Totally awesome transformation! Love it! :D Whatever became of the disappeared cya situation? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

I would say to start with some good photos showing the area of concern. Thanks for the acknowledgment, it's good to know I'm not entirely off base here. :) Sometimes just a fresh set of eyes, a clear head that has had the opportunity to decompress and reset, and fresh new ideas can make all...

My gears are turning here, wondering why the op is getting such a persistent pH rise with no SWCG and long since cured plaster. Could it possibly be somewhere in the plumbing that there occurs a high rate of turbulent water due to a minor constriction, or a wacky elbow setup, or tee, or even a...

Who slaves over a sink with pool tests? ;) I do it pool side and just let it spill out onto the grass. Wham, bang, done. SWEET! :D Much prettier outside too. Best purchase I forced myself to make. Keeps my sanity. HEHE The syringe is a good idea though. In fact, why not just use a syringe...

HAHA, I have that link in my Sig.... now why didn't I think of that?? Lols Thanks for the reminder. :D This will have to wait till I get back from my trip helping a friend move out here from Chicago Land to the Pacific Northwest Haven!! :D Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Any help on this would be awesome!! :D Thanks everyone!! ^_^

That right there is PRICELESS!!! :D Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Dktexas, BTW, welcome to TFP! :wave: What sort of test kit do you have, and have you been reading pool school here? I'd say that fine white cloud you had before the drain and fill, was algae. Algae will generally pass through a filter while still alive. You should definitely work to get...

JohnN, Yes, good idea. I was going to suggest you start a thread, as maybe the minds here can come up with a reason as to your odd downward drift. As for this thread, I just keep my pH in range, 7.2-7.8, which requires ZERO work on my part. It just slooowwwly drifts up and then finds a happy...

If that were the case, then why would OnBalance not have stated that in his original thread? As I didn't glean that from his post. He uses the word "precisely", and even states a different weight for different pool volume ranges. He doesn't say, pick an amount desired to raise your TA. I would...

Bahaha, right?? :sly::what::D Just about! I think ma is somewhere around 1.5-1.9 pH. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 It's definitely your well water. Solar cover isn't going to lower pH, but keep it more stable than anything. Although I'm not sure, aside from outgassing as the main...

Thanks a bunch zea3!!! :D Glad to be back! ^-^ Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Aren't those Intex cartridge filters a blast? Try adding d.e. alternative cellulose powder, prepare for many cycles. Also 2 pairs of nylons over the cartridge. Lastly, don't clean it as much, or as well each time... filters better. :D Sand filter up and running soon, and GOOD RIDDANCE! to this...

I assume this is because of your very low pH fill water from your well? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Pride is such a viciously hungry god, isn't it? So so very very sad. :/ I'll pray for your friend. :) jblizzle, I can't afford to contribute money at this stage in my life, so instead, I try to help out as much as I can, giving back with the knowledge I have so gratefully learned here from...
