So I just did an Ascorbic acid treatment for the first time yesterday and finished around 3 pm. I added Polyquat 60 as well. Today after 3 pm I added some soda ash to get the following levels: FC - 0 TA - 40 PH - 6.8 - 7.0 CH - 300 CYA - 60 Temp - 65 CSI - -1.35 That CSI worries me. Will it be...

So I started taking care of the pool myself finally about 1-2 months ago. Everything has been smooth and going great but the PH keeps raising it seems no matter what I do. I've been adding muriatic acid to bring it back down but usually within 4-7 days it's back to 8.0-8.2. The rest of the...

I was a little unsure regarding air bubbles in the pump basket. I know we definitely don't want air going through the lines, however, can someone give me their opinion on the below: When I check my Superflow VS Pump Basket I notice a few air bubbles (usually when higher RPM speeds). The...

I'm thinking of upgrading my pool system but most likely only if I can do it myself since will be way too expensive otherwise. Do you think adding a system like the below is feasible for someone who isn't extremely handy but can learn as they go: Pentair EasyTouch | Pool and Spa System | IC40...

For the pool surface it looks like the attached surface. When searching it seems this is White Quarts with Blue Specs added. Is that still classified as a "Plaster" pool in the app and in general for calculating levels (i.e. optimal CH and such)? Also, is this type of surface better/worse than...

My CYA is 120 and FC is 20-30 (retesting tomorrow). My ph on meter shows 7.0 (but may be calibrated wrong) and on tf100 test shows about 7.5. Assuming that high FC can cause ph to read higher than it is, do you think I should add some Borax to raise ph 0.3 to be safe? I know I really should...

I am thinking of adding a swg to my current setup. Right now I’m using a pool company but want to change to doing it myself. The only thing that makes me hesitant is doing the liquid chlorine daily since I have a very hectic schedule on and off. Would it be worth considering the option of...

I'm in Central Florida (Orlando area). Plaster Pool. I have been using a pool company for 3 years but finally started realizing the guy barely does anything and his numbers (CYA, FC, etc all are fake). I received the TF-100 and after multiple tests I believe my numbers are accurate (just not...

Probably 13,000 to 14,000 pool size. For suction: we have a main drain and 1 skimmer to our pump. Then a few returns going back into the pool. - If I was to leave the suction cleaner (Zodiac MX8 Elite) in the pool, it uses the skimmer's suction so there is no skimmer action. Do any of the...
