This has been a weird one the past few days. Our pool is just under 10k gallons. It is a combination pool/spa where the hot tub has a spillway even with the pool water. Under normal operation in the summer for the past three years I occasionally have to use a little acid to bring the ph down...

Yeah, umbrella holder. If it's installed correctly you'll be fine. It's embedded in concrete under there. Just don't use an umbrella with a wooden pole as it will swell and can get stuck. Try to find one with an aluminum pole. We have these on our bench and our tanning ledge and they're easy to...

I am 99.999 percent positive they did not. I did the fill of the pool and then they started the pumps when I was there and they did the chemical start up (acid start) when I was there also. So I watched them put the muriatic acid in the pool and the chlorine pucks in the feeder, etc. Nothing...

Pool is just under 10k gallons. Not big. About 9800 gallons roughly. And to your point, this is exactly why I cannot figure out how my CYA is at 71. That would take about 24 3" chlorine tabs going into my pool, with no water top off, overflow, etc. from January until now and there is no way I've...

No mental block on chlorine for me. I completely understand chloramines, smell, irritation, etc. If I have the chlorine out of the feeder and the mineral cartridge as well, there is no need to remove the feeder from the plumbing line though. It's not blocking any flow at that point right?

Yes, I do need to get the FAS-DPD add on for my test kit. Just haven't ordered it yet. Water is perfect looking honestly. No issues at all. Crystal clear and the pool looks amazing. So the Nature2 is not OK to leave the additional filter pack in there either? The PB sold me on that as a way...

Our pool was finished in December 2020 and has been up and running with chemicals since just after the new year. Pool was built with an inline chlorinator (Nature2 mineral system) so it's been running that, set as low as it will go since we added chemicals. I am getting more into really learning...

New to the forum. Wife and I put in a pool last year. It finished in December 2020. So it’s been up and running a few months now. Had a pool growing up but haven’t maintained one in years so I’m sure I’ll have questions.
