....quick question. I have my muriatic acid out in a storage box with my equipment. I wanted to raise my CYA a bit, so I got stabilizer(Clorox 100% CYA granules). Can this be placed in the same box, or should it be kept away from the muriatic acid? Thanks.

I'm not sure how else that can be read, but I get it.....it's easier to say 'sorry you took it that way' than 'sorry I said that'. Maybe our situation is just like this.... Uncensored - Key Peele - Text Message Confusion - YouTube Anyway, thanks for the help.....I think I have a grasp on...

Look, I'm new to this.....me and my daughter both have a fever......and the links on the site haven't been working so well the past few days. That's why maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been.... ....but what's your excuse for trying to be so mean? My pool guy was fired for the exact...

This is the thing that came with the recommended TF-100. It's just the color bar.....not the easiest to read.....it just says to add 5 drops. I viewed the vids on YT....is there another way to test chlorine levels that I'm not aware of? I did buy the magnetic mixer thing, which helps. The CYA...

Thanks....couple questions. Is it possible to just crank up the chlorinator for the chlorine? I get maybe not this time to get things under control.....but can I long term keep CC under control this way? I'm not really sure how CC and FC works yet. That would be 4 cups of M. acid correct? Is...

OK, used the new test kit for the first time today.....could use some help on the results. Tested water about a foot deep, at 5pm, with the pump off. Cl looks to be between 3-5.....hard to tell pH looks to be 7.8.....also hard to tell Alk 140 (15th drop had no change) FAS/DPD 6 drops = 3 FC /...

Thanks again for the help......I haven't even thought about the filter part yet. But my understanding, from a brief walkthrough a year ago....lol.....is this handle ...opens up to this drain....

I had a feeling something was off when testing the PH.....I'll wait till the new test kit gets here. PVC coupling, any chance you have a pic.....so I can get an idea of what i'm searching for. I'm guessing Home Depot.... I need to get a covered bin to store all my pool supplies. I'm assuming...

Ok, thanks.....three questions. The vacuum hose I got fits the head fine, but the other end is too small I guess.....it slips right in the return. It doesn't go far, and it appears to work fine. Think it's ok to continue to use this way, or will there be some problem in the future I'm not aware...

Hey guys, name is Jim. I've had my pool a little over a year now. I had growing concerns about the pool guy I was using....it started with a flat $90 a month. Eventually he started adding charges for 'extra' chemicals. I would ask him not to add them(and not pay for them) until they were...
