Well I found out 2 things today from working on the pool. #1 I may have had a bloom but it wasn't seriouse. My FC loss is pretty low when I had tested it the last 12 hours, and the pool was pretty clear aside from the green Crud all over the bottom. #2 even though an intex filter may look to...

bama, theres no way my cya would have gotten that high, I've been pretty touchy on relying on my tri-chlor and di-chlor (my only sources of cya) as methods to chlorinate my water. Tri-chlor may be great for shocking but its so potent that I am scared of it blowing the cya out on my little pool...

I can't provide a cya number..i don't have the cya test. So work with me on this. If I just replaced a quarter of my water with new water, I doubt my cya is going to be really high. 10-20ppm is shock levels... 20 if cya is really high. I don't need to keep my cl at a specific level according to...

Why does my attempting to keep the chlorine real high = not wanting to follow the shocking proccess? -_- I simply didn't want to use dichlor, although if you say that CYA reaches zero if chlorine hits zero (although afaik cya and chlorine are 2 different substances, you can have one without the...

I dont think walmart sells it anymore.. they had nothing more then the oto kit last time I went. My current kit is taylors pool and spa trouble shooting kit that I got at pinch a penny. It came with a cylinder I can use for the cya test, I just need to buy the chemicals for it. I decided to...

I am using dpd... and the reason I don't know how high it gets is because the thing only goes as high as 5. I don't need nore plan to buy one that goes to 50 just for a 1700 gallon pool. ^^ CYA I don't have test for yet so its hard to get current results. I figure just as long as I don't abuse...

I have a test kit..I gave you the values of that test kit. Why do you need ta? I'll give the benefit of the doubt and dump in alot of bleach tonight (its a small pool and id like to lay low on the stuff that adds cya after shocking) and keep the chlorine levels high while I filter things out...

It isn't algea, it isn't sticking to anything. I swap between tri chloro pucks and regular bleach. Shock is granulated dichloro. Ive allready posted the results that I have. FC is where ever I want it (2-4 ppm? use 2 pucks or splash some chlorine in. off the charts? mix in the shock). I of...

thus floculant thing has my interest peeked. something that causes dirt to clump better to be picked up by the filter?

About a week and a half ago, I noticed some streaks of this brown dust on the bottom of my pool. I did an attempt to vaccume it but my pump is a pretty sucky 2500g/hr pump and the dirt dispersed into the water before it could get sucked up. 2 days later I go to check up on it and now it pretty...

I'm still wishing for the temps to drop. /living in florida is just AWFUL.

dman, I picked up taylors pool and spa trouble shooting kit, it had a 3 drop fc/cc test to it. it also had a large tube for other test so I just need to buy the replacements for the cya test.

I have a 1700 gallon pool and don't yet have a cya test for it. I've been swapping every other 2 days between using a small version (These are like half the size of a usual puck) trichlor tablets and plain old bleach. In each case I generaly loose between 1-2ppm a day, I was loosing more earlier...

foster, I'm not really digging the replaceable filters.. they seem to only hold out about a month and then they just leave the water cloudy, even after hosing it off. and yea its a 1700 gallon pool.

Actually it is probably because the item is showing up in their catalogs, but the inventory isn't in yet. This isn't even on intex's web site yet.

Ahh, the thing is, I don't think I would like to buy an intex pump. It clearly looks like alot of custome fittings above, what if one of the components break? in a real setup, the filter, the motor, and the basket are interchangeable. The intex above looks like like atleast the pump and basket...

jsf..thats great...but WHAT is it? models? price?

So I am having problems with vacuming my Intex pool. The one that comes with it is worthless as it is wasteful (everytime you vacume, you pump fresh water in) and it is weak. So knew I needed to fit a real vacuum system into this some how. It took me a few days to get together the parts needed...

no tanks, fl water supply. this is a large scale system of distributing water to the whole neighborhood for personal sprinkler system use. It does seem to add abit of water to it as I found tonight taking a dip into it.

My new intex pool gets a fair amount of spray from 3 of my sprinkler heads. Is this something I need to worry about? I've been looking at how to adjust them although I don't have the tool to do it yet. Saddly I've done a fair amount of searching and I only find warnings not to full your entire...

my bad. its 12x33. The odd number got me. I just know the volume from what it said on intex's web site.

yea... x.2 ;) Melt, the shock has cya in it, and I have probably put about 6-700mL of it in now. I took a water sample to the pool shop and they did their test (half which seemed to be the same old color test we do). Unfortunately the one test I wanted them to do, cya, they don't do unless...

Ok so I just purchased and setup the intex 12x36 metal frame pool several days ago, and I religiously memorized (ok..I copied it to my iphone to always have with me) the temporary/small pool maintenance post from this web board. My dad maintained the easy set we had last year and after a while...
