This thread will be similar to drewghost but I didn't want to bogart his. This is the first time I can remember the pool being green at opening. Pool company will be here any moment to hook up the filter and all the other things they do. The pH is off the charts literally, I can't measure it...

Knock on wood, the only problem this season. The water has been crystal clear all year. Here are readings from yesterday (we use PoolMath to track all activity): FC 6.5 pH 8.0 TA 85 CH 325 CYA 60 CSI 0.38 Temp 84 Acid was put in 6 days ago, dropped pH to 7.6 but it bounced back up; this has...

Near the end of last season the vacuum hose seemed to be breaking down so during the winter my husband got another complete hose and backup valve. He also put new belts and gears (thought about bearings) in the vacuum so it is working great. The one confusing thing is the hose leaks noticeably...

Despite reluctance we've used muriatic acid in attempting to lower pH. CYA is always a problem despite not using pucks (except during one weekend trip), it was 40 when the pool was opened May 3 then reached 80 by May 29 where it has remained. CH has been consistently 250, TA 80-90, FC in the...

Moved from here. I hesitate to post here because it has been five years since someone did, but my topic is most closely associated with the content here. The following has happened to me twice - using my Taylor 2006 kit I follow instructions for the full amounts of reagents and get a CH reading...

Spun off from here as the discussion went to an A2D topic. CYA is the most frustrating part of maintaining pool chemistry in my experience. We did use tablets a couple weeks ago during a four day trip, then removed them upon return. According to PoolMath in order to reduce CYA even to 60...

My husband is following the guidelines here, got the Pool Math app and switched us to liquid chlorine. He has a Taylor K2006 test kit. We opened and got chlorine in and had to boost the calcium hardness. We had a bag on Balance Pak 300 (calcium chloride from pool store) and put that in which...
