Thanks Richard,

In the pool school, they said "You increase CH with calcium chloride", but I can find Calcium hypochlorite easily here. Thanks,

Thanks duraleigh,

I'm sick looking for CYA here in Thailand, so I'm about to start using Trichlor to rise up my CYA level. It seem like I need to add 2 kg. to rise CYA to 40 ppm, I plan to add it 100 g. a day (truning my SWG off). Is that a good idea? My trichlor is in form of powder, not as fine as flour but...

Try a Chemical shop and ask for Isocyanuric acid, it come in tablet. I'm in Bangkok, Thailand with the same problem (Pool shop don't know what CYA is). A Chem shop in my town have Isocyanuric acid for sale in bulk of 25 kg. for about 3,000 Baht (4,000PHP , 100USD).

Thanks linen , jblizzle. I think my confusion is that I think chlorine kill algae, but it seam like what we want is to prevent algae to start. Then the trick is do what ever not to lower FC below the minimum. I think I got it.

First of all, If that 280 is in the pool before you, so I think it should be working without adding universal fitting you have been added. I pretty sure the powerful return with the jet head is removable and then you can attached your Polaris to that port. Here is the Polaris connection. And...

I'm confusing after reading pool school section. I know that sun light consume chlorine, so why should I run my SWG at day time? Is it better to run in late evening and leave chlorine to work all night?

I just got my TF-100 Test kit and this is my result. PH 7.4 / TC 1.2 / TA 30 / CH 150 / CYA (I still can see the black dot after empty the solution) I will have to add many chemical, which I will follow the "Water Balance for SWGs" in Pool School section. By the way I still have some question...

Re: New homeowner and pool newbie...whats the best pool vac I just got Polaris 360 today, and I can't pass the pressure test, the pressure test kit is included in the box. Anyway I have it a try, it walk and vac across the pool and stuck in the corner for a while, back off and continue to vac...

Re: New homeowner and pool newbie...whats the best pool vac I just order a Polaris 360 pressure side with out booster pump. just because I don't like to fill up the suction hose every time I attached it to the suction port (skimmer). I will be able to tell if it is good (or bad) when I have it.

It seem like I can't find CYA here in Thailand. Try to call all the pool shop around and the answer is they don't know what I'm talking about. Try to call Chemical shop and found one have isocyanuric acid in stock, but they sell it in bulk of 25 Kilogram (50 pound). So I'm thinking about using...

While I'm waiting for the TF-100 test kit to arrived. I call local pool shop and ask if they have CYA. They don't know what I'm talking about and ask me to hold the line. They return and told me that they have some kind of chlorine powder called "Trichloroisocyanuric acid powder 90%". Is this...

I'm focusing at Dolphin M4, as it easily purchase in the US (and be able to use with 220V). Do you have any suggestion? P.S.I have my sibling in the US, he can buy stuff and ship it to me.

I'm in Bangkok, Thailand. We only have 220v here and I don't want to use a step down transformer to 110v and then use the power supply to step it down again to 24V. I'm sure Dolphin can work with 220V, I just would like to make sure I don't miss other brand that can work with 220V.
