The wrinkles are so small that you really cant see them until they collect dirt like in the picture... I'm more concerned with the fact that I can feel them when we are in the pool and when I vacuum my pool. Being that I can feel them I fear that the brushes on the vacuum will eventually wear...

Here late last summer I started getting these small wrinkles on the bottom of the pool.. and now there’s a lot more... If you’ve read my info and Specs you have seen that I have a buried 24’ AGP around 27” of the 54” buried with a polystyrene foam base... I have never had any issues with...

Hey everyone I’m looking for suggestions on Pumps and Filters!!! If you haven’t seen it in my Sig by now, Right now I currently have 2 “one is an extra”Hayward PowerFlo Matrix 1HP Pumps only one hooked up of course with a Hayward Pro Series 16” High Rate Sand Filter and I’m looking to upgrade...

Thanks for the feed back everyone... So at what water temp do you think I would get a more accurate reading? Should I hold off on adding anything to the pool as of now and let the water temp rise some to get a more accurate reading? My levels as of yesterday are... FC - 6 CC - 0 pH - 7.6 TA -...

Ok, So I haven’t been as vigilant as I usually am on checking my readings because of the colder than usual winter or weather we have had here in South Texas. But all has been good... I still have a sparkling clean pool and all my readings have been good for the most part... I haven’t checked my...

Sorry its taken so long to get back on I was out of town for a few days... Ok but I guess the only thing I'm not understanding is that the return line and the cell are always completely full of water so what difference should it make if it was vertical or parallel either way the gases should...

I have an Aqua-Rite SWG and it says very important cell must be mounted vertically is this right? I have my pool buried around 26” which is half way down and need to re-plumb because of flooding issues... I was wanting to keep all plumbing above ground for easy access so I didn’t bury the side...

Ok so I had to go out of town for a while after everything happened... but finally got around to vacuuming the pool and getting the remaining debris out of the pool today... So since the 28th I've only added a gallon of Clorox before I left town My which is what got my FC to 12 as stated in my...

Yes I do have that exact salt kit... ok so I tested and got FC - 12.0 CYA - 80 SALT - 3800 I figured any other tests would be pointless since my FC is up above 10.0 Still getting some pretty heavy winds so back to cleaning out more debris today...

Ok thanks for the quick responses yippee... I'll go ahead and let the SWG run and do what I can to get this back to where it needs to be... I will keep this thread going and can hopefully have a TFP Pool here soon...

Ok... ? I got out the net and pulled out all the debris and scrubbed the walls and floor with the brush... I won't worry about an OCLT... Tomorrow I'm gonna get up and vacuum the pool... I'm planning on so Should I be letting the pump and SWG run all night tonight since it hasn't ran in 3 days...

Ok Hurricane Harvey Hit and I just got back into town today to assess the damages... the house has been without power for like 2 to 3 days so I know the pump has been off since then... no damage to pool from what I can see but it is full of debris I think I have every leaf from corpus in the...

Yes the bird!!! He was injured and hanging out in my skimmer!!! Must have gotten sucked in when he landed in the pool... Scared the beejeebers out of me when I opened it up to vacuum the pool... good thing I was trying to recover from over chlorination cause I dropped from 17 yesterday at around...

I've already turned off the SWG and will watch my FC so it doesn't fall below my Range... As far as the pool this is our first season with this pool. But we are owners of previous pools just wanted to go bigger... The reason for wanting to do the borates was to see if I could get my pH and TA...

My CYA is 80... Yeah basically your right... I'll tell you what the pool is always real clear cause of TFP but I've never seen the water that Crystal Clear... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Ok so I run on a SWG and my pump is set to run from 6am to 11am and again from 6pm to 11pm FC usually stays around 7.0 to 8.0 which is all good... Well now comes the Opppps... I was Vacuuming the pool on Tuesday and Added 20oz. Of bleach to get the FC back to 8.0 and added some Muriatic Acid...

mknauss, Well I don't feel so bad now!!! Your water loss is a lot more than mine!!! Sorry to hear that I bet your city either loves you or hates you... lol... But yeah we have a very high humidity rate down here and it gets very hot!

What does everyone experience with water loss!!! Including Splash Out and Evaporation!!! I seem to be losing about a 1/4" to no more than 1/2" of water every 3 or 4 days... I don't think I have a leak cause I've walked the pool several times before burying when I was experiencing the same loss...

Never mind I found my answer in pool math

Is there a chart that shows how much boric acid is needed? Cause that is a good option also!!!

Well I don't mind the extra work... I haven't started lowering my TA I'm at about 130 to 140 max my pH sits around 7.4 to 7.8 haven't really seen it go higher than that... But I do wanna add a fountain and run it for leisure because the wife loves the sound of running water... and that leads to...

Quick question!!! I'm looking to add borates and I've read the article in pool school so my question is the pool store I go to sells blue whale muratic acid 21 Baum MA 33% Hydrocloric Acid 67% other ingredients so since I'm not to familiar with these MA's just yet... Can someone let me know the...

Rahbe No big Deal it happens to us all... lol...:lol: Well I guess I'm gonna go ahead and do some of the tests that everyone is suggesting and up my pump and filter time and see where that gets me... looks like im just gonna have to go at it and find that sweet spot between my SWG, Pool and pump...

LFrankow, I think your right. I think we do have the same unit and yes I believe it is rated for an 18k. T-Cell-5 is what the cell is I believe. As far as doing a OCLT I have not done one yet but I will perform one this weekend when I'm off of work and have the time... Also I was always under...

Ok but changing the SWG to 100% is Super Chlorinating... Isn't that the same thing as a SLAM? Is it necessary to get the level of chlorine that high if all i'm trying to do is get the pool to maintain a chlorine level of around 5 to 6 which is what the FC/CYA Chart says I should maintain with a...

I have a question kind of for some advice and also a little curious about a couple of things. Here are my levels as of Last Night just in case anyone needs them. FC - 3.6 pH - 7.6 TA - 120 CH - 160 CYA - 80 Salt - 3300 Ok so what you see as my FC is what the water normally tests at. So i'll...

Ok Thanks... Yeah I have been testing the fill water and it sits about the same range as far as CH... I just wasn't sure if there is anything to be concerned about or if it is something to try and keep as close to the low end as possible but you have now helped me to determine that answer...
