Not really. But we can check iron levels. It really depends on the well in this area. Some are heavy on iron. Others like mine are not.

Yeah unfortunately we are all well water.

I will get a picture of the kit. I did take my Taylor Copper test kit over and test it for copper and it tested at .05ppm on that test.

I agree on the pool advice. Normally I just send people to TFP and let them figure it out. It is a 10x26’ above ground. 42” deep. So about 13,000 gallons. He has ordered a K-2006 kit just like I have and is waiting for it to arrive. Luckily he lives right around the corner for me so I was...

Looking for guidance here! I’ve been on the TFP method for 2 years with my pool and it has been flawless other than fighting with pollen or something settling and making me think I had something else. But loving it and has made me love the pool again. Fast forward to yesterday. Friend called...

2nd year pool owner. First year on TFP. 6 days into my first SLAM. Pool water looks great. Overnight loss test last night showed 0 FC loss. CC has been less than .5 since day 1 of SLAM. CYA is at 80 so I’ve had to be keeping high FC for SLAM. At least 31FC but the past 36 hours I’ve been at...

Unlikely to drain and refill. Not in a timely fashion anyway. I knew going in that my CYA was high so stopped and picked up my first 16 gallons of liquid chlorine today. Luckily menards has 4 gallon cases dor $15.96. Plus 11% rebate of course. So I’m prepared to put in LOTs and LOTS of...

FC - 5.4 CC - .4 pH - 7.5 TA - 110 CH - 195 CyA - 80 Temp was 91 degrees. Pool is a light green ish color and I know I’ve got an algae problem so I’m attacking it with a slam but wanted to make sure I don’t need to adjust any other levels before adding the liquid chlorine! Thanks in advance!

Those what you were looking for as far as my equipment?

Don’t mind the weeds. Landscaping finishing is one of the projects on the list.

Ok. #4 -Both of you said get a copper test. I ordered the Taylor K-1730 test kit this afternoon. Not sure when it will be here yet as I haven't received a shipping confirmation. I've found that my local pool store is not the most reliable with their testing. Usually a couple teenage kids in...

Hello, Unfortunately the wife talked me into a pool in mid 2020 and we had it installed fall of 2020. Little did I know I bought all the WRONG stuff! After spending hours upon hours the past couple days reading on the forum I've now learned I should have done A LOT more of that in 2020 when...

Well you called it. It’s not just dirt. So onto my first attempt at a SLAM. Question is. During the 24/7 pump running. Low speed or high speed?

New to pool ownership last year and have a question I can't seem to find an answer to. We have a 27' round above ground roughly 17,000 gallons. It came with a Hayward dual speed pump 2hp. High speed is 3450rpm and low speed is 1725rpm. We have a 175 sqft Hayward cartridge filter. Right now...
