    Doing the Ascorbic Treatment

    Use sequestrant or use polyfill in returns? Sequestrant is a long term battle also from reading here. Polyfill would catch the metals and sequestrant can't be used for that method (again from reading).

    Ascorbic Acid treatment and Sequestrant follow up

    I only have one skimmer (I asked for two but PB was awful). If I fill it with polyfill, do I leave for a month, change it out every week? The other filters are for filling I think ...would have been great then, but PB ...he also was sued by neighbor for similar. If we'd known that was going...

    Metal stain help

    My fill water went in green. It is brownish/green in the bathtub at times, other times it's clear. 🤷🏼‍♀️ City claims we have excellent water and no metals. But there's a clean out in my yard they haven't used in 18 years, and we're the end of the street (Cul de sac) So no telling what kind of...

    Metal stain help

    Hi. I just posted similar . Ascorbic Acid treatment and Sequestrant follow up (see for links to sequestrant information). It seems sequestrant has a set of problems in prolonged use. I'll update my post with my results. Ascorbic Acid has worked great for me, but the stains come back due to my...

    Ascorbic Acid treatment and Sequestrant follow up

    I am again about to endeavor to use Ascorbic Acid treatment to remove plaster staining. My plastic is NOT stained, but the plaster has been stained since day 4 after build in 2019. I have treated a few years, but didn't 2023 or 2022 (I think) mainly because the cost of sequestrant, the amount...

    What's your current pool temp?

    Mine was a wonderful 91° all on Solar power, even with a bad thunderstorm in the middle of the night. So nice to not have the heater running.

    Heater service light

    Apparently there's a defrost that was on and has an "open". Turned that off since we aren't cooling and heat is working fine.

    Heater service light

    Do we attempt to fix or is there still warranty? I'm guessing per your instructions there's no warranty. We've run it 10 times or so. Just lucky I guess.

    CYA test says zero, but should I add more?

    I'm not help, but just wanted to say I lost all my CYA between September and May. I wasn't testing it those months and we have had tons of rain too. So my fear of CYA never leaving is gone. Lol I've been adding it in small doses because I'm still cautious. TLDR I'm in your situation too

    Heater service light

    It says: Alarm status Low Ambient Temp My interpretation is just that. A heat pump pulls heat from the air. The outside temp is 73°, the water is 84°, the pump is set on 88°. So it's just saying nope there's no heat to pull from the air? Just want to be sure we don't actually need service...

    CYA danger?

    The CDC is now recommending that public pools reduce CYA. "the industry is starting to change about CYA. Some areas are already banning its use. Here’s an interesting article https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.orendatech.com/cyanuric-acid%3fhs_amp=true I also noticed CYA is a lot more costly...

    Borates wanted

    Also there's several threads that say it will go up slightly (experienced) So I'm asking am I too low to go with boric acid now?
