    Need help with TA/Ph

    FC-3 CC-0 CYA-40 pH 7.0 (or lower) TA- 150 we’ve had a lot of rain lately so I expected my pH to be up. Rain quit this afternoon and after I tested I was super surprised it had gotten so low. I also discovered my TA has drifted up to 150 from 100 when I checked it last. Is my TA too high...

    Do I add CYA?

    I'm in the middle of my very first SLAM and it's going pretty well (at least I hope it is). I think I need to give a little background before my question: Before really starting to SLAM I did some blind vacuuming and raking to get a bunch of the crud out. Because of how fast my DE filter...

    What can I get away with

    We just purchased a home in late August with a pool, making this my first foray into pool ownership/maintenance. When we moved in the pool still looked clear (I didn't know how to test it) and we figured hey- let's go for a swim. With the busyness of moving in, getting settled, and expenses...

    New from Minnestoa

    Contrary to popular thought, not every Minnesotan lives near a lake, so we thought we would buy a place with a pool! We live in Southeastern Minnestoa, near Rochester. My wife and I have four small children (8, 5, 3, 18mo's) that LOVE the water. This is our first experience owning or living...
