Hi everyone I've had this pool for a couple years now, built new by me. I have a TF-Pro testkit that I test constantly with. My problem is that, my salt test kit has been reading and still does read 3600 for over a year now. The ONLY thing I've done to my pool in the last year is added (I'd...

I've gotten fairly good at messing around with the easytouch both on the panel and with the Screenlogic app on my Samsung phone. That being said there are a few things I'd like to fine tune. One is probably fairly easy and I'm just misunderstanding something. The second, is about trying to...

My pool builder is telling me that we won't be putting any chlorine in the pool for about 2 weeks? He says that it will bleach the heck out of the pebble? I went with a black stonescape mini pebble. He's saying not to turn the salt generator on etc? Is this smart? My pool will be green in 2...

The only pool store I have in the area is Leslie's. I haven't been in there but their website says they don't carry MA anymore? They have a different liquid product that does the same thing but it's $11/gallon? What would your approach be if you were me? I see that dry acid is popular but not...

First pool I've ever designed/had built for me, obviously with a lot of help. Very happy with the footprint. Contemplating using Stonescapes black mini pebble. Pool builder trying to convince me to go midnight blue. I'm looking for a very rich reflective surface with a lot of contrasting greys...

First I'm having a **** of a time trying to get my skimmer to clean the top of my pool. I have a valve that controls either skimmer or vacuum. I thought that if I stopped vacuuming every day (and having to set my pump at 2800 rpms), I'd be able to save money by just running the skimmer...

Hi all, I have a kreepy krauly that looks like it's a few years old. My problem is that I'm trying to benefit from energy savings of my new pump, and a friend at work says he runs his pump sub 2000 rpms and it's cleaning his pool very well. As you can see, I have a relatively small pool. One of...

Need clarification on CYA --> FC ratios etc Ok, I've learned a lot at this website, but for the life of me I just don't understand the purpose of keeping CYA so low, and not using trichlor. What is the biggest problem with having a cya so high? Every single person I've talked to, even...

I changed out 80% of my water because of high CH and CYA. Now, there's no CYA in my pool. So, I went to the pool store to pick up some "stabilizer". I picked up a 1.5 pounder because I wanted to see how my pool was going to react to just that much. I think I will probably end up needing more...

2 of the 2 people I know that I work with that do their own pools here in Las Vegas say they don't put chemicals in their pool in the winter time because "algae doesn't grow". Discuss.

Check my signature for which pump I have, but it's obviously one of the new efficient models. That being said, what would you guys recommend I have my pump going for per day? It seems a good cleaning rpm for me is about 2800, and I've thought about running for about 1-2 hours a day at that...

Here are my numbers for my chlorinated pool. TA 90 FC 3.5ppm CC 1ppm CH 700 (Calcium deposits running off of my "waterfall" from jacuzzi into pool, as well as on the edges of the pool. CYA >100 (I asked my wife as well to check the dot and we both couldn't see it and the water level was almost...

I've read quite a few of your posts in these forums, and have taken in a lot of information. Based on that, I was wondering if anyone has tried any of this bleach online at amazon? I haven't begun the bleach adding yet, as I still have to order a test kit. Just looking for a little info on if I...
