Thank you for this timely link. What is meant by adding water to the pump to prime. Where do I add water? I thought I just turn it ON and wait. Can you please link to article on this topic.

After the initial testing and fixing, here is test result. I am planning to bring the TA and CYA up. Also adding salt to bring it up to 3400. Do I need to add calcium as well? Accordingly to Pool Math Calculator, I need to add some calcium chloride. Wondering if my current level is OK. pH =...

A week later, Free Cl = 6 ppm CC=none or 1 drop Calcium H = 300 ppm Total Alkanity = 60 pH = 7.9-8. CYA = none (am I measuring it wrong) Salt = 3400 (salt cell says 3200) Temperature of water = 64F According to pool calculator, I need to add Muriatic acid and liquid stabilizer for CYA? Wouldn't...

Thanks to all. Since I already had dichlor from PB, I used it according to the calculator. Not sure how much CYA it would add. When should I test next to see whether my additions worked, in a few days? Do I need to add additional acid for pH as shown below. It seems that the dichlor should lower...

Hi, We had a new pool so we are new to all this. The PB was maintaining the pool for the two months and now are doing it ourselves. Here is my test results from TF-100 kit. FC= 1ppm Total Cl = 1 (no combined chlorine) PH=8.2 TA = 60 CH = 325 ppm Salt = 3200 (from salt cell); I tested 4600 ppm...

We need suggestions if we are doing something wrong. The PB is suggesting using a common pump for water feature, spa, and pool. We are worried that may create problems esp if salt water starts eroding the rocks and we want to cutoff the water feature. We are in the process of bidding on pool...

We were planning to put a waterfall but realized the rock may not work with the salt. The boulders were supposed to be arkansas boulders which are better than moss rock. Any recommendations for rock and even better does any one have these rocks with a salt system?

With PB2, we can pick either pebble or mini-pebble.

Thanks for the very useful site. We are in the process of bidding on pool construction and have read through a number of forum posts and pool school, which has been very helpful. We are planning a build in North Texas (DFW area), pool size is about 88 ft in perimeter ~ 35ft x20 ft, ~15,000...
