I was trying to clean some scale off my tiles last week with a mix of MA and water and i think i might have lightened the color of my grey grout like an idiot. It has a white haze on it now and doesn't look so good. I've read that MA can burn grout as well. Thing is, the grout returns its...

Anyone have any tips for keeping my pool in working order despite the fact that i will be gone for 10 days? I will throw a few pucks into the automatic chlorinator, which i do not normally use except in cases where i am on vacation. I will put a solar cover on it to reduce water and chlorine...

So, I took the cover off this spring after putting it on in October when kids stopped swimming, and tested the CYA levels to find that the CYA was 0. I kept pool moderately chlorinated, but not as religiously as I do in the swim season. May have let slip a bit, but pool doesn't use as much...

Greetings, So this summers fun is the white line that appears around the water line after swimming. It seems to heavily concentrate on the mortar around the tile just above the water line. It appears after the pool is used, and the more splashing, the worse it gets. The amazing thing is that...

Hi, Can someone please tell me what the best ph testing kit is. I have a Taylor kit but can't match the colors for the life of me and wonder if ther might be a better solution.

I rarely every go to Leslies pool store unless i have to, but decided to get my water tested by the fine folks at leslie and once again, i was told that i needed to purchase 200 worth of chemicals or I was a horrible person, more or less. nedless to say, i did not purchase them, but am curious...

Hi, I have an inground plaster pool that is about a year old. There is a hot tub attached with a spillover that runs about 18 hours per day. The hot tub continues to form a white line of scale at the waters edge, yet the pool itself has no scale. Anyone know why? Is it the heat? PH: 7.8...

hi all, my pool is almost 8 weeks old and everything seems to be going well, but it is a daily chore to keep my numbers on target. I need some advice on stabilizing my ph levels. it seems to rise pretty fast. for example, last night my ph was at 7.2' I added some LC to get my Chlor. levels...

Ok, so in the short time (6 weeks) that I have owned a pool, i have learned a lot and have already stopped using my chlorinator per the advice on this board. I am learning as I go, but have a few questions if you wouldn't mind. Here are my readings this morning: PH: 7.9 (added acid this...

My new 20,000 gallon inground pool is 4 weeks old and the kids eyes seem to burn when swimming. my water levels are as follows: FC= 2 CC= 0 pH= 7.5 T/A= 100 CYA= 40 Any advice? Or should my kids just wear goggles?

I have a 20,000 in ground pool with a dual speed pump, UV ozonator and 3" tab inline chlorinator. Pool is 4 weeks old today. I am starting to get how to maintain the pool, but have a question about the difference between the chlorinator and adding chlorine. Should I maintain the chlorine...

How much acid should I be adding to get the PH down. It is around 7.8 to 8 now and just wont go down. I hear this is common with new pools. I am probably a little light on th trigger when it comes to adding MA, typically add a cup or 2. Should I be adding more?
