I understand a low CSI has little effect on a vinyl pool but how about my SWCG? At this point I am working on getting all things to the stage I need in order to increase my borates. That low CSI troubles me to no end. If it doesn’t matter much even to the SWCG then I may stop monitoring it.

Hurricanes, debris, rain, and drains have left me in a quandary about what to do first. I love the borates in the pool, but I know from the sticky ‘So you want to add borates to your pool—how and why’ that everything else has to be just right first. And that is what I loved about them—once...

I recently did the MA and Borax addition. I am curious about the reason to run the pump 24-48 hrs. Are they a bit hard to mix on some level? I am running the pump that way, and followed TFP guide for ranges before adding the two and it is going great. Oops! Just realized I may have added too...

Trying to get my salt in range to turn on SWCG for first time. Salinity is at 2600 after multiple smaller additions the last being 16 hours ago. The salt is Clorox pool salt which mixes easily. How strict is the 24 hr time frame for additions?

What has been your experience with that. I wonder if I did everything perfectly during a slam-what is the fastest time to passing all tests?

Where do they go after I save them?

7 months, dead sit, no power. Getting the crud out. Now keeping chlorine around slam level till official slam start. SWG not in use till … later. Concerned about inside the ladder algae (not yet bolted to pool top ledge). Asking for personal experiences, opinions, tips, and rationales on...

15’ round, No power to the pump or filter or saltwater generator yet. Waiting on a permit. I’ve been adding chlorine and stabilizer and just testing that in the pH. Anything else I should be doing?

New pool set up, just finished a slow 3 day fill. I know very little about salt water pools. All previous experience has been with chlorine. Everything I read, says not to add anything until you have your pump on, but I’m concerned I will get life growing in my pool if I don’t put something in...

Can anyone explain to me how all my numbers can be within range yet color was slightly off? Within the past several days (don’t go by my most recent test results-I let the chlorine drop) I had been slamming because of algae (don’t think it was mustard- just regular). Passed tests. Keep on...

I raised my chlorine excessively, it’s really hot. Can I swim at this level? CYA is 40.

Let me just continue with that title line...This is my first experience with having algae in the pool (at least that I’m aware of). The last two days I noticed a few areas when I was cleaning that looked a little yellowish. I thought maybe it could be pollen settling in some areas or it could...

I want to get the premium version for my friend. Has anybody done this? Apple device, and since I have already purchased it, it just asks me if I want to open it. Best of all would be if I could purchase, pay and then send the person an email with a link to register. Or even better!!! A square...
