It didn't come with an aimable eyeball. Sounds like I can put the plug on the return valve, unhook the hose and let it aerate in that manner. My TA is holding at 110. How do I get the TA to 60-70? Aerate? FC 4.0 CC .5 TC 4.5 CYA 70 pH 7.2

How do I aerate an Intex Ultra Frame Pool?

Okay so I have some different numbers today after adding soda ash and stabilizer. FC 5 CC .5 TC 5.5 TA 110 CH 70 CYA 60 pH 7.2 What should I adjust next? I'm thinking I need to get the pH up to 7.5.

I'm adding CYA now (put it in a sock and hung it from the ladder in front of the water return). (adding 31 ounces is what the Pool Calculator said and it should have minimal effect on the pH but I will check everything tomorrow and probably starting getting the pH up. I'm waiting on a pool...

Do I need to panic over the 7.5 CF level? Should I not run the SWG pump this evening? I have been running it 4 hours a night.

Okay, I received the TF-100 kit today. Here are the results: FC 7.5 CC .5 TC 8 pH 7.2 TA 110 Stabilizer 20 Obviously I need some adjustments because it looks like the stabilizer is too low and the FC is awfully high.

Once I test with TF-100, I will post the results and let you all guide me as to what I should adjust first.

Thanks! I felt like the CYA should be higher but will confirm when the kit arrives.

I do know how everyone feels about the strips. I've gotten different reading using the drops vs the strips. I find the strips hard to read when comparing the colors plus the increments go up so much you don't know a very exact reading. I'm handing skimming everyday, testing everyday and I'm...

My above ground pool has been opened a week. I've used the pool calculator and it seems everything is in check. I ordered the TF-100 kit and hopefully it will arrive soon. In the meantime, here are my levels for a 4625 gallon Intex Ultra Frame Pool with a filter pump and SWG. These results...

It was the 31.45%.

I finally had to ask someone where it was. It was in Outside Garden and was as far away from everything as possible. It came in a cardboard box (2 per box).

I checked and have the 31.45% strength. I will double check before adding.

Thank you! I went to Home Depot to buy muriatic acid and came home and noticed it said hydrochloric acid. Thought I goofed. Thanks again!

I need to lower my pH (it is reading at 7.8) Is hydrochloric acid the same thing as muriatic acid?

I added 14 ounces of bleach a few minutes ago. I'm going to check the levels and see where I am at with pH and other numbers. I bought some borax today also to have on hand. I think it is going to take a little work to get the pH up. Right now I'm enjoying all the "tinkering" with the water...

I've added the "soda ash" and cyanuric acid today. The pump is running 24 hours. Can I add some bleach tomorrow, wait awhile and finally get in? Or do i need to get the levels stable?

It is Arm & Hammer All Natural Super Washing Soda. It contains sodium carbonate. It also says 100% fragrance and phosphate free.

I'm guessing the pH is lower than 6.8 also. I actually had some of the Baking Soda Washer Booster so I added 23 ounces. I will buy some bleach tomorrow and add that. All of this advice is very helpful! Beyond the water chemistry stuff, I worked two weeks getting the ground level. We've...

Borax as in the washing detergent in the grocery store? How much would I need to add? I just checked my levels: PH 6.8 (using the drops and that is the lowest it would read) TA 80 TH 100 TC 0 (SWG not on yet) FC 0 (SWG not on yet) Stablizer: I added a pound to a 4600 gallon pool. This...

I have cyanuric acid and will work on getting that in the pool before I even turn on the SWG

I have a 14 foot by 4 foot round Intex Ultra Metal Frame Pool. It holds around 4600 gallons. I'm using the filter pump that came with the pool (637R) and I have put in a saltwater chlorine generator. The pool is nearly full with well water. I've added the 115lbs of salt. The directions...
