Lol, okay, I do have that. I’ll be back with more questions?

Thanks Richard, I do changes out the nets promptly when they get yuk in them. I don’t have a bypass...signature above. appreciate you.

I forgot to mention my filter pressure is normally 14 psi but is 24. I’m opening the pool with algae but use hairnets to capture gunk. Do you think a backwash might help? The deal is it would only fill 3/4 before I started the filtering process.

Good morning Richard. Yes above ground. It’s not a bubble, it is only filling approximately 3/4 of capacity.

The circulation and skimming are good. A new o-ring was added, I checked to make sure the winterization plug is tight and pool water level is right. Any ideas to get the basket to fill? Thanks.

I highly recommend getting a speed stir! Best invention for testing your pool. These guys and gals on TFP have helped me tremendously and repeatedly.

Right! For some reason I mistakenly thought I had to maintain a TA level of at least 90 but now that I understand I can safely go as low as 60 TA I'm sure I will be stress free and able to keep my pH manageable. I want to thank all of the kind people on this forum for offering guidance and...

TA 100 pH 7.5 After adding 25 oz MA! Now that I know down to 55 TA will help me control my pH this summer! I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions. Thank you.

Thank you, I will keep the pump on.

Yes, you've advised me on that micro-managing earlier...guess I'm just hard headed?. Thank you, I appreciate your help. Getting started on the pH now.

THANK YOU for a direct answer?. I'll get to work on the high ph right now.....and that will bring th TA way down......I'll do the acid in 8 oz doses to avoid over shooting the target. How long after added should I test again?

Okay, I could live with 80 TA, my question is (since the pool math said MA will reduce TA 7.5) do I subtract 7.5 from 130 or do I subtract 75 from 130? That would result in a TA of 55? I don't think TA of 55 is a good idea. If I reduce TA to 90 will that bring my pH down?

I added liquid shock as soon I got the low chlorine reading this morning, I just wanted to post results that I had first sample this AM. ? Yes, I'm familiar with Pool Math, I have already did the pool math calculations. Calculator told me how much MA will lower both.....reducing TA by...

Yes, I'm trying to lower my pH.....it isn't going to go down on its own. I was asking how to do that without lowering the TA or lowing it as little as possible.

FC 2.5 CC .5 TT 3.0 TA 130 PH 8.2 CYA 30 After the instructions and explanation I've received yesterday on how to properly read my test results, this is my new results. I really don't know if the pH is higher than 8.2....pool math calculator indicates that adding 26 oz. 31.45 MA will reduce pH...
