Anyone know of a freshwater aquarium test kit that is similar to the TF100, inasmuch as you look for the color change for the endpoint as opposed to comparing to a card? I'm currently cycling a tank that seems 'stuck' and I feel like NONE of the colors ever match my samples.... What do I even...

I just purchased the Intex Krystal Clear SWCG. It comes with threaded compression fittings on the hose, and threaded inlet/outlet on the SWCG itself. All of my plumbing (Hayward skimmer and return eyeball, PolyGroup/SummerWaves pump and filter combo) is non-threaded, so how exactly do you...

Does anyone know if the newer model of the Intex SWCG contains the copper plates? If anyone with any experience with this SWCG could let me know how it works (or not) I'd appreciate it! Amazon.com : Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System with E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidation) for up to...

I've got a 20'x48" frame pool (8200gal) with a 1600 gph pump (? best info that I could find) and a 12" sand filter. The pump is plugged in to a GFCI outlet on the house wall. The plug is also GFCI. I upgraded to a Hayward skimmer and plugged the original suction hole. I've had trouble keeping...

Anyone ever rig a polygroup summer waves sand filter for real vacuuming? This is the pool and filter that has a hole in the wall with a grid cover on the suction side.

So, after 12 years without a pool, we FINALLY have one up! Great news is that all numbers are spot on (Still waiting for the last bit of CYA to dissolve for a final on that, but FC held for 24 hours!! No swimmers) the bad new is that the air temps are getting into the 50's at night, and the...

My boss' pool is looking great! The liner patches are holding nicely, and the numbers are spot-on, except we are still upping the CYA. The liner itself has seen WAY better days, and he is going to redo things before next summer. Question: Anyone ever heard of going from vinyl to fiberglass, as...

Ok, here's the scoop. Or at least as much as I know so far. Pool (specs that I know in sig) has been covered for at least 2 years. Realtor indicated there was a leak a couple years ago, but did not know where or if it had been repaired. ETA Pool is 17 years old. New pump motor 1hp, SF 1.0...

...I finally have a pool to care for!!!!! :party: Not in my backyard, but in my employers! I am going to instruct them in the ways of BBB, and get free pool time to keep my scales looking gorgeous! I will be here brushing up on the chemistry aspects, and will undoubtedly have questions...

So I had a dream that there was a 'new this summer' inground pool. It developed had an algae problem, similar to the story in this thread and of course I went to put all my good TFP knowledge into play. Still dreaming, I realized that I had not brushed the new plaster daily, or kept a good...

((The following is an excerpt from some PMs between Teapot and myself which ran from 8/14 to 8/16. I quickly found myself in WAY over my head, and asked teapot if I could move this info here for further examination by others. I have not had the time to paste all the PM's together until now.))...

and many more!!! :party:

and many moooooore..... :mrgreen:

please see this post ASAP!! TIA!

Not really the right category, since this is a pool topic, but it did not seem to fit anywhere else... My backyard neighbors opened their pool today! I have no clue if they BBB or not, but the water is gorgeous!! I am sick of looking at their winter cover! 8)

Anyone know of some good FREE landscape design software? Don't need anything REALLY fancy, just basic.... general dimensions, house, deck/patio/hardscape, beds, some plants and trees. ((Don't even need pool planning (again... :( ) I swear I'm gonna get a plastic pool on the deck, and dd looks...

Does anyone know of an aquarium forum/website that would be equivalent to TFP in knowledge and integrity? I am thinking about reopening our 90 gallon tank (was reef, then freshwater community) and I would like to be armed with as much info as possible. I don't want a site that simply hawks their...

Guess this might actually qualify as a physics question, but here goes! On PF last year, I read a blurb that water, pool water specifically, looks blue because of the reflection of the blue sky. That sounded good to me, at the time... I have a white tub, with white tile around it, just barely...

Boy did I mess this up! in trying to delete the multiple posts, I managed to delete the whole thread! So Sorry! Here it is:

Just in case the BBQ afficianados are not frequenting the new Grill with Skill site, I thought I would link this question here Thanks in advance!!

I have at the moment a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium. (we have a 90 gallon also, but it has been shut down since we moved). The little pH test kits always come with a glass tube, and somehow we always manage to break them. So I was guestimating how much pH down to add with each water addition...

Anyone running the new Safari browser from Apple yet? Are there problems with certain apps not running in Safari, like with Firefox? I have FF 2.0.0.4, the newest upgrade, and occasionally, I have to use IE for something... not often, but still a PITA... If it ain't broke.... but I feel the...

Get outside and enjoy your pool!! :mrgreen:

I would not usually post a prayer request on a non-religious board, but this is urgent. A 2 year old at our church was diagnosed with the rarest, most aggressive form of leukemia at the beginning of February. She is the sweetest little girl. She does not need to be sedated for CAT scans, MRIs...

... to having a gas grill... midway through my chicken this evening, I ran out of propane! :cry: :cry: :cry: So I had to finish them off in the oven. and the potatoes too. drat. I thought about getting one of those little $20 guages at HD or Lowes, but then figured I would not trade in the...

we are nearing 400!! :party: growing by leaps and bounds! :whoot:

When you have a question (about test results or anything else for that matter), please "Post a new topic", and don't just add on to someone else's thread. When you just add on, even if you are having a similar problem, it gets confusing trying to decipher which answers go to which question, if...
