Peter, how do you put the liquid chlorine/bleach in to the pool?

Bonjour Peter! Do you have a regulator-pump for the chlorine? I'd be interested to know how much you used in the season too? And also, how are your Cya levels?

Ah, so the chalky line around the waterline when I first got the pool in June 2017 would have been calcium from the local hard water. This is what I used the anti-clacaire for, and it worked. Although I haven't used it for over a year and have not had the same chalky waterline. I do have a...

I looked before on the recommendation of TFP for the Taylor 2006 kit, today its 132€ on amazon.fr, very expensive, I think you guys can buy it for around 30 dollars. The Cya has always been high in this pool, I can only put it down to the Trichlore tablets and shock that are readily available...

I'm now very apologetic to admit I use the Mareva test strips and I do normally measure CC's, but annoyingly cannot remember the reading, but only that the FC was zero, non-existant. The link to the german spec. sheet is for granules, but I guess the liquid I used is similar. It will be...

I may of misunderstood the way this product works, but here it is....Calcinex Anti-calcaire 3L BAYROL Anti-tartre - Piscine Shop I imagined it would help combat higher calcium levels if it became a problem after using non-stabilised chlorine tablets, or shock.... Its possible to buy liquid...

Wow! Only the day before yesterday I sent the client an email suggesting that! I also sent an Inyopools article on the system too, seemed a reasonably neutral article outlining the pros and cons of the salt system. I would change myself if it wasn't for the upfront cost at the moment. And I...

Thank you!

Hi, here in the South West of France, I use a pool specialist to close down my clients pool for winter. Sometimes he choses to empty the pump, partially empty the sand filter, drop the water level and leave the ice protection things in the skimmers (widgets?). On other occasions he will just...

Hi, I used to receive an email notification letting me know if someone responded to one of my threads. I don't remember changing anything in settings, but I'm not receiving them now. Can I reinstate the email notifications, I cannot find where to do it?? Thanks

I'm not a pool guy as such, but I maintain a few under a Property Management company, mainly because I am at the property doing the gardens...The problem I often encounter here is high Cya readings. I'm using the Mareva test strips for Free chlorine, Total chlorine, Alkalinity, Ph, Total...

Hi, I returned from holiday (8 days) to a mildly green pool. I did the normal of shocking with Trichlore pastels, 5kg at 6pm. The following morning the algae was worse, and no Free chlorine reading, so I shocked again with 5kg Trichlore pastels, again by the evening the algae was worse and I...

Crikey, with those temperatures I'd leave it on all year! Here in the South West of France, the season is normally June through August, but you hope to extend the season each end with the heat pump. Incidentally, we have had the wettest winter here for 50 years!! - - - Updated - - - Well that...

Thank you Texas Splash, here we are hopefully!
