The SWG is AQR15 and not AQR9. So, it should be good for the ~25k pool. I did not have to add water till now. Touch wood. No leaks. A short while ago before I saw the last message: I have added 25lbs of CH on the deep end gradually and mixed after each container. 1 gallon of bleach to keep...

I am awaiting a refill of CYA reagent from Taylor for my K2006. Meanwhile, these are my levels today after I added 34oz of Muriatic acid and 1 gallon of bleach yesterday. FC - 2ppm CC - 0 PH - >8 (tables indicate I need to add 1.72 qts now) TA - 90ppm (I am guessing I can leave this alone for...

Short version: Tightened A bit more now. The plaster is a little concave around the area and made it harder to get a flush fit. Long version: removed the faceplate and noticed that 2nd tab at the back and the screw are mismatched. The light case is a pentair. The back niche is from 30+ years...

I shall try that and report back. Cannot thank you enough.

I will head home during lunch and see if tightening that screw will do it. I did not touch it at all and maybe it was held in place with the water all this while and "fell down" once it was drained. If its flush with the wall but has a little gap that water can seep in, that's fine? That's what...

This is what it looks like. Should this be flush and water tight? Thanks for the prompt responses.

Drained my pool and got the water line tiles replaced. i noticed that this pool light fixture is off a bit Is that gap normal or should I seal it up? Please advice. I stopped filling water above the light last night to make sure I have access to it in case. Thanks

I believe the stains are organic. I do test my water myself (been a couple of weeks since last test) and will post some results this evening. My CYA levels were high a while ago and been maintaining with regular bleach since then. Regards. So, if I am hearing this right, there is no upside to...

How about converting to SWG during this down time? Is there a time before the chemistry needs to level off? Thanks.

Bear with me here. i) We don't know when the water was drained/changed last in this new to us FW gunnite pool. ii) Stains on the side walls iii)High CYA levels iv) We want to go with a SWG Am I better off just getting it acid washed, drained(wife would love this) and refilled while going with...

@bdavis466 - Nice to see the visual. Helps me a lot. - - - Updated - - - @psualum - Looking forward to your build photos. Looks like the AB phenomenon is catching fire slowly but surely. @pooldv -- yeah, looks like thats the route I'd go if I go with AB. Looking at all options since we moved...

Thanks for confirming this. That pool color looks great. What is it?

I am in the process of getting some quotes for our 20x40 gunnite pool with AB. Is it necessary to have the old water tiles replaced or can we just put AB on that area (all the way till the coping) after demoing out old tiles? Does anyone have any pictures of pools done such a way? I am...

Re: Pool Resurface Project - UPDATE Sorry but I have been way too busy at work and have not checked back in here in a while. I will read up on Aqua Bright. Another new thing I am learning now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Pool Resurface Project - UPDATE Subscribing to this informative thread. We are considering re-plastering and pebbletec in the near future for our 40+ year old gunite pool and can learn from you being located in Atlanta and all.

Ran some tests today after adding bleach on monday and tuesday. Yesterday was really cold to run any test and today is just getting warmer. FC 8 ppm CC 0 PH 7.6 and I added 4 drops of R005 to bring down ph to 7.2 TA 100ppm CH 210ppm CYA - I tried with half tap water and half pool water. The dot...

Nice to know that tip. You are a life saver. :bowdown: Yeah, the yard is big and I am just about starting on that too. Got my hands full as you can imagine. :)

Have you figured out how PoolMath can help you determine how much MA to use? - I think so. Given an approximate 25k gallons and 110 TA, I am seeing 76oz is required. Am I on the right track? Being on the safe side, I put in about 40 oz of MA now. Will add more depending on tomorrow's results...

Should I add more bleach at this point to bring up the FC and CC? Should I also add more muriatic acid to bring down the pH? The water is clear but there is a good bit of dusty debris (pollen too). The pump basket has been cleaned.

Thanks for reading the timer. I need to get a hang of it and actually have decent lighting in that shed to start with. FC -3 CC -1 CYA - TBD (its stil cloudy both in test solution and weather). Will follow the suggestion of using half tap water and half pool water and report back. ph - 8. I had...

The pool pump is shown here and its controlled by the right timer. I have another booster pump (Centurion) connected to the left timer. I have set the left timer now to start at 10am and go till 2pm. The right will start around 1030 and go till 130. Is that what you see too? Want to make sure I...

A gallon of the generic bleach from Kroger is added. I did start the pumps (filter and cleaner) manually thanks to triptyx. I was freaking out for a second that maybe the pumps were shot or something. I do see a lot of debris in the glass module (?) and I am guessing I need to read up on how to...

I have the Intermatic T10404R Control Center. I guess I will stick to the bleach for now since I want to keep it simple. Regards

So, I found some super soluble Sanitizer chlorine granules and I do have a Haywards Chlorine Feeder. I am guessing I can use them in the long run once this initial bleaching is done? I also have a clean pump and a pool pump with timers set to noon. When I add chemicals, how do I force the pump...

Thanks. Putting 7oz of Muriatic acid now since pool math says about 14oz.

Dang it. :mad: Got the HDX outdoor bleach on impulse when I went to get the muriatic acid and bleach. Double checked just before pouring in and glad I did that. I see that I need to get the germicidal based on other postings. If I go to Kroger, which brand/strength bleach is advised? I do...
