    First Time Poster-Help balancing TA and Chlorine levels

    Hi Leah, I've recently been through a CYA lowering process where my local pool store had me at between 110ppm and 130ppm multiple times. When I got my reagents for the Taylor test, I was consistently no higher than 90 (still higher than I needed for a SLAM in my particular case), so take those...

    Raising CYA Carefully: Liquid vs Dry Acids

    After being rescued from an aneurysm by the TFP data-driven testing epiphany, I'm now in a relatively good spot with my chemistry, but I'm looking to raise my CYA from 50 to 70 to boost the efficacy of my new SWCG. The generator I have is likely not sized right for my small 7k gallon pool...

    App Convergence

    Hey experts. Wasn't sure where to post this question but I'm sure it can be shifted if this ain't the right place. Haven't found a FAQ or forum post so here goes: Is it possible to sync a pool across two instances of the PoolMath app? My wife and I are tag teaming the testing regimen and she...

    Suggestions: Tote for Testing Supplies

    Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions on a waterproof / weatherproof tote for my testing supplies. I have the K-2006, the standalone Taylor NaCl kit and the speed stirrer, and I'd like to keep them all in one box and away from the elements. Circumstances dictate that I can't always keep this...

    Help !! Frame level all the way around BUT

    As was said earlier - the frame segments might all be level(ish) with their neighbors, but the ground underneath the liner itself is what really matters to the water. Unless you perfectly and flawlessly leveled the entire area under the pool - and in relation to the posts - some deviation is...

    ALGAE

    I've just been through this ordeal and happy to say with patience and attention to the SLAM Process, I'm now good to go. Knowing what I know now, and how many different components there are to balanced water, I can't believe I made it through two prior seasons just by tossing a bag of shock in...

    Is Quikrete sand ok?

    I used the Quikrete Pool sand it in a smaller sand filter last year - as I recall the grain sizing was not called out on the packaging - it was perceptibly heterogenous (i.e., not filtered to #20 specifically) and it took me quite a long time to flush the particulate out of it on first use. It...
