I have a vinyl pool, and have always used the cheapest clear blue triangle with weights that I can find, it is what I grew up with. However the brushes don’t go to the edge. So it makes it a little hard to get in the edges of the pool, where slopes meet, etc. Any suggestions?

Per the guide, Why adjust pH to 7.2 - 7.5 and raise low CYA before slam ? My pH normally runs 7.6 to 7.8. CYA is at maybe 20, and I will raise to 60 for the season, but it seems like SLAM would be just as effective with low CYA, although if it actually gets sunny all day, then yes that could...

I usually run tests indoors and like many of you, I'm the worst at reading pH. I'll see 7.7 through 8.0 as the same. Occasionally, I'll use my K-1001 test kit for pH as the comparator range is 7.5, 7.8, 8.2 and I can more easily tell if the pH is above or below 7.8 Is there a light that is...

I’m thinking about increasing CH to 150, 175, or maybe even 200 to perhaps help the heater (see thread here) and also move CSI closer to 0.0 (even though pool is vinyl) Current tests: FC: 5 CC: 0 PH: 7.5 TA: 90 CH: 110 CYA: 55 (greater than 50, but less than 60 - may bump to 70 some day)...

I have a Pentair Prowler 920, and typically use the fine pleated filters. I remove the bot from the pool daily for swimming, and also clean the filters with the garden hose daily. However, most of the time, there’s not a lot there to clean out. I think the fliters could probably go for a week...

The “Pool & Spa Water Chemistry” booklet that comes with the Taylor K-2000 series test kits discuss the CYA correction factor for TA, and the same is referenced on their Technical FAQs. “Cyanuric acid (CYA) titrates as total alkalinity when CYA is greater than 30 ppm. Adjust for this by...

So this information from the CYA sticky above explains why the FC recommendation is different between liquid and swg pools - “3Most saltwater chlorine generator (SWG) pools appear to prevent algae at a minimum FC level of 4.5% of the CYA level as compared with the roughly 7.5% of the CYA level...
