Tested pool one week ago and my CYA was at 60. I did have to let some water out due to heavy rain. But my question is what would cause me to lose all my CYA so fast?

This is my second opening so my pool is under 2 years old. I took the pool cover off to find the steps had huge chunks of plaster missing from my gunnite inground pool. It is only on the steps also. Any thoughts what could have caused this? The gouges are very deep too...

I have read 2 different things: Drain right below skimmers inlets and drain a few inches below returns? Which one is the best?

So I posted a couple months ago how my new plaster pool (done last September not even a year has the pool been built) looked awful with stains everywhere along with being very rough. Every time the kids get in their feet bleed. I have been trying to get my pool builder to come out for over a...

So this is my first Pool with plaster. We had it built last September. I have been following the TFP method and only I have been taking care of it. The kids swam yesterday and all of them had bloody toes from the plaster being so rough. Not exaggerating the plaster just looks and feels awful...

I have these stains that will not go away on my steps. They keep getting worse. They will not brush away. Any suggestions on what it could be or to do? FC-5 CYA-60 PH 7.4 CH-200 TA-70

I cannot get my PH to go down. Its at 8.5 plus right now. I keep adding Muriac Acid but it does nothing. Could this be because the water temperature is only 55 degrees? Or do I keep adding the Muriac Acid? Thanks

I just opened my pool for the first time. I have everything set up through the Easy Touch system. The water temperature is 52 degrees and all the salt water generator lights are on and running. My question is how do I turn this off as I am going to start the slam process and I don't want the SWG...

So my pool was finished first week of September. I followed everything on starting a new plaster/gunnite pool. This week what I thought was algae I realized is actually reddish/brown spots. It started with one now there is five. I have tried and tried to brush and nothing happens. While doing...

I have a new gunnite pool. We finally got the SWG going about two weeks ago. I have been running my pump and SWG 24/7 according to the rep for the equipment. Since then the FC has ranged from 18-22. I have turned the salt output to the lowest setting possible. Now I just found two green stains...

I jut started my Pentair Ultra Temp Electric Heater for the first time. It was set at 86 and I ran it straight for 9 hours. The unit itself went up to 83 degrees and wouldn't go higher from there. But the water temperature when I checked it from two different temperature gages never got past 78...

Hi All! I have been following for quite a while. My pool has finally finished last week. I have new plaster and trying to keep up with readings although I am confused. Yesterday my PH was under 6.2 and TA was 20. They added muric acid and chlorine. Today my TA is 130 and PH is 8.2 (or higher) My...

Hello all! This will be my first pool ever. I am getting a freeform 18x38 pool. I am measuring the pool as they just sprayed the outline of it. Should the smallest point to point be the 18 feet across or is that the largest point the 18 feet? I have measured the smallest point to point and its...
