Good article. My test never turns that blue. More grape/purple color. I'll pull a sample and take photos and post them here so people can tell me if the colors look normal or not.

Unless I am doing the test wrong. When I put in the drops, the water is not turning a dark red, only a pinkish color. Does this sound right?

Checked my fill water last night. Fill water is 450. After that i rechecked my pool water and got 850. From what I am reading, there is not much I can do. I drained 25% of the water in late June due to the salt level being to high. It has taken me since then to get the other numbers in line...

I think I will test my fill water tonight and see what happens.

Yes, it is a new pool this year with plaster/quartz mix. I'm not sure what the fill water level is. Is it possible I am reading the test wrong when I put the drops in the tube and it only turns pink? It is not turning a dark or bright colored red. This is why I am not sure if I am doing the test...

I have had my test kit about 5 weeks maybe, and I have almost gotten everything where it needs to be, except the CH. When I do this test, it does not turn red, but pink. I continued on with the test, and according to it, my CH is somewhere around 900-920. Doesn't that sound extremely high? When...

We installed a new inground pool this year. We are noticing a large amount of spiders around it. A few are making their way into it. Really gross as I have found a few very large ones in the skimmers. I started spraying around it and the patio. Is anyone else having the same issue and if so...

here are the other 2 pics.

I have 5 pics to upload. 3 in this reply and 2 in another

I'll take a picture when I get home and post it tonight. The problem I see, is that the only 2 manual valves are for 1-spa fountain, 2- shear decents in the pool, everything else is automatic via wiring.

That would be ok with us, we would prefer not to have it overflowing 100% of the time. The super told me that they could rewire but it would be a pain for me because if I wanted it to overflow from the fountain, it would have to be manually rewired everytime.

Hi there, I need some expert advice from anyone who can help me or possibly is having or has had the same situation as me. New in ground salt water pool installed in spring. I have been using the BBB method for about 1 month now, I have almost everything under control except for the PH. I know...

Was wondering how other people store their Muriatic Acid safely? I currently keep it in the box it came in up high on a shelf in my garage pushed to the back so that nobody but myself can get to it. I am curious to hear if there are better ways to store it. Thanks

I actually drained 23% of my water 2 weeks ago to lower the salt content. It went from 4200 down to 3000-3100 depending on the goldline remote. I can test my fill water tonight to see if the calcium is high. Actually I stopped testing around 40 drops because I was afraid I was doing something wrong.

I got my TF-100 kit last week. I have used it twice. I am getting the hang of all the test except the CH test. It says if the water turns red, you have calcium in it. Mine is turning light pink. I contiunued with the test and after about 40 drops, nothing changed. Am I doing something wrong or...

I have picked up more MA and stabilizer. I am ready to put chemicals in once the rain in Dallas stops. I have 1 question that I need one of the experts to answer please.... What do I work on first? lowering PH, raise chlorine, raise CYA, or put all of the chemicals in at the same time? Sounds...

Hi there, I just got my new TF100 test kit today. I ran the tests, but I'm not sure about some of the results I got from it. I have posted some numbers below. My problem is that my PH keeps going up and chlorine keeps going down. Hopefully this test kit will help me fine tune everything...

Hi there, new to the board and to owning a salt water pool. Let me give some background information so that hopefully someone can tell me if I am on the correct path. After following the pool builders advice I put all 9 bags of salt into the pool. It threw the salt content to 4200 ppm for a...
