Thanks for the info/advice. So since I live in TX and rain is not a regular thing I should avoid using pucks and stick to using only liquid Chlorine. I was doing some searching online and found out about Chlorinators. Is this a good system to look into? what are they exactly? can I use liquid...

Hi I am getting mixed messages. Are chlorine pucks good or bad. Thank you

Is there a material that would limit the growth of algae? I am planning or repainting the pool, it has some minor cracks and was wondering if there are a paint/material the limits or stops algae growth. Thank you

I think I will do the same. attempt to raise the CYA to at least 20 then use the pucks. Which CYA product you suggest to use?

Thank you for the feed back. the pool looks good "clear water" but I was using lots of amounts of Chlorine, I have few cracks at the bottom of the pool. they are not new. but I am not sure if the are getting larger/longer. I will re-do the PH and CYA but I doubt the CYA will change. The black...

PH > 8.2 "did it at night with house light so I can be wrong" CH 500 TA 150 CYA < 20 So my PH, CH and TA are high and CYA is low. I need to fix this. what is the best way to do it? I took a fast look at the pool calculator and looks like PH and TA are related/effect each other so I still...

Hi I have two kind of stains in my pool, one is the left over leafs that were at the bottom of the pool for a long time and the other is black marks where there is cracks in the pool floor, how/what is the best method to tackle each of them? Pic included for reference, I hope it's clear

Background: my pool was green when I decided that I had enough advice from the pool store "3rd green pool this season" so I came here and started learning, I figured I needed to SLAM my pool and without drop test I had no idea how much Chlorine I need so I added 3 jugs of 8.25% every night, some...

I was looking for Standard Rectangle Covers, here are some pics of my pool which is 16.5' X 32' including the brick boarder on the side which is 9.5", I am just not sure about the side close to the fence, as you can see from the pics I only have the brick boarder and then rocks, under the rocks...

Hi We are looking to get a pool cover for the winter to keep leafs out of the pool, we had someone comes over and gave us a quote around $1500 to buy and install the covers, I checked online and I found pool covers from Swimming Pool Kits | Swimming Pool Equipment | Swimming Pool Accessories |...

Well the Taylor test kit I have does not include the white powder, the TF-100 kit I ordered won't arrive until Sep 21. This morning the water looked much better, I can see the ground, it's still cloudy but the green color is gone, I took a Chlorine reading and it was 7.5 so I added another...

Thank you for the response, I have k-2006 testkit but I don't think I know how to test for chlorine levels above 10, I ordered the TF-100 kit w/speed Stir and the Extra package, yesterday I added at sunset 4 jugs of Bleach (3.75ml) 8.25%, the water does not look that green, there is a green...
