Thank you for the information. I will work to stay on top of it. Appreciate all of your help through this.

I just added 7 cups of MA to get my pH down. Tested the water coming from our filler: ph 8.0 TA 140 I am guessing I am going to just have to deal with the tap water having high values and stay on top of them? I would imagine that unless I am constantly filling a large amount, it wouldn't sway...

I am done with the SLAM process. FC this morning was at 12 still after the overnight test. Just ran all the tests again and this is where I am at: FC 5.5 pH 8.0 TA 150 CH 375 CYA 30 Tackle pH first, which will hopefully lower TA and keep it down. Then add stabilizer to raise my CYA to 70?

Regarding the spa and spill over: We have a 6 port valve that rotates which pop ups are actually on at any given time. 2 of those pop ups are in the spa resulting in the spill over during the normal valve rotation. I have the SWG hooked up to a separate timer so that it is only on when the pool...

Thank you Dom, Jason and Jim. I will start the SLAM process today. My spa water does spill over into the pool as those pop ups switch around. Overall there is lots of motion in the water during the 12 hours the pump is running at a higher RPM. Any recommendations on pump speed during the SLAM...

Hi, It seems that I need to add MA almost every other day to keep my pH level down. FC 1.0 CC 0.0 ph 8.2 TA 140 CH 375 CYA 30 I have my SWG running about 12 hours to keep FC in the system. My pump is also running at 2800 RPM during that time. I have a couple questions: Are the pop ups causing...

Thanks to both of you for the help. I will work on pH and FC today. We will be going with liquid chlorine for now. Eventually we will look at doing a SWCG but need to think on it for a bit.

Thanks for the heads up on Step 8. That was not included in the Kit test steps so I will need to make sure to add that to my list. For chlorination I am just doing Shock and tab float(which is obviously not working). I am going to start with chlorine bleach now to bring up my FC this week. We...

I have struggled all summer with keeping chlorine levels up in my pool which gets direct sunlight for most of the day. I have added a shade sail over the pool to help provide some shade. I had been going to the pool store for water tests but finally purchased my own testing kit(TF-100 - XL with...

Thanks a bunch. I believe that confirms what I found on Google image search. Thanks again!

Can anyone identify my pool pump? The motor is Magnetek but I can't for the life of me find the actual pump manufacturer. I scoured the internet for the shell logo which is about all I can make out from the pictures. The closest looking pump I can find is the Pentair Challenger based on the...
