I had been having some trouble with FC losses of 3.5 to 5.5 ppm a day. My pool is in full sun from 10 am to 5 pm. My reading on my CYA test appeared to be between 40 and 50 then. After posting my issues I decided to add a bit more stabilizer a few weeks ago. I now am seeing 2 to 3 ppm drop per...

Ok I am on day 5 of my new pool. I was raising my TA and PH from previous days readings. In making a last adjustment to my PH from 7.2 to 7.5 my TA rose to 110 from 90. Is this an ok level? I have seen 70 to 90 and I have seen 100 to 150 as being safe levels. Also for an above ground vinyl pool...

My wife has stated that she would like a light in our pool and I kind of agree. Any recommendations on one for a 24 ft round hat holds up and does not leak? Do the ones the replace your return hinder circulation?

I am having my 24 foot round pool installed next Friday and am torn whether to use foam on floor rather then sand. One, is 1 inch rigid foam ok to use? I can not find 1 1/2", only 2" and that is 34.00 a sheet. The 1 inch is 17.00. Two is tongue and groove better or square edge? My thoughts on...
