Does anyone need this? It works fine, but I think the battery is going bad as it doesn’t hold a charge as long anymore. If so and you’re in my area, I’ll stick it in the mailbox or I can ship it for postage if needed. Thanks!

5/18/2023 TEMP 80 Crystal Clear Water FC 9.6 CC 0 PH >8 TA 120 CH 310 CYA 60 NACL 3200 (2800 APP) CSI 0.380 The comparator only goes up to 8 for PH, but sometimes I see other people reporting a PH higher than 8. Is there a math equation to get that number? I have a feeling it’s higher than 8...

I read that the levels should be correct before turning on the new SWG. We are out of whack here with our pump having been out since February. Hopefully our new pump will be installed tomorrow and I can start correcting things quicker. is it ok to start correcting everything in the same day...

Sorry guys, I struggle to be succinct. Long story as short as possible 😂 Our pool is in East Texas. In January we had an icy weather event and our power was out for a week. Once it came back on, we realized our pump had failed and our sand filter had cracked and was leaking fairly heavily. I...

We have the K2006C and need several refills. Our SWG is installed and should be hooked up next week. I want to get a new test kit for salt water. The test kit website is a little confusing to me. Which test kit for SW will test for the most things? Thanks guys!

The pool guy is here to install the new pump and filter. They are bigger than what’s currently here. We aren’t using the booster pump anymore. What is the best thing to do? I’ve read a few threads, but I’m confused. Thanks guys!

Hey guys! The freeze we had earlier in the month finished off my aging pump and cracked sand filter. Yea! The pool has been sitting since then and all I’ve done is throw some LC in and swirl it about while I decide what to do next. My goal would be to have the least maintenance going forward...

I will be adding MA to lower PH per K-2006C tonight, but what should I attack after that? I put the numbers into the wheel for the first time, but I’m not exactly sure what that number tells me, other than it’s higher than desired. I really appreciate the help. I feel comfortable with the...

FC 9.8 (added recommended LC) CC .4 PH 8 (added recommended MA) TA 150 CH 170 CYA 100 (down from over 400) Thoughts? Water is pretty clear, but not crystal clear. I added recommended LC to bring FC up to 11 and added more MA to bring PH down to 7.8. That should lower my TA, right? I sound like...

FC 10 CC .5 PH 8 (2 drops of R-006 brought it down to 7.6) TA 130 CH 210 CYA 190 The pool is crystal clear and looks amazing! We got some rain yesterday and that, along with pumping to waste, has helped bring my CYA down from over 400. Yea! I’ll continue to work on that. I used the Pool Math...

I’m learning about testing and results thanks to you guys! Now I‘m hoping someone can help me with the equipment part. I’ll post pictures below. Type slow, I’m already confused. 😂 There is some sort of controller box that magically connects with the Aquapod 2.0 remote and our internet…..somehow...

I’d like a pole like this to help me get the skimmer lids off without sticking my fingers in the holes. Does anyone know where I can get one without ordering the entire skimmie kit? Thanks.

Are skimmer socks a good purchase? Do they really filter out the tiny bugs and pollen? Are they able to be used with a tower skimmer like this?

New test results this morning. I think I’m on the right track thanks to you guys! If I remember, my FC needs to be higher to compensate for the high CYA. I’ll find the chart, add some bleach, and retest FC. This sound right? Anything else stand out? FC 9 CC .6 pH 7.4 TA 100 CH...

I wasn’t sure where this fit into the forum. If I should post elsewhere, let me know. We just moved to this house with the pool. There is a group of black vultures that have been living here for years. The previous owners didn‘t really use the pool so they weren’t worried about them. The...

I just tested for the first time. I’m not entirely sure I did everything correctly, if I missed doing a test, or even what the total picture means. The pool does look a tad cloudy. I appreciate any thoughts you guys have. The previous owner told us his pool maintenance schedule is to put 4...

Is there a reliable way to figure out how many gallons our pool is? it’s fairly rectangular, but has large steps with a seating area on one end and 2 ledges. I feel like this is a good first step to being able to better care for it. Thanks everyone!

New pool owner here! We are in deep north east Texas. I have really enjoyed reading the forums. I can proudly proclaim that I now know just enough to be dangerous. :geek: The previous owner described his pool maintenance as putting 3-4 chlorine pucks in a spot by the pump and whenever it runs...
