Hi Max2K, Yes I have one of the test kits from the Pool School. My liner is plaster but my pool is 12 years old. Ok I will lower my PH to 7.2 and see if over time if that will lower the TA. Thanks for the help. Scott

Good afternoon. I am hoping that someone can help me figure out why I cannot seem to get my alkalinity down to the recommended level (80 to 120) My pool is a 10000 gallon, I am running a Hayward DE filter. My pump runs for 3 hours at 90% and 2.5 hours at 30%. I run a liquid chlorinator to...

HI Needsajet, Thanks for the heads up and it helps a lot. I want to install my new pump so I can start benefiting from the savings. Also thanks for the suggestions to look to see if they have a remote control for the wall that would make it so much easier.

Good evening. I just purchased a new pump (Badu EcoMV 2.4 HP Pool Pump (EcoMV/72-V) ) and realized the pump control is attached to the motor and can not be relocated or reversed. So I want to reverse my pump so my motor is in the front compared to the way it is now (pictured attached ) Can I...

Thanks Duraleigh :)

Thanks everyone I just wanted to check before I spent the money on stabilizer and find out that wasn't what I need. I dont have 100% trust in the pool store.

Good Morning, does anyone have any suggestions on the most economical way to increase my CYA? We drained our pool and refilled it so our CYA is 0. THe local pool store said to put in Chlorine Stabilizer. Scott

Good evening, I am hoping someone might be able to help me figure out what I am doing wrong. We have 10000 gallon plaster pool. We just drained it 2 weeks ago and acid washed it and refilled it. Been getting the chemicals back in order. Tonights results are listed blown. We are noticing...

Hey MarianParoo, Thanks Yeah I am working on increasing my FC and CYA as I type. I will test tomorrow morning to see what my new numbers are. I am happy that my new numbers are not maxing out all the test so it was a good accomplishment. I did the Acid wash as the pool was drained and I am...

Hi Needsajet, Well I drained my pool and did a chlorine wash and then an acid wash. It wasnt fun and I wouldnt recommend it specially when it is 100 degrees out side. I do say the pool looks a lot cleaner and most of the stains came out. So after draining the pool I just have to increase my...

Hey Rossterman, thanks for suggesting to check with our water company. I called today and it should cost about 101.00 to refill 8000 gallons.

Thanks for all your help Needsajet. I will keep you posted on how it goes next weekend and post a photo and results. :)
