New hot tub owner. Trying to balance chemicals. I cannot for the life of me get my pH down. It has been at or over 8.0 for several days despite adding acid. Water is crystal clear. Any suggestions? Do I keep adding acid every few hours until it works? pH 8.0+ TA 70 CH 150 CYA <30

Our pool/spa store is closed for the week due to the holiday and I’m out of calcium hardness increaser. I have some HTH Calcium Up for my pool. Can I use that in my hot tub?

We recently got a hot tub and was given the @ease system to use. I was given instructions on shocking with 1oz dichlor and 2oz MPS weekly. Well the @ease system wasn’t keeping up with heavy usage. My tub was turning slightly green in color (still very clear) and my CC was through the roof. So I...

I have a 24k gallon in ground vinyl pool. Looking for recommendations for a pump and filter. I currently have a Hayward sand filter and pump and am tired of replacing parts and repairing. I want something reliable and efficient. Thank you!!

Sorry for the lengthy post… So we had some trouble getting our pool clear last year but after some struggle we got to a level that was swimmable, but not as clear as I would have liked. We ended up having our pump completely serviced changing out seal, o-rings, cleaning impeller, etc. Seemed to...

We had some plumbing issues and the water sat stagnant for a hot and sunny week until we could get the materials needed for the repair. Needless to say the pool was dark green. I slammed the pool for several days. It turned blue, test kit has shown zero combined chlorine for a long time. I...

Pool was very green upon start up and we had a little trouble with the pump system. Everything seems to be running now. I have been shocking the pool quiet often. I’ve gone through roughly 32 gallons of shock. Filter has been running continuously for 9 days. We have a Hayward sand filter with...

I have an older Hayward Super Pump. I’m having trouble finding parts with the correct model number. Any suggestions? I need to replace the ceramic shaft seal, housing gasket, and diffuser gasket. Also, any idea how old this pump is? We bought the house with the pool.

Trying to get my pool going for the summer. I have a 25k gallon pool with a Hayward super pump and sand filter. I have a skimmer and bottom drain. I knew we had to change the sand this year so we did that. Filled the pool up, hooked up pump, filter, and piping. Filled the pump basket with the...

I am currently shocking my pool at around 20ppm. Trying to clear a bad algae bloom. Anyway.. Can I use my dolphin nautilus while shocking the pool? The instructions say nothing over 4ppm. But that seems crazy!

I am currently waiting on my FAS DPD to be delivered. In the mean time I have decided to get my water tested at the local pool store (assuming it must be better than the strips that I have). My test results were as folows: CYA: 0 Total Chlorine 9.2 Free Chlorine 8.2 PH 7.7 Total Alkalinity 98...

We recently purchased a home that was vacant for some time with a pool that had not been run in several years. We decided to open it two weeks ago. After removing several bags of leaves and pine needles, we slammed the pool. Chemicals are good, however, my pool is very cloudy. If I look close...
