    TA + pH question

    Just recently purchased a Circupool SWG and I am still in the process of tuning the %'s to dial in the daily FC levels. Below are the test results from last night after the pump/SWG finished for the day (running from 2-8 PM each day). I am walking the FC down slowly towards the recommended...

    Circupool SWG

    Recently purchased the Circupool RJ45+ and I am in the final stages of the installation. The control unit comes with a pre-wired cord with bare wires on the other end to be wired to my timer. Normally on outdoor electrical I would run it in liquidtight conduit and connect to the devices on both...

    Opening pool for first time, green water

    Opened the pool a week ago and have been running the pump on low since. pH was extremely high (at least 8.2) when opening the pool, balanced and brought FC up to normal levels. (Below are the test results from last night) I have been brushing the sides and bottom daily and have cleaned the...

    SWCG

    We bought our above ground pool last year from a local pool company and trusted them to do the installation. Everything I have learned on TFP over the past year has shown me just how little the pool company actually knows about their products. We purchased a SWCG this spring and as I went to...

    SWG for AGP

    Considering adding a SWG to help regulate FC and see that three brands (Hayward, Pentair, and CircuPool) are used by various members. I was initially looking at the CircuPool RJ60 Plus because of the current upgrade deals available online, but is it overkill for my pool? I am not currently...

    HELP...New Pool Chemical Balancing

    Put an old panty hose sock on my skimmer basket to reduce size of CYA particles that could pass through and added enough CYA according to PoolMath to bring the pool up to a CYA of 30 last night at 5 PM. As I was adding the CYA is would build up in the skimmer and I would wait about 20-30 minutes...

    HELP...New Pool Chemical Balancing

    There has been a few areas of brown/white buildup on the floor of the pool over the past 3-4 days, should I run the vacuum and backwash the filter before I start adding CYA?

    HELP...New Pool Chemical Balancing

    My TF-100 test kit came in the mail today and I ran my first tests. I'm still learning the tests, but will get better with time and input. On the chlorine tests, the water never changed color when any of the chemicals were added. TA is the test I question the most. I read the instructions that...

    HELP...New Pool Chemical Balancing

    I have been testing with the test strips that were provided on install and periodically at the pool store with their computerized water analysis system. The results I posted from Sunday are from the pool store. Yesterday, I ordered the TF-100 test kit and will start exclusively using that once...

    HELP...New Pool Chemical Balancing

    Just purchased and filled a new 30' AG pool. I have been following the advice of the pool company where it purchased to add the correct chemicals. I am tired of adding hundreds of dollars of chemicals only to go back to the pool store and have them advise hundreds more to counteract the...
