I am thinking of replacing my Pentair Superflo single stage with a variable stage Pentair. I currently have a 1.5 hp. I want to stay with pentair due to not having to change the plumbing much but I am lost as to what pump might work with my electricity and needs for circulation. I have an in...

i just tested tonight FC 8 CC 0 PH 7.6 CYA 60 CH 280 TA 180 My hose water from city water is testing at 280 on ch as well so I am not sure how to get it down. Fire department uses city water as well and so does local pool water delivery company so I am sure every pool has problems with CH...

I have searched forever on here about Sequa Sol and have found some useful info but can't find what I am looking for. Does Sequa Sol or similar products affect the chlorine test that I do? I have heard that it can cause higher than actual chlorine readings but I don't know how to account for...

Am i correct in that liquid chlorine will not cause cya to raise like the pucks do? I was thinking of putting my pool cover pump on my first step and putting my hose in at the bottom of deep end and letting them run simultaneously to replace some water. Might be a dumb idea. My city water is...

I had the pool company open my pool last wednesday. When they open the automatically dump 4 gallons of chlorine and a half of a small tube of stabilizer. I tested the pool last week and everday since. I cannot get my chlorine to come down so I think it is throwing my other tests as well. In...

I have a 50lb bucket of pucks I just bought before I learned what they do to CYA. If anyone is interested. :) Right now I have about 8 gallons of chlorine and MA on hand which is a lot different than when I was getting pool stored 2 weeks ago.

So I am still figuring this out. I have eliminated the cc and it hasn't showed its ugly head in about 4 days. My problem is that when I check fc it usually goes from 7 to 4 or so in about 24hrs. I have not done a slam yet due to time constraints and realize that I probably need to. My...

I tested my ch from tap/hose bib and it registered at 270. I guess refilling with that water won't help ch numbers. FC was up to 3 today so I add more chlorine from the calculator so by tomorrow morning I should be close to 7. Does it take a while for cc to come down when I am trying to get...

By stabilized you mean don't use the tablets correct? I also use glb algecide, clear blue, oxy powder, and sequa sol once per week. The sequa sol is because I was having a problem with my heater getting clogged and sequa sol helps keep calcium suspended and not bind to heater. Do I need to use...

thank you for the help guys. I am really excited to actually understand all of this.

I am one of those guys that trusted the dip sticks to test water. I finally upgraded to the test kit and automatic swirler. I ran all my numbers tonight and then used the taylor website to put them in and give me an idea of what to do. Here are the numbers CYA 60 CH 240 TA 190 PH 7.3 FC .8...
