I have a cover star and when it closes it closes fine and squares…slow but it’s square. However when we open it’s unseated on the far end side of the motor. What could cause this? I’m trying to figure out how the roller could cause this and more so if the ropes has anything to do with it. If...

My rope broke at the end of the cover where the rope ties in at the webbing. Need to replace rope but unsure of the cover type. Can anyone tell by this poor picture.

For some reason my TA won’t go down!!! Sitting at 225 ppm Used about a gal of muratic acid in the last two weeks. FC 6.0 CC .05 CYA 40 PH 7.4 TA 225 Thoughts or suggestions?

Appears that my TA is high, but my PH is somewhat in range. Pool maths is suggesting I add 2gal if Mauriatic acid. Sounds like a ton! PH 7.2 TA 230 Will TA drop on its own?

What’s causing this? Happens when I add water or when we slash around. They fade away slowly. But curious on the cause and maybe how to address it.
