With bleach going up to $17.98 for 2 gallons at Home Depot it’s time to make the change, anyone have recommendations for a quality saltwater chlorine generator? We have hard water locally which sucks but it is what we have. Gets really hot here in the summer in Mesa, AZ I was using upwards of...

So here is my current readings, and the seem to be on the high side. Our fill water in AZ is hard 375 CH out of the tap. I don’t have Borates or the Salt test so do I leave those blank or do I need to test for them? Playing with the numbers If I lower my PH to 7.4 it is good, but it seems...

I get a lot of leaves in my pool and dont want to hassle the neighbors too much, they are going to dump the skimmer basket every few days. Would it be ok to leave the vacuum out while we are gone to protect the pump? And just collect the leaves in the bottom when we get back? Sorry if this is...

This will be my first summer owning a pool. Im currently at 50 CYA and was wondering if my range of FC is 6-8 based off the chart and from what I read the FC loss in AZ can be from 4-5 per day what should be the target FC to dose for 11? To try and stay above the minimum of 5. Maybe it’s obvious...

So with it warming up in AZ I raised my CYA to 50ppm from 30ppm in the winter. I was always maintaining a 3-6 FC all winter no issues. Well I raised my CYA a few weeks ago and forgot to adjust my FC Range (5-8). My pool doesn’t look as crystal clear as it did before what Im wondering is what is...
