My total alkalinity is high, free chlorine is 15, combined is .5, water is clearing up but when I feel my liner on the walls it feels gritty like sand paper, I can scratch it off but it’s everywhere. What is the cause and is there a solution other than scrubbing. In ground 40X20, 33,000 gallons.

Hi, haven’t been on for quite some time but I haven’t had issues for quite some time. Opened my pool about 2 days ago and it was a mess from som e dust storms we had. I immediately began slamming and hand vacuuming. It started to turn blue and clear up but now it has just stalled for the last 7...

I have a tiger river spa, bengal model, not sure on the year, believe it’s an 07, the tubs jets will run for 5-10 minutes and heater will get hot, then everything powers down and power light starts blinking, I had this happen last winter and it froze up, we had a power outage and it froze up...

My pool is emerald green and has been for over a week, near the start of it I had posted about my excessively high pH/TA and have since remedied that issue, my FC had fallen to around a 3-5 for a few days and my CYA was between 40-50, I started a SLAM and held 18ppm with no change, thinking...

I’m thinking of converting my in ground 42x20 pool to salt water, I’ve done some research but wanted to ask the experts here on what generator to buy and is the process as simple as just adding salt and the generator or do I need to drain and refill? Also, any opinions or fees back on the Dive...

About 2 weeks ago I changed out our filter sand, I could not keep dirt from settling on the bottom every day, after the media change I SLAMed the pool and every thing appeared to be perfect, no more excess dirt, crystal clear, 6-7 FC and 30-40 CYA, and 7.8 pH... I back flushed the filter and the...

I've used the pool math and Ran tests today, my FC is 2.5ppm, pH 8.2, TA 450-500ppm, CC is 0, and hardness/calcium 800+, CYA is less than 30ppm. I'm wanting to raise CYA a tad, and get FC to 5ppm, and the pH also needs addressed. Water looks great, super clear, no scaling, just high pH and TA...

I haven't posted much and generally don't struggle a whole lot with pool maintenance. This year however when I removed my cover it looked like a swamp, globs of algae, pond smell, it was pretty gross. I shocked it with 6 gal of low chlorine and 8 pounds of shock initially, (40x20 inground) the...

Need some advice, my pool water is very clear but green looking and emerald green looking in the deep end. I've dropped about $300 on chemicals, mostly phosphate removers, I'm just curious if I'm better off burning everything out with liquid chlorine. I live in a small town surrounded by corn...
