Will do as it seems to be my only economical option at this point. See the text below for my reply from Hayward tech support. Thanks again TFP The basic warranty to the original purchaser covers the product for defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase...

Hello I have a Hayward Star-Clearâ„¢ Plus C17502. The filter is only two years old but the stainless steel rod that goes down the center is rusting. There is one spot that always rust. Its like an imperfection or an artifact in the stainless when it was manufactured. I wouldn't want the rust...

Thanks guys / gals. I will stick with the poly60

I found the website and this is odd. "No More Problems". The MSDS does not state the chemical. The brochure also has a note about what reagent test to use for checking the chlorine. "Is DPD (Pink Test) the best test for chlorine? No! Our extensive field experience has shown that the OTO...

I recently had a algae problem that this forum helped me resolve. Thank you. I went to the pool store today to buy my polyquat 60 and the pool person suggested I use "No More Problems". I believe the bottle listed sodium bromide as the ingredient. The pool employee told me that "polyquat 60...

In closing I just wanted to thank the members that helped me out. Your knowledge and information was spot on for the tx of my black algae. The local pool store tried to change my methods but I stuck to this thread / forums plan and it worked like a charm and saved me money as well. Fellow...

I had a lab / collie mix as well. That dog would jump in a bucket of water. I was once told that one dog swimming is equal to 10 people in a pool. As long as I watch the FC I guess I am ok.

Quick question about the PH. My FC 32 Do I test my ph as always or do I need to correct for the high FC level. When I do the ph test I get about a 7.8 if I put a drop of chlorine neutralizer (Thio) in the test I get a reading over 8.2. That makes no sense to me. If chlorine is a base why...

Friday 08/15/2008 9.30am All is well. The FC drop or burn off during the daytime and night has decreased considerably. I keep brushing the pool. :whip: Saturday night will be my last shock tx to 40 ppm. When my FC reaches close to 4 ppm I will test my stabilizer levels. That should be more...

Update 6:00am Wednesday 08/13/2008 Good Morning. FC held at 40 ppm overnight. Brushed the pool again. :whip: Added 2 quarts chlorine for daytime burnoff. My FC keeps dropping to 25 over a 10 hour period but only in the daytime. I had a cya of 40 and added 5 lbs of cya on Sunday when I first...

Mr "JasonLion" you should change your user name to "FortuneTeller" My FC at 5:30am Tuesday was 40 ppm. Yahoo!!! I added 2 quarts of chlorine to cover the daytime burn off and brushed the pool again. Seems like I am going to brush the Bright out of the Diamond with all this brushing. :lol...

Ok at 6:30 PM I tested the water and again the FC was down to about 25 ppm. I added 2.5 gal. of 10% chlorine per Jason's pool calculator and brushed the pool. Now at 8:15 my FC is 40.25. I was starting to think my pool was larger than 15,000 gal and I wasn't reaching 40 ppm but after my last...

oops Down from 40

Good morning. Tested the water at 6.00am FC level went down to 27.5 from 40 WOW! Brushed the pool added chlorine. I will not dilute with the FAS-dpd taylor 2006 test kit. Need to find more reagent.

I think I will just buy more reagent if necessary and do it right. Thanks guys. I brushed the pool and added my chlorine. The pool turned very green. Will keep the pump running for 24 hours a day. I guess I can turn off my SWG. Will try to check my FC Monday am or pm after work. Thanks for...

I was reading my taylor 2006 pamphlet and includes instructions for dilution with high chlorine levels. Should I dilute? From the above post it sounds like I shouldn't. If I do not dilute I would use the 10ml water sample level at 0.5 per drop reading.

Ok I just got my metal algae brush. 5 pds of cya and 10 gals of 10% pool chlorine. How fast can I add the pool chlorine to bring it up to 40ppm?

Well I used my taylor 2006 test kit today and here are my numbers. The cya caught me by surprise. FC 4.0 CC 0.0 TA 70 CYA 40 double checked with a dreaded strip and it does read 40 or lower. Will confirm with pool store. PH 7.7 CH 320 salt 3100 My pool brush is made of plastic and...

I just don't like the feeling of chlorine water or dry skin. My other fault is I always want to push the envelope. Keeping the FC chlorine as low as possible ,taking the cya charts into account, was like a challenge. It worked fine for almost a year now but we had lots of rain for the last...

I can't argue with your reply. I have had my FC levels at the bare minimum for quite some time. Those black spots seem to find their way into the small surface defects or they might even be creating the defects. :cry: I will post my water results on Friday. Thanks

I started to see these black dots on the bottom of my pool. I thought they were the diamond brite stones. After taking my brush to them I realized they were small black dots or pockets (capsules) of algae. I try to keep my FC as low as possible in my pool. I am aware of the CYA / FC charts...

I woke up this morning to a nice pink stain from a firework on my travertine. Must be from some smoke producing pyro. Any suggestions on removing the stain from travertine.[attachment=0:26yr9v8f]DSC02727.JPG[/attachment:26yr9v8f]

Re: Helping out the neighbor with his pool chemistry Ok Pool Gurus here are my neighbors test results using a taylor 2006 test kit. Stand back because I am shocked. After turning his pool green and staining the diamondbrite he went to the pool store two weeks ago and used.... I do not know...

Ok I am going to buy the first round of beers!!!

My neighbor has a in ground pool and is going to take a shot at doing the maintenance himself. I own the taylor 2006 test kit and I told him I would test his water. I own a in ground pool but it uses a SWG. My neighbors pool uses the pucks in the float. What kind of numbers should I be looking...

Up in Palm Beach. Hot as heck already wouldn't you say. Pool temp 91F

There was a user on that forum called chem geek. Hope he comes over to TFP. He was very knowledgeable and friendly

No offense TFP. Just wondering what happened to Swimming Pool Help forum web site. http://x.havuz.org

Hello all. Much thanks to Jason's pool calculator and Chem Geek.
