Is that the old school way it was done? His understanding was that the sand is supposed to get under any of the slab that has lifted. Can I also use the sikaflex on the Cracks that are in the slab?

Hey there, I have owned my pool for 10 years it is a 40 year old pool and the original deck-o-seal that was installed 10 years ago is failing. I want to do the project and was wondering if you guys prefer sikaflex or some other Sika product? My father-in-law had mentioned that his pool guy used...

Have to say my pool looks amazing, I'm not mad at bromide at all

Thanks for that!

I hear a lot of Witchcraft on both sides of the conversation and I was hoping to find some factual information regarding how sodium bromide degrades in an outdoor environment The writer of the article agrees with the pool chemical guy but there isn't much else out there

According to this article sunlight will convert bromine into inactive bromate

Jock Hamilton, president of United Chemical sells a line of pool specialty chemicals that are based on sodium bromide. He claims that bromide in pool water breaks down rapidly, rather than slowly. Apparently, he's right . . . at least for outdoor pools exposed to sunlight. Let me state it this...

There has to be some finite amount of chlorine that this finite amount of bromide will react with looking for an equation I will not be adding any additional sodium bromide to the cool and it will eventually exhaust the sodium bromide that is in the water from what I have read the bromine is...

After several bouts with mustard algae and trying the slam process twice I resorted to adding sodium bromide to my pool as the final solution I added 4 pounds to a 13000 gallon pool the pool is outside and gets a lot of direct sun so the bromine levels don't stay high during the daytime I have...

The rep I had recommended fence first as it is always closed automatically behind whoever enters the pool area and can be locked while the net relies on Humans 2 install and uninstall daily. I do agree that if you are going to run a cover the net would give you extra protection especially in the...

Hello there everyone, After doing a no drain acid wash that went swimmingly lol my 12 year old plaster in-ground 13000 gallon pool got a 90% water change and now I am ready to get started on the path to a trouble free pool :-) Test results are as follows PH 7.5 Ta 110 Ch 290 FC 5.0 Cya 40...

Hello to all and thank you for your messages I actually own a pinpoint pH monitor that allows me to dip a probe into the pool and know the pH instantly it is a carryover from my days in the marine aquarium industry and if you guys don't like pH testing with chemicals I would highly recommend it...

Yep I checked that out where I get messed up is the pool calculator tells me to add way more acid than that thread it tells me to add and I may have added too much Sent from my SM-J700T1 using Tapatalk
