed it to. I will go ahead and lower it a couple hours. Thanks!

My friend came by and tested my pool. He has a system called waterlink spintouch which he said is a $700 machine (he used to sell them) and is very accurate. It did yield some different results from what the pool store gave me which does make me question them. I will say after I added another...

it is. i will try doing smaller increases from now on. thanks!

Also forgot to list MA strength, it is 31.45%

Also my SWG is usually left on 10% and is run 8 hours a day. Chlorine got low so we turned it up to 20% last week and it shot up to 8 so it is off at the moment.

Thank you everyone! Yes I have posted before about my ph battle. My husband is the one who normally handles the pool in our old house but is busy running a business so I am trying to get the hang of doing it myself. I just added MA myself for the first time a couple days ago. I have always...

The SWG they installed is made for pools up to 40k gallons and our pool is only 5k. Pool is over 2 months old and we can never get the ph under control no matter how much acid we add. ph was 8 and TA around 100 and we added 24 oz yesterday and ph stayed at 8. I am wondering if the SWG being...

ok thanks. not sure I will be able to convince my husband to do that but I will give it a try.

Yes I believe it was bromine. Is there a way to remove it? What will it do to make it more difficult to manage?

I guess what I was trying to say was we managed our pool fine and after 10 years it was still in good condition. Maybe we got lucky before. That is why we are hesitant to change what we do. I did not necessarily want to spend time checking several different chemicals. We used to weekly check...

Is there any other way to get chlorine down other than turning off the percentage to zero? I tried that last time and it did nothing after a few days so that'swhen we added the yellow algae killer. We get zero sunlight on our pool this time of year and the water has been cold which makes the...
