    Cleaning Chlorine Vial

    Is there an easy way to clean the chlorine test vial from the purple residue? Water and a pipe cleaner just don’t get it.

    Water Clarity

    Lol. Truthfully not my intent. Just want to maximize the clarity. I wish there was a clarity index. I’m very grateful I found this forum!

    Water Clarity

    Clarity index. The deep end with the drains are 10 feet. The water is clear. I’m SLAMing right now into my 3rd day. All three criteria are met. I’m just wondering if the water can get any clearer?

    CH on a Pebble-Tec pool

    I saw where pol math has values for 350-550 for CH but Pebble Tec website said it should be 200-400. Which is correct? Mine currently is 275. See signature

    When the pool is filled up: - I'm going to check the CYA level, if good then I will check and adjust the pH between 7.2-7.5 first with the filter on - Do I need to take initial readings on FC/CH/TA and CC prior to SLAM?

    Can't stop adding on! Middle Ga pool build

    So we did some research on which components to select for an outdoor kitchen and purchased them. We drew out the kitchen in chalk and hired the mason that built the fire place to construct the kitchen. We wanted thick and rounded counter tops. We then contracted a cement decorator who applied...

    Can't stop adding on! Middle Ga pool build

    It's actually an epoxy-resin. We wanted something to ignite that area of the pool and think we achieved it! All the stone is hand chipped and we wanted it to flow with the rest of the house so the only creativity we could induce lied in the countertop. The countertop is 4" thick concrete.
