i know, not a popular choice in here, but I don’t mind using it at the beginning of the season or out on vacation. Anyway, I have an inline chlorinator and on max right now but it does not seem to be putting any CL in. It’s a Jandy and uses Tri-Chlor pucks. The pucks are dissolving but no...

Hello all, I was talking to a neighbor who also had a mesh cover and said she had no leaves and opened with little cleaning at opening of her pool. When I asked how, she said she had a tarp with bag weights over her mesh cover. Anyone else have luck with this?

Hello all, any one have luck with getting this stuff off coping tile?

Hey everyone, I’m looking to get a back up VS motor and pump combo. I would like to get one that all I have to do is plug and play from the old one. Any recommended places?

I have some new stains on my skimmer baskets. It does come off relatively easy but wondering if it’s pollen or something else? Pollen is really bad this year in Md, ok well every year in md. Any thoughts? All numbers are good to go.

So I read quite a few threads that have had similar issues with loss of FC to 0 after adding Calcium to raise the hardness. Is it possible. I had FC of 6 this morning and now at 3:30 a fc of 0 and low ph, 7.2. My cya is almost 0 though but could I lose that much fc in a day? Seems odd

So I have done a lot of the reading on here about 0 cya. Opened yesterday checked levels today and see my cya is at 0?? Water is clear, numbers below. fc-8 Tc-0 Ph-7.6 Cya-0 Ta-60 Ca-125 working tomorrow to raise calcium. could it be ammonia. I really don’t smell much of anything.

So I had to get some repairs done to my coping before opening and although it will be fully opened in a couple days I have noticed the slight green tint getting greener. My ph was high, 8.0 or higher, and no FC. Getting my CL tomorrow but since I had some Muriatic acid and have worked in...

Well had to get some work done prior to opening and cover came off today. My ocd is off the charts with these leaves but have to wait a few days for caulking to dry. Pool opens on Thursday.

I was helping someone today that is new to pools and bought a house with a pool that was not well taken care of. It’s about 25-30k gallon vinyl inground. Took cover off for first time today and the algae was overwhelming and was clumping one the bottom. My question is, when I tested the water...

Is anyone else’s ph steady most of the week? I adjusted my chemicals properly and have good numbers all around. My TA is 75 and my ph is 7.6 and has held steady for about a week now. I don’t think I have ever had my ph so steady. Is this normal. Lol I shouldn’t complain but I thought after...

Hello all, so pool is looking pretty good. My numbers look great but the pool math app tells me CSI is not right. What am I missing. Also my PH is pretty stable, which is odd sice it usually has some variance throughout the day. FC- 4 Ph- 7.6 Ch- 225 Ta- 75 Temp 55 brrr I have added Calcium...

Hello all, it’s that time again. I really never know which to do first. So I searched around a bit and most of you say get fc up so that is what I did. I had only fc of 1 before. FC- 7 Ph-7.8 Ta- 50 Ch- 175 Cya- 35 I just opened this morning. Thanks

Hello, hope everyone is having a great summer. I have some small stains on some stairs that I believe is some scale but not really sure. What do you guys use for small areas like this? Any Jacks Magic guys out there? Thx in advance

does anybody know if you can put multiple on/off screws on timers? Want to turn in the pump in the morning for a few hours then the rest at night when chlorine is not gassed off so easily. Any thoughts

Does anybody use a robot to vacuum in the winter with their covers on?

Anyone here have experience with using this stuff? I have some scale area I want to get rid of but have some concerns using it. Can you use it for spot removing? Can you swim after using it just for spot removal? Any precautions? I have read the directions but looking for real time use...

Got some good numbers but seems a bit cloudy. Had a big pool party yesterday and raised the fc numbers up some in advance. Fc-6.5 Ph- 7.6 Cc-0 Cya-40 Ta-50 Ch-200 Maybe it’s just my eyes but seems not as crystal as I have seen before. Really hot days up here inNE. Thanks

I got some calcium chloride that is 94-97% pure. I assume this will work? Will this affect any other numbers? Fc-4 Cc-0 Ta-50 Ph-7.6 Cya-40 Ch-175 Thanks.

I need to add stabilizer and increase hardness, any reason I should not do both at same time? Also can you swim while adding these. Thx

Well I guess I added to much acid now. FC-4 Cc-0 Ph- less than 7 TA-50 Ch-150 Cya-50 Should I use baking soda or ph up?

I use a company to open and close but maintain my pool throughout the season, the cover is to heavy to do on my own. Anyway, the company put shock in before I got to test anything. But I do maintain some chlorine in the winter with liquid chlorine once a month and circulate with a submersible...

The local pool store is having a “sale” on robot cleaners and I’m thinking of getting one. Anyone have good ones to go for or bad day es to stay away from? I see amazon and eBay have some cheaper ones but don’t want to get junk. Thx

Recently went on vacation, 5 days, and was surprised and how well my pool did on chemical balance. I have only owned this pool for three year, this being my third. My ph has never been so stable and my chlorine is also doing well. I did have to use pucks while I was out but have been...

Anyone have any luck with brushing minor metal stains with stainless brush on plaster to remove them, without using a jacks magic type product?

All, Just FYI, amazon has 20 skimmer socks for 17.95. Cheap buy for good product Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello all, I know my alkalinity is a little low, 50, but my ph is stable and Fc looks good too. My question is, if I raise my Alkalinity a bit will it help with some plaster discoloring? Recent numbers Fc- 4 Cc- 0 Ta- 50 Ph- 7.4 Cya - 70 Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am still fairly new at pool stuff but learning. The pool guy opened on Tuesday and dumped about 4 bags of shock in my 30k gallon pool. I checked my levels today and my levels were as follows fc- 10 Cc - 0 ta- 50 CyA - 30 pH - 8 Calcium hardness- 300 My question is with all the shock in there...
