I guess I'll work on that Friday when I'm home next. Kinda excited about being on this side of cya vs the other for sure That makes Sense brett

I brought my buddy a bottle of our water to test this morning. He sent me the results once he got home with his k2006 kit. FC 1.5 CC 0 PH >8 TA 220 CH 160 CYA 0 so looks like my results were pretty close to his. Wife added a bunch of MA this morning and will continue with the slam until all...

For sure. I'll look into them again. Anything would be better than what we are doing currently. For you to zero in on that tells me your a huge supporter and defender of salt water pools. Trust me, I'd love to go to one. My PB and I went round and round about them. He hates them but also loves...

I think we're in the home stretch. Having this low of cya has made a slamm very easy to maintain I guess. my wife has added a timer to her phone to remember to add chemicals. She works nights too so it's lots of obstacles to overcome. I don't hours of research when we built the pool. I know...

I would love to do that but we have close friends with a swg and they have flag stone and dogs like we do. They flag stone is ruined and the pool is 8 years old or less. We also went to some friends this weekend that have a salt water pool also and everything around it is rusted and the area...

It has been a few months now that I think about it. I work (around 80-100) hrs per week and messing with the pool isn't as high on my priority list as it should be. Myself or my wife will add chlorine or acid as needed usually by just using the little kit to keep us going. Coming home and...

Finally was able to get the test results. Cya showing zero which is a huge surprise. Where did it go? Makes me wonder if my chemicals are bad. Going to get a buddy to test it with his kit before adding stabilizer. TA was 240 and CH is 200. That explains why I'm going thru so much acid. Guess I'm...

Ill go outside with my tf-100 and magnetic stir base and run all the tests. I don't have any use for a pool store brett

No, haven't tested the water with the test kit in a while. Just started scrubbing and pouring in bleach until we can get to town today and stock up on bleach. At that point I'll be getting full test results and formulating a plan. Brett

Our pool is about 15 months old. We have been thru 1.5 of those big tubs of tabs while trying to get everything figured out with the pool. I'm gone a lot and my wife works nights so the tabs were easy until we got used to the pool. I tested my cya a few weeks ago and it was in the 60-70 range...

Well besides me losing or having it stolen out of the truck a $464 gift card to Home Depot we have been trucking along. We were able to get 18 4' led shop lights hung and wired and also installed almost 40 plugs. At this point I'm glad I'm not an electrician. As far as the shop, it appears the...

Is the pool done yet and you have taken over or is it still UC? I was worried about the same thing with mine and the PB just want done with it. He had them seal it and it looks great! brett

Started getting moved into the shop today. I love it. It still needs the doors hung which was supposed to have happened today and didn't and about 5' of trim installed. Really loving the size and openness. Hung a 50' length of construction lighting to get me by until my shop lights get here and...

Yeah...don't really know. They are... 25+5 gooseneck tandem dual 8x14 gooseneck dump trailer 18' bumper pool 4x8 utility 37' fifth wheel toy hauler 3-m1101 aluminum military trailers they just seem to accumulate. Might need to thin the herd but I hate needing to borrow one. Lindsay has given...

I have at last count 8 trailers I think. Will probably just keep the GN dump and dovetail under it for now until it's party time than we will use it for a covered area. Still trying to find some bump bump for the sound system too! We're heading home today and I'm back at work Monday but tues...
