Are the results of the R-0871 FAS/DPD reagent different if the liquid is warmed up? If so is there a "margin of error" I can mentally add/subtract to compensate? In years past when using Taylor test kits I always thought I saw a difference in drip-test results when the kit had been on the...

My kids leave toys in the pool quite often which we have no issue with. We swim nearly every day. However, I need my pump to run in order to circulate the water for my heat pump. Inevitably, a toy gets caught in the basket or a pool float hinders the flow of water enough that the pump starts to...

We're in the process of hooking up a heat pump to our 24 ft circular above round pool. Inspector came today to inspect our trenching and we passed. That's when he hit me with something. He asked who was doing the bonding on this pool. I had no intention of bonding this pool and apparently...

Hello all I'm stuck. We have a 13,000 gallon above ground 24' pool in Southwest Ohio that gets direct exposure to the sun for every second the sun is out (which is a lot in the summer). Last year we had an unusually hot summer and we sat in the upper 80's. This year is a different story...

I've been all over the tftestkits.net website and I can't find where to buy the calibraiton powders for the blue digital pH test meter. The yellow one I ended upgetting on my second purchase is all over the board with its results and rarely consistent with the blue tester. The blue one has to...

Despite record high water temps last year from June until the end of August if we installed an above ground pool heater it would extend our swim season by around 2 months. 13,000 gallon 4' deep circular pool that sits in direct sun all the time. The issue is in September the days are hot but...

I need to deep clean the fingers of my DE filter but don't have any "filter cleaner" to soak them in. I've read online you can use a 5:1 ratio of Muriatic Acid and water. Is this an acceptable solution? I'll have to get creative with what bucket I have that will fit this but...

Is something like this really effective at raising ph? Is there something else I should try that would work better? I like the idea of the fountain effect. Really need it for more pragmatic use than aesthetics, though VOEER Pool Fountain for Above and In-Ground Pools, Adjustable Dual Spray Pool...

13k above ground, pH 7.5, FC 10.0, CYA 60 Apparently I have too much time on my hands this year because I have decided to wage the ever-ending war against my insanely High total alkalinity. It's sitting somewhere between 220 and 250. I use the TF 100 test kit like everybody else and it's...

Hey all. I'm somewhat new to pool chemistry/pump/etc., (a few years experience with those 2500 gallon vinyl Walmart specials plus my 2nd year on our current 13k gallon above ground). The current pool is a 24' 13k gallon pool with a 1600gph pump and a DE filter (that takes about 4lb of DE)...

Hi all! We live in southwest Ohio with four young kids (7,6,4,2). We have an above ground 24' pool 48" in depth. By my calculations that's around 13,000 gallons of water. Our temperatures during the summer are usually the low to mid 80's in June and flirt with the 90's in July. That is...
