Hi Had a weird day yesterday. Have green pool so gathered my bleach and test kit- tf-100 and started to get ready for the fight. My cya seemed to be 50 and my tc was 4 I decided to shock and tried to get it to 20. An hour later. When I added the r-870 I got a slight tinge of pink and after I...

I have read nearly all 15 pages in the pool cleaner section but haven't found anyone specifically address a robotic for an AGP without a flat bottom. I am leaning towards the aquabot but wondered if anyone with an AGP sans flat bottom has had any problems? The sloping to the center is gradual...

Ok, I started back to college and got caught up in my studies so I let the pool slide a few days. :oops: So when I checked it was TC 0 PH 7.8 CH 30 CYA 40 TA 130 (always high) My water was cloudy and had a green tinge to it. I assumed it was algae. I added my MA to lower PH and then...

Morning, Can anyone tell me what happens to the MA I put in? Does it get eaten by the sun like chlorine? Can you end up overloading a pool with it in effort to keep PH/TA under control? As you can tell I am no chemist but it helps to understand what happens to the products I put into the pool...

I am trying to set up my pool. Bleach is in, I know I need to add muriatic acid....currently have a sock with stabilizer in front of the return. When/where do I add the MA and how? I need to add 2 qts for now. Can I do it with the sock thing in my way ...if I need to put it next to return? I...

Well, here is a pic of the very beginning of our pool adventure. 2 ft in and already hit rock ugh. I believe we live on one large boulder. Dog gone Texas gumbo and rock. Well it is 100 in the shade and we may need blasting caps :wink:

I am having a 16x32x52 oval AGP installed. I read where I should get a 2 speed pump because it saves on electricity. So I told my installer. He asked which one...and I have no clue. Please help with advice. Also, he said one return is fine vs two. He spoke about using a pump that is...

We will be getting our AGP installed on the 16th. 16x32x52 Oval. We are planning to have it "dished out" in the center to about 5-5 1/2 feet. I will be filling it with the garden hose. I have been studying at "pool school" and have purchased the TF100 kit. Got it yesterday :whoot...

I am going to have a new AGP 16x32 oval pool installed on the 16th. In the package it comes with a 1.5hp pump w/300lb sand filter . I have read about the 2 speed pumps with timers really saving on energy costs. I can upgrade to that although the pool installer thinks it may not be necessary...

I looked at the Doughboy...pretty pricey compared to Cornelius, which looked similar...but whadda I know? Has anyone ever used a Cornelius product? I was thinking about the 16x32 Oval "Dynasty" (Cornelius), Oval... mostly because decking would be easier than on a round. But I could go...
