    Another Green Pool

    Just arrived back from 6 week vacation and it appears the pool (which was being 'overseen' by a neighbour) salt chlorinator appears to have died a few days after I left, and short of 'throwing a few litres' of liquid chlorine in, neighbour has done basically nothing. The pool was swamp green...

    pH Adjustment of Small Water Sample

    First Test Post

    Hi all from down under :salut: - this is my first post after just receiving my CCL (Clear Choice Labs) test kit. First a bit of back ground - the pool is now 9mths old, and I would hope has now 'stabilised'. I've been floundering around between pool shop testing/recommendations and an...
