As an example, this morning the equipment came on, and the pool heat was on and on said standby. The big issue here is that we don't want the pool heater coming on by itself, but every morning it comes on and shows "on" and "standby"

My pool heater shows "Remote tstat enabled". I've never looked to see if it said this before, but I think my pool heater may be coming on by itself. So here are my questions: 1. Should the pool heater always say "remote tstat enabled" 2. The pool heater also shows that the Spa is set to 101...

Alkalinity is typically around 80, water features (three sheer descents and two 12" spills coming from Hot Tub are always on). I do use the in-line chlorinator. I don't mind so much adding acid, just want to make sure there isn't an underlying problem. - - - Updated - - - The reason I was...

My pool is two years old now. It's a chlorine pool, around 31000 gallons. When it was first installed, I was told the PH would be high for around a year; no problem, I've been adding muriatic acid to lower down closer to 7.4. My question is, why would my PH still be reading high and requiring...

Would the high hardness be what causes the white buildup on my tiles in the corners?

Coming out of the faucet the water is CH = 110 ppm To shock the pool, I used Leslie Pool Supply Fresh 'N Clear Chlorine-Free Shock

I took my readings today and my Calcium Hardness seems concerning. It's been high from day one. The pool is around 2 months old. My current readings: PH 7.4 TA - 80 ppm CH - 400 ppm FC 10 ppm (recently shocked the pool) I've also seen some white along the edges of the water. I used...

My wife and I just installed our pool this year, it was finally opened in early September. This is our first time owning a pool that we maintain fully the chemicals. I'm excited to learn all that I can from this site. I was an E major in college and love engineering so I would think the...

Just as a checks and balance, I used my LaMotte Insta-test 5plus Strips to see if my results were similar, I got the following: FC - around 3+ TC - around 5 Alk - 130 pH - 7.8 TH - 500 I know these strips probably aren't as accurate as my K2006C, but it shows that there is FCI and TCI

The pool was shocked early this morning (wife did it, otherwise I would have used bleach per request) I waited 4 hours and tested with these results: FC - 3.8 ppm CC - 0 pH - 7.8 TA - 100 ppm CH - After 22 drops, it never turned (is this normal or should I...

OK, so I finally got my K-2000C test kit, super excited. I tested my water for chlorine by getting .25ml water, then adding two even scoops of the DPD powder. My water didn't change to pink. I was concerned I received a bad kit, but I had some LaMotte test strips and gave them a try. They...

I'm a month into my pool and I'm not willing to pay $200 monthly to maintain my pool. I've had a few visits to Leslie Pool Supply, and each visit they want to sell me something that costs around $50. In the last three days I've purchased and added 3 bags of shock, 2 big buckets of alkalinity...
