Eight tables and fifty chairs later we're ready to party. Ugh trouble free pool method really made prep tough. I had to put some bleach in. Then float on my raft and enjoy the calm before the storm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone! I'll grab some bleach on the way home. It's been awhile since I've had to do that!

Hosting a kids birthday/pool party this weekend for a friend. Invitations got a little out of control, and 54 people have RSVP'd! :drown: That does not include the kiddos! Not everyone who is coming will swim, but I expect 20-25 kids in the pool. I maintain 80ppm CYA and 6.5 FC with my SWG...

I switched and we do use more acid. That is mainly due to our fill water having high TA and large amounts of evaporation in the hot Arizona summer. When I say "more" I mean about a 1/2 gallon of 31.45% MA a week. Keep in mind our fill water TA is 130, I have a 20K gal pool, the pool is in full...

You need to get your chlorine levels higher with CYA being that high. In fact you may want to drain part of the pool to get the CYA level down first then add your chlorine after refilling. Replace with fresh water and only use bleach or liquid chlorine going forward. The Chlorine/CYA chart at...

A little off topic and just my 2cents, but I would steer clear of the Traeger. I had one and it made great tasting food. But there is a potential for hazard. They market the grill as set it and forget it- set the temp, throw the meat on, and go watch the game. But if the flame inside the...

Oops, I edited the post. That CC should have been CH. A pool with 770 CC doesn't sound inviting. I agree that the TA battle is a pain! It's not the end of the world, but anything I can do to eliminate maintenance and cost is great. Plus I don't like anyone but me handling the 31.45% MA...

I recently switched over to a SWG and am loving the results and ease of maintenance. But I am noticing a steady rise in pH. I've also been battling to get my TA down through acid addition and aeration, but its slow going. It is at 90 now, down from 130 six weeks ago. Some weeks, my TA...

Finally did the extended test. The CYA level was bad but not as bad as I thought. I did the original test inside, and visibility was better in direct sunlight. CYA was still very high at 130ppm. Drained a good portion of the pool, then let it refill while I changed the sand in the filter, put...

Location updated! I am in sunny Arizona. And thanks, the SLAM process was the absolute easiest way I've gone from green spots to blue pool in my relatively short amount of experience. Knowing what to do, and having a kit that tells you what is really going on saves so much money and guess...

Hello everyone! I'm new to joining the forum and a new pool owner. (The pool was put in in the 1960s, its just new to us.) I've been reading through all the very helpful information on this site over the last two weeks and am so grateful for all the helpful information. Like many others...
