I ordered the TF-100 test kit along with the Salt test strips. Should have it in a few days and will run all of the tests and post the results. I am going to let the pool just run for a few days and test everything once I get the kit then make any adjustments then. Thanks again for everyone's...

I had the water tested this morning at a different pool place FAC: 2.0 pH: 7.8 TA: 80 CYA: 30 Calcium Hardness: 150 Salt: 3,000ppm My pH went up from 7.6 and the Salt went up from 2,900. It has been raining lightly off and on since last night. I was told the rain water should lower the pH...

I brought a water sample to a pool store near me. I don't know if the guy was drunk, stoned or still asleep. But he was a complete idiot. He kept measuring things and NOT telling me the numbers! He went through all of the pool water. I kept asking him for numbers and he said they are good...

I added the salt then ran the pump 24 hours before turning on the SWG.

Just to give a brief update. My wife couldn't find CYA at Home Depot and didn't have time to run around to different stores so she stopped at a Pool Store and bought a gallon because they said the powder would take more than a week to dissolve and we wanted this in immediately. I had turned on...

Thanks, I will have her get whichever she can find. I will get the test strips when I get home tonight and see what the readings are. Really appreciate the help.

Since you are saying I need 3lbs, is it a powder or a liquid? If liquid does it need to be weighed? I checked the pool stores site and they show it in gallon jugs as well as smaller sizes but it is all liquid. I just want to make certain my wife gets the right stuff before pouring it into the...

It should be Zero since all that's in the water is ~140lbs of Salt. Thanks, I will have my wife pick some up and pour it into the water.

Thanks, any ideas how much I should purchase? I can have my wife get it today and pour it in while the pump is running. Should I turn off the SWG or leave it running as I currently have it?

One more question. Before I get the salt figured out and can get the Cyanuric Acid level up. Would it be alright to swim in the pool tomorrow? The water is crystal clear, looks exactly as it looked when I first filed it Tues/Wed. We have about a dozen people coming over for a lunch pool...

I was already on the train when I replied to the thread before. Just got to the office... I can't do anything until I get home tonight. I guess I will not be having a pool party tomorrow at my house. :( I will get the water from 2' down and bring it for testing. I can stop at Home Depot and...

I double checked and the bags are 40. I bought 4 of them. Walked around the pool and poured the salt in for each bag. Then I weighed out 15lb from the 4th bag and poured that in. The only thing I didn't do was weigh the bags before pouring then in. Maybe they aren't actually 40? Al I have are...

Linen, I have the Easy Set Pool which is 5,455 gallons. The 6,423 is for the Circular Metal Frame Pool.

I have an 18' x 48" Intex Easy Set pool which is approx 5,500 gal. I put in 135#'s of salt as stated by Intex. I ran my pump for 24 hours then turned on the Intex SWG. Within 5 min it threw a Code 91. I turned off the SWG then back on and 15 min later is blew the Code 91 again. I can't...

Thanks for the info and pics. Mine are all gray, not that that matters. I will unscrew them tonight and swap them. Thanks. If you didn't use those posts then what did you use and why? Larry Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
