The dirt (discolored substance) came out right after the acid hit the bottom suction of the pool so I am 99.99% sure it had something to do with the acid, I read on the forum that if you pour acid on calcium build up it breaks it down which is what I assume has happened, this being said the...

Hi everyone, while opening the pool this year I noticed crystallization on the walls and floors of the pool, after searching around on the forum we came to the conclusion that the PH of the water was high, we poured in 4L of acid to bring down the PH and took care of balancing the rest of the...

I bought some chlorine pucks and jimmy rigged it in a basket it in the pool with two pucks. I have a salt cell but since I do not get home until around 8 in the evening I thought it would support the existing salt cell. I hope I did not do anything that would somehow damage anything in the pool.

I am not sure what csi is but cya is 0

The readings are: CC: 1 FC: 1 PH: off the charts CH 240 TA: 110 any ideas?

Hi Everyone, we opened the pool up yesterday and today while I was vacuuming the pool I noticed small crystals, much larger than what pool salt typically looks like on the walls and floors of the pool, It is extremely difficult to scrap off and safe to say almost impossible, I am wondering if...

Mine lasts about 45 mins, that being said its still new so I would not be surprised if the run time diminishes over time as its normal with any battery device, even the Tesla model S loses its battery capacity over time.

thanks for the reply, I have left the blue valve as shown in the above picture in the open position, even when in filter mode it is still open. Hopefully I am following along correctly.

Thanks,my question is: do I need to close the valve after switching from either backwash or waste back into filter mode.

thanks for the replies! the other question I had was: does the valve that contols the waste port and backwash need to be closed or open, right now even with the pump off but valve in the open position I can hear water running when switching to waste port, no sound when switching back to filter.

Hi everyone, we have rain for the next 2 days (3-4 inches) and my pool is already very full. I wanted to drain the pool a couple of inches as it does not look like there is any overflow basin built into the pool. From my limited knowledge I think I can switch the port on the sand filter to...

I bought the pool blaster max yesterday for a very large gunite pool, almost 60,000 gallons. we opened the pool in late may and it has not been cleaned until June 26th, the pool was filthy but the "pool blaster max" did a great job of cleaning it, I did have to empty and wash the filter 4-5...

I found a great channel on youtube with tons of info on common questions about pools, here is one about how to use the K-2006 test kit that many here recommend. I think we should sticky the video somewhere How to Use a Taylor Complete FAS-DPD Pool Water Test Kit K-2006 - YouTube

saw your post on another thread. $1200 seems like the best price I've seen, anywhere else I check its around $1500.

Thank you for the link, unfortunately my current test kits do not give me measurements for 3 of the requirements. K-2006 test kit is supposed to be here mid July which is quite a long time away. The test strips also don't give an accurate reading.
