You're not wrong but, its not happening. This is only the 3rd time I've drained in 12 years. I converted to salt two years ago and the only reason I drained this year was to acid wash the pool, it had never been done in my time of owning it.

We used to have a water softner, we took it out when it failed, Never replaced it. The one we had was undersized for the house in general to begin with.

Hi, out here in Arizona and just did an acid wash and refill on the pool. Still in the process of setting it up and been reading about borates, to help with calcium levels cause Arizona water is hard af. What levels should my TA and PH be at before adding them and what should the borate level...

I don't even see how that's possible. The robot has no clue where its at in the pool. It's basically a Roomba. My pool is basically square and my cord gets tangled

Arizona checking in. I told them to replace mine they didnt, I called them and they shipped me the correct stuff and I shipped back the old filters. Those fine filters are amazing!

Well I got my s200 pool Roomba. I had been previously using a suction side poolvergnuegen. It ran nightly and I have a vs pump so a few hours on high speed then like 3 hours on low. So my pool is fairly clean. I'm really skeptical of this robot. It's been going for about an hour now and I'm...

I want it for the wall scrubbing. My suction side dont do that!

My OCLT came back good as expected. I bumped the CYA to 60. Ive been using actual 10% chlorine, which is reasonably cheap. I need to find some good dollar store bleech that's 10%. Cardano and Carpainterinaz...have you found a good source?

Pool math....using it every day! My CC has been coming back 0 so I don't suspect anything is eating it, I suspect burn off. Ill do an OCLT tonight!

Arizona, 17K Plaster Current levels FC: 6 CC: 0 pH: 7.8-8.0 CH: 425 TA: 120 CYA: 50 Pool is clear everything seems to be fine. 10% Liquid Chlorine is fairly cheap here in Arizona (5.50 two gallons) so that's what I use because Im not sure I trust dollar store bleach (yet). Any way, I feel...

I am also in Arizona. I doubt you have a metal problem. However I had the same cya problem you had when we moved into this house, I did a full drain, chlorine scrub and refill on my 17K plaster pool. I raised my cya to 50 afterwords other wise the chlorine just burns off to fast. Im thinking of...

Like 7.6?

yesterday night it was ch was at 5 or 4.5 dont remember off hand. Also worth mentioning is CSI is .38 with a recomneded .18 dont know if that's good or bad.
