PLEASE DON'T KILL ME !!! I am recovering from surgery so my son is taking care of the pool (15k gallons, fiberglass with a SWG). He did not want to bother with my Taylor K2006 and went to the dreaded Leslie's. Attached is what I calculated the pool needs based on the Pool Math Calculator. I...

So I just bought my K-2006 and now I know why the 2006C version was a little more. Anyway, as you all know, the kit came with the below reagents. My question is ... which one(s) will run out first as I want to order extras to make sure I never run out. R-0003 R-0871 R-0004 R-0005...

I have a 15k gallon fiberglass pool with a SWG. The control panel is Hayward’s Goldline Aqua Plus. Anyway, I cleaned my salt cell yesterday but when I went through the menus, I got the below errors: Chlorinator Off No Cell Power Instant Salt Chlorinator Off Check System No Cell Power 2...

I may be particular here but should I do something about the circled areas? I was thinking of either sprinkling in some Quikrete concrete mix and then wetting it or using the liquid Quikrete concrete crack sealant.

My Polaris needed a new hose and connections. I took off the universal wall fitting from the UWF connector assembly (see New Part pic) but when I put it into the pool wall (see Pool Wall pic) it kept popping off. I realized the threads in the old universal wall fitting were worn down and could...

OK ... my pool looks unswimmable and my wife is threatening to hire a weekly pool service !!! I went to my local pool store ONLY because I just read that the chemicals/reagents in my 5 year old Taylor K2005 kit might not be good anymore. I just ordered a new kit. The readings were: FC = 3.38...

I was just getting my pool ready for opening and wanted to put some shock in it. I bought a box of 6 packets of the HTH brand. I chose one of the bags and it said to put it in the skimmer and then brown particles came out of the jets and the pool turned completely brown. That's when I saw the...

Greetings and Salutations !!! My fiberglass pool is about 7 years old now and unfortunately due to age, sun, suntan oil, etc I have a water line and above the waterline it is slightly faded. I think you would call it oxidized. I was thinking of draining it just to about 2 inches below the...

I apologize on the front end if this is posted in the wrong place. Greetings and Salutations, I just had my water tested and the computer spit out the results below. I think the water looks fine (we have a salt water generator) but the numbers do not look good at all. Can you please advise what...

OK ... here are my numbers: FC = 7.5 Salt = 2600 CH = 200 CYA = 75 TA = 60 pH = 7.8 Pho = 500 Based on a 15,000 gallon fiberglass pool with a SWG and the Pool Calculator I come up with: PoolMath FC = Do nothing Salt = Add 100 lbs. CH = Add 222 oz by weight or 177 oz by volume of...

I read a few posts about the dreaded black waterline and the solutions ranged from Mr. Eraser to using a scumball to using a paste of baking soda on the abrasive side of a sponge, etc. Has anyone ever heard of or used Marine 31 Heavy Cut Oxidation Cleaner to clean the Gel Coat and then followed...

Today's #s: FC = 2 / to get it to 4, I need to add 62oz. of bleach CC= 0 / I am OK here ... I think pH= at least 8 - I guess I need to add 14oz. of Muriatic Acid CH=310 / lower 13% of my water Salt= ??? but SWCG says 3,100 CYA=100 / replace 25% of my water TA = 90 / nothing to do here as once pH...

I hope everyone here will have patience as I tend to be on the anal side with OCD tendencies. I was checking out the Salt Water Chlorine Generators section in the Pool School and then clicked on a link that took me to the Water Balance for SWG's section. It says to ..." adjust salt to the...

Greetings and Salutations !!! Full disclosure upfront !!!! I bought a Taylor K-2006 Test Kit a couple of years back but just got lazy and started relying on Leslie's. Unfortunately, everything they recommend hasn't worked, so like the Prodigal Son, I have returned home to my TFP family. My...

I have a fiberglass pool that lists 19k gallons but when you subtract the steps and ledges, 15k gallons is more accurate. Per Leslie's my numbers are as follows: FAC = 1 TAC = 1 Salt = 2800 CH = 275 CYA = 60 TA = 120 pH = 7.7 Pho = 0 My water is CLOUDY and has brownish algae on the sides ...

Greetings and Salutations ! I have a silly question ... I bought Natural Chemistry PHOSfree Commercial Strength 3L back in 2016 and I've never used it. So now I can't remember why I bought it ... BUT ... according to my latest pool water test, I need to add Natural Chemistry Pool Perfect. My...

My pool is 5 years old and will now need its 4th pump !!! All have been Waterco, so I will DEFINITELY not be going with Waterco. It was a 2 hp model for a 16k gallon fiberglass pool with a sand filter, salt water chlorinator and 3 small waterfalls. Any advice? I really can't afford a...

This pool site is AWESOME !!! I am learning soooooooooo much. Unfortunately, I still shudder when I open my panel. Is there anyone that can tell me what the below means? It flashes in sequence all day long and I'm not sure if I'm in trouble. P.S. I did clean out the cell last week with...

FC - 2 ppm TAC - 2 pH - 7.6 TA - 60 CH - 200 CYA - 40 Phos - 300 ppb Salt - 2100 The above numbers were given to me today from Leslie's. According to them I need to: Add three 40 lb. bags of salt Add one gallon of Instant Pool Water Conditioner Add eleven pounds of...

Greetings and Salutations ! I have a 19,800 gallon salt system fiberglass pool in Marietta, GA. I would like a water testing kit that tests FAC, pH, TA, CYA. calcium hardness, salinity and phosphate level. What is the best one out there in your opinion? Thanks!
