    Hurricane Matthew pool preparation. (Orlando). What to do before?

    Thank you. It is my first time with a pool and a hurricane getting close to my area. Any tips will be appreciate. I know that definitely it is going to overflow. If there is no power I wont be able to drain some water. I know the pool screen will be gone. :( Just "let it be" and deal with the...

    Concern about a little accident with reagent R-0013

    Hello everyone and Happy Fourth of July! I, by mistake, added to the pool water about 1 or 2 oz, maybe 3? :( of reagent R-0013. Do I need to worry about it or it is not a big issue since the amount was just a little? Is it safe to use the pool? My pool is 15k gallons. Thank you in advance...

    Getting air bubbles but only for a few seconds only when pump start.

    Hello. I noticed that when I start the pump and the valve for the main drain is open and the one for the vacuum is close no air bubble get out at all when the pump start. But, if I close the main drain and open the vacuum, leaving only the skimmer and the vacuum on, some air get out from one of...

    Can I start increasing my CYA now or fix my numbers first?

    I thought I read somewhere here that for FL it should be close to 60. I will maintain it the way it is for now and observe. I already got the CYA but it is not a waste. I will save it for the rainy season. When you mention to "see how my PH likes my TA, what do you exactly mean by that...

    Can I start increasing my CYA now or fix my numbers first?

    Good afternoon: I was planning today to add some granular CYA to raise my CYA level from 45-50 to 60-70. I did some test before. Here are my numbers. Chlorine 11 CC 0 PH 7.8 (not accurate because of the chlorine level.) TA...

    Granular CYA question

    Thank you for the fast response. What a coincidence. I just bought the sock and it happen to be "long lasting nylon". :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Granular CYA question

    Thank you. I decided to go to Home Depot and get the granular CYA, get a pool sock and then a floater, or maybe use the skimmer for faster results. I have a variable speed pump. It is my understanding that if I use the granular CYA I need to leave the pump running until it completely...

    Granular CYA question

    Hello! My current CYA is 45 and I want to get it to 60 because I live in Orlando, FL. I will use granular CYA with a pool sock. I read somewhere that if I don't want to put it inside the skimmer I can just add it to a floater? Or, can I add one tablet of chlorine to the floater and don't...
