This is a slight continuation of another thread A little over a year since the last drain and fill, should I drain again? Calcium Hardness through the roof I was looking into getting my autofill moved to help reduce increasing CH due to the fact our source water is about 290 ppm. I happened to...

I try and keep my CSI negative but with a 2 year old build I feel like a lot of calcium is leeching into the water causing the levels to rise like crazy. My first year with the pool I had absolutely no calcium deposits on my cell, this year (about two months ago) I noticed fairly large build up...

Today I noticed the pool's hue shifted slightly and was more green than blue, checked FC and came back at 0 and checking the cameras over the last week I can see it started about 4 days ago. I picked up some liquid chlorine in the meantime and dumped 1 gallon in to boost the FC and kill off any...

Update 2: In a completely unexpected event I received several emails a few hours after I sent a professional email to them outlining what has happened and they not only sent me a return label (didn’t ask for anything, it was just for awareness more than anything) they set up an order for a...

6.4 FC 0.2 CC 8.0 (added MA will be back to 8.0 in a few days) pH 90 TA 300 CH 90 CyA (a little on the high side but not worth draining/filling right now 79f 0.14 CSI Only “issue” is when sunlight hits the pool a certain way I can see a layer of oil even after not swimming for several days...

I really should have used my robot for this but I wasn’t thinking. Unfortunately a fairly large amount was at the bottom of the pool and I swept it to the main drains expecting it to get sucked into the filter so I could use my shop vac to get it out but when I pulled my cartridges out there...

I’ve noticed that when I need to add cyanuric acid the numbers that pool math comes up with seem extremely high so for example I recently had to refill my pool so I started with zero and it wanted me to add about 5 pounds and 7 ounces of dry stabilizer when I did actually add it I always do it...

My understanding is you can pretty much store all chems except for MA in your garage. Most just put it outside. My understanding is the heat isn’t necessarily a problem but direct exposure to sunlight can be. I was planning on storing the MA on the side of the house and during winter we have low...

Hello, We filled up the beginning of December and recently I noticed significant calcium build up on the waterline at the tile pretty much everywhere. Using a Tylor 2006C kit: 1/7 FC 2.4 CC 0.4 pH 7.4 TA 90 CH 270 CYA 30 1/11 FC 2.4 CC 0.6 pH 7.8-8.0 TA 90 CH 270 CYA <30 (not readable)...

Last night I turned on filter and pump at about 9:30 PM in order to have pool heated by morning but this morning I checked and heater was off. No error on display still in “bo” I turned it on as soon as I saw it was off and it’s still running so the only thing I can possibly think of is late...

I can’t really find anything indicating either way and the PB already ran everything but they said it’s normal for them to install them buried in the ground. My question is, why? They are intended to be opened and have the rods replaced. It’s not serviceable once it’s buried especially when it’s...

I live in an area that has recently moved to drought status and I decided it would be a good idea to reuse the water that’s at the base of the pool that’s been collecting from watering for the last week. Bought a submersible pump in order to cycle it back to soak the gunite again. Obviously the...

Found a reference to this forum from a reddit post so figured I would join and check it out. I currently have an in ground pool being built with a jacuzzi. We don't have a large backyard and the pool itself is only 11'x29.5' I opted for a salt water generator and heater. Funds got kind of tight...
