Found this before the hex nipple. Looks like it might get in the way when I backwash though. uxcell 90 Degree Elbow 1/4 Scientific 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129 pump Build around 1980 TF-100 test kit City water (No restriction)

The gauge threads are very close to the lip of the multi port valve. I don't think the center mount will clear. Even if it did, it's located behind the filter so I wouldn't be able to see it. I'm hoping the elbow will give me the clearance that I need. 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward...

Last post under this topic...just wanted to let you know that the Speedstir is awesome! Way easier to to test. So far keeping up with the FC and PH has been a breeze and a lot of fun. Thanks again for all of your help. My pool looks great! Unfortunately, Imunderstand that the spring and summer...

My pressure gauge screws into my filter horizontally and always fills with water. I got tired of replacing them so I have not used a gauge in years. Has anyone come up with a fix or come across a sealed gauge? Thanks. 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129...

Update: Drained the pool by half FC-5 CC-0 TC-5 CH-360 TA-190 CYA-42-45 PH-7.2 Looks pretty good. Maybe add a little MA to bring down my TA? Thanks again. 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129 pump Build around 1980 TF-100 test kit City water (No restriction)

Ok, my CH is 575. I wasn't mixing while adding the R-0012 drops. I feel a bit better now. 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129 pump Build around 1980 TF-100 test kit City water (No restriction)

Last question for today. Is it ok for me to mix the R-0012 when testing? If I had 5 drops,then mix ,I get a much lower reading. 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129 pump Build around 1980 TF-100 test kit City water (No restriction)

I'm going to drain half the pool today to try and bring down my CYA levels. There's nothing I can do about my CH level when my fill water is running at 500 CH. I will try to keep my TA down by lowering my PH like you suggested. Ok, I think I understand enough to be dangerous now! Wish me luck...

If I drain the pool by 1/2-3/4 how many gallons of liquid bleach would I need to add after refill would you say?Just a ball park. I want to be sure I have enough on hand. 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129 pump Build around 1980 TF-100 test kit City water...

I'm not sure what the pool service has been putting in there. The CH of my fill water is 500. Is replacing the water worth it given that my water is so hard? 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129 pump Build around 1980 TF-100 test kit City water (No...

Pool is clear... FC- 13.5 CC- 0 TC- 13.5 CH- 1,000 TA- 140 CYA- 80 PH- 7.5 Any suggestions? I'm firing my pool service tomorrow and will try to take care of it myself. I live in San Antonio, TX. Thanks!! 25k gallons Above Ground Plaster Hayward S244T sand filter AO Smith B-129 pump Build...

Ok, I just bought the TF100. So when I get my kit I assume I should run all seven tests to see where everything is and then adjust from there?

Ok, I'm sold. Thank you all for the support!

I'm paying about $76/month for a chemical only pool service. The price doesn't bother me but, my pool is green about 30% of the time. After reading about the BBB method I'm considering trying to take care of it myself again. So I need to buy a quality test kit, the cheapest bleach I can find...
