Hi All, Long story short within the past 4 days I have seen the salt level read from the IC drop from 3750 (read relatively consistently for 2 months) to 2750 (-1000ppm). My Aquacheck test strips (not expired) read at about 6.4 or 3290ppm. I'm wondering if the acid injection may have impacted...

Hi All, Thanks again for all the help with everything everybody. We had our pool built about a month ago and I put in the Hayward Navigator Pro yesterday (been 30 days so should be ok on the quartz). Anyway, when I hooked it up to the dedicated suction port on my pool I used the provided flow...

Hi All, My new pool got an acid bath to expose the aggregate quartz (Pool was filled just over 1 week ago). I was able to neutralize the acid using a combination of soda ash and baking soda. Unfortunately I overshot the TA by a little bit but not by much. My current numbers are: PH: 7.6 TA...

We would like to neutralize our no drain acid wash. My ph is 3 and the pool is approximately 7800 gallons. According to the pool calc I need 268oz of soda ash. The soda ash container says to not add more than 40oz at a time so should I not just dump it all in? What about aeration? I don't want...

My PB just started an Acid Bath (probably around 4 to 6 gallons in my 7600g pool; my wife saw him add it but we didn't get a full count) and the PH dropped to 3.2 (according to my PH meter). How do I test if TA is zero? I have the TF 100 and as soon as I add the "green" reagent R-0008 which...

Alright, inspection passed this morning so we are ready for plaster tomorrow. My wife and I elected to do Quartzscapes in French Gray because we thought it was much smoother than the mini pebble Stonescapes. The TF100 arrives today as well as a PH meter. Now the big question is to bicarb or...

Hi All, My wife and I have been looking at all sorts of glass tile for installation in the waterline of our pool. I'm familiar with the Thermal Shock compliances that are "voluntary" but this really doesn't help when selecting pool tile since nearly all the sources I can see online don't...

Hi All, First, this forum is awesome! This is my goto place for all advice around pools (definitely a little daunting with all the things to consider). So, we have been making progress on our pool build and the basics are as follows: Pool 245sq ft with 71' perimeter (approx 8500 gallons)...

Hi All, Our rough plumbing has been completed and we passed inspection but are preparing for shotcrete this weekend. One thing I noticed was on the spa drain pipe one of the joints has a small drip that is leaking. It's not too bad but should the plumber fix this or is it common to have a small...

I'm working on an O/B project in San Diego and have gotten quotes from several subs in my area on various facets of the construction. One thing that I have noticed and it really HAS NOT been echoed by the other O/Bs in other areas (like Vegas or AZ) is that getting the bids back seems to take...
