Where in the La Porte, Pasadena, Houston area can I get 5 gallon refillable sodium Hypochlorite. Bleach works so much better than Di chlor or Tri chlor , but it is a pain dealling with all the bottles full AND empty

I had to leave for a few days, but had my wife and daughter keep up with the brushing and vacuuming, and adding 2 gallons of bleach per day. pool is much more blue, and clearing up. I cleaned the filters Saturday, got a fair amount of dirt and much algae, Pentair filters washed up very well with...

Like a bad penny I'm back. I successfully replaced the Hayward with the Pentair. (the Hayward S244S was removed undamaged and with all the parts including multiport valve, free to a good home) Good news is I can vacuum to my hearts content. Bad news is there does seem to be a leak on the Stairs...

How are the top diffuser, and lateral tree connected? Is it just slip fit?

I have the Taylor 2006 kit, The big one Leslies sells. Is there reason to replace the sand, or can it be re used? I think I was confusing Total Chlorine with Combined, the Free Chlorine and Total Chlorine almost always matches.

My Chlorine was running 8-8.5 so the algae does not seem to be consuming Chlorine (bleach) like it was. But the filter is still vomitting dirt and silt back into the pool, and plugs up with only 1/3 of the pool vacuumed. My thinking is that replacing the filter, I can rule it out of the loop...

I was reading ABCs of pool chemistry. It says Combined Chlorine should be 0.5 ppm or less. My Cc almost always matches my Fc, I had thought if the Cc did NOT match the Fc you had something consuming chlorine.

that is no problem I can drop it a foot with no issues (if there is no heavy rain) The steps are covered in sand, from all 4 stair nozzles.

I have to be careful pumping out the pool, 1st it is a lined pool, 2nd we are very close to the water table here pools float, and my liner has loosened twice. floater is out.

Blocked in the inline chlorinator What source of bleach is best?

Test results as of 1830 66f temp 1.5 ppm FC 1.5 ppm CC 7.4 PH 80 ppm CYA Yesterday I used the Yellow out, and 1 bag of HTH 7 in 1 shock I also have the Inline Tab chlorinator running full on, and a floater I just added 4 gallons of the HEB Bleach Pool still has light green tint Pump is...

I will keep the chlorine level up until Monday, then load up on bleach and slam the pool. Wife just texted and said sand was blowing into the shallow end, again. I am dealing with several issues, the liner loosened up all the way around the pool 3 weeks ago (but went back tight thank God) The...

BTW, there is a Giant oak tree over the shallow end that dearly loves to drop pounds of leaves in the pool, so the bio load is pretty high.

Using the Leslie rebranded K2006, and test strips, the CYA varies with how much water I am having to flush out. The highest reading was 80, But I had to backflush enough last week, that it zeroed out, I had to add stabilizer, that brought it back to 40. I vacuumed Monday, Wednesday, and Friday...

Bought the house late November, and the poolman was keeping the chlorine at 10+ppm. I am trying to keep Cl2 at 4ppm but the pool is staying dirty, as in the filter plugs before I can finish vacuuming, water gets and stays cloudy (even while vacuuming very slowly). Then when I backwash the...

What is everybody using for a swim mask / dive mask and fins?

how critical are the Vinyl / Fiberglass tires for a vinyl lined pool?

backed the lock knob all the way off, I will need to try and find a model number on the valves. but they suction was pretty tight, and the discharge was tight enough somebody broke the handle.

On my pool the 3 way valves have the name Pentair on them, is this different from a Jandy valve or a rebrand? they are pretty stiff, and in fact the handle is broken on the return side to the jets (pool has 7 jets one of which has no flow) I need to know what parts kit to buy for when I break...

One of the You Tubers seems to like the Hayward Poolvergnugen The Pool Cleaner. it looks to be fairly maintenance free (tires need changing), and it picks up fairly large leaves. anybody have experience with these? I will be replacing the tires with Vinyl/Fiberglass tires.

You assume correctly

fixing to close on a house with pool I am buying, and was cleaning up from the bad storms we had. So after I finish vacuumimg the pool, the pool boy comes in the back yard with 2 big carboys, and up ends them in the shallow end. no test no nothing just dumps them. FC was already 10+. But there...

Using Leslies kit goes to green, but titrates only to yellow (50 drops) does that mean TA is really low or very high and I did not hit final titration point? FC was 10+ could it be just bleaching the result?

I have the Leslies branded Taylor kit As of yesterday FC. 7.5 PH 7.2 TA 40 CH. 70 CYA. 60

In TFP management the Baking Soda / Total Alkalinity controls the PH swing am I right?

they seemed pretty firm when stepped on, no "squish"

Re: "Un Wrinkling a Vinyl liner One thing for sure Living this close to the coast, with all this rain I am NOT going to lower the water level, right now She will float the pool for sure. - - - Updated - - - BTW what are any special precautions I should take, to prevent chemically...

They are not bad I will try to post picks Monday mostly run side to side in the shallow end and may be seam repairs / reinforcements

I will be switching to BBB method Have not used any Borax yet how critical is the Borate test and what does that influence beyond increasing the Total Alkilinity?

We had several pool shells float up from the last big rain we had here, so if you are going to completely drain it make sure the water table is below the bottom of your pool.
