I can say this are the current readings minus the CH: Chlorine 6 CYA 50 PH 7.5 Alkalinity is 120 This is pretty typical for my pool

I will go back to the house tomorrow and post test results.

I'll check the CH tomorrow. Here's the story: We are selling the house. I hired the pool company to pull up half of the liner to cut out what I thoughy was a 1" root sticking up. It's been there since they put the pool up 3 years ago. Turned to be rock amongst about 20 2" rocks that were...

How important is it to track calcium hardness in an above ground pool? Our pool store is telling me that I rusted out our pool wall because of calcium hardness.

I did several says ago I'll try again tonight/tmrw morning. What's the third criteria?

I went out of town and left the pool on care of family members. It was a little cloudy when I got home and now after a week it keeps getting worse. Wondering if I should go ahead and slam? Cl- 3.5 brought it up to 6 Cc - 0 Ph - keeps drifting up to 7.8 and more Cya- 50 Alk- 70

Still having problems with the cord.

Ok, I'll get the electrician back. Thank you.

I apologize, we have several things needing repair suddenly in our home and the pool thing seems very overwhelming. But, Here's the latest update with our pump/motor/power cord: Yesterday I went out and looked it all over and realized I haven't emptied the small basket on the pump itself for...
