Hi All! Couldn't find anything on this, but I suspect that I may have (dead?) algae growing near my equipment due to a leak somewhere in my inground pool plumbing. I noticed that a very small amount of water is dripping from the side of my water heater when the pump is on from the pressure...

Hmm ill give it another shot tomorrow. I have a in-line chlornator, but it's been turned off and empty since last season. I did add some water last week because i was running below the skimmer, so that could explain the TA. Does water temperature have something to do with it? We were getting...

Hey Guys, Very confusing situation, last week when i tested my water i was at a TA of 60, CYA of ~60. Re-tested today after gaining about an inch worth of rain water, and my TA is at 80, CYA of ~80. Testing was done at the end of the day, when the pump was on for >5 hours. Didn't add any...

Took my very first reading after ~4 days of the pool being opened by the local pool company... a throwback to science class! FC: 16 TC: 16.5 PH: 7 TA: 30 CH: 200 CYA: 70 I think I should wait a few days before taking reading and making the adjustments to my PH/TA/CH, or can I do this...

Hello! Like many other new users, I've inherited a pool as a new home owner and I'm excited for my first year maintaining it! I would first like to thank all the mods and users who keep up the great work of keeping this website going, and helping pool owners save a dollar or two! With some...
