I use a feeder so I don't have to over dose to keep above the minimum because I'm aways adding chlorine throughout the day to keep it steady instead of highs and lows. The problem with the other method is you have to be careful not to allow anyone to swim when it's high, pool safety standards...

This is a new one for me, now when I finally get my numbers where I thought they needed to be to be balanced and now check to see how the overall water condition is, it's way off. I played around with the calculator it to find it's because of the water temperature. I had input 80 degrees a...

I took a sample to leslie to get another test result and their analysis of my water said I had 40 ppm CYA while my Taylor test (new regent) I can still see the black dot perfectly and 750 Phosphates and they blamed it on high Phosphates. I also started using Bioguard 60 algaecide (which I'm...

I am in Arizona just reaching 80's and had my pool drained, cleaned and filled looks great, BUT...... Initial chemical test was on the money cya 50, calcium 220, salt did not register, FC 3.7, TA 90 and PH 7.5 the only chemicals added was HASA liquid chlorine 12.5% (2 gals and CYA) but the...

As I understand it, liquid chlorine has a chemical reaction that raises the PH to 13 ppm which is suppose to adjust (lower) throughout the day to basically net zero. So if you have a liquid chlorine feeder with water combined in the tank does the PH neutralize while in the tank before being...

I wanted to find out what the experts here think about when you should run your pump for max benefits. I had been running mine at night to save electricity and I also thought the lower night temps would make it work less hard or over heat, but then I read it's best to run it during the day when...

I just tested all my chemicals in my pool water which is sanitized with liquid chlorine (no pucks or salt generator). Everything looked good, well Ph needed adjustment which is a regular thing since I add chlorine daily via a feeder. I tested for salt levels which was about 2250 ppm but I...

I use unstablized liquid chlorine which is added using the HASA liquidator feeder dispenser. A lot of the salt in the chlorine falls out of solution in the tank and never reaches the pool so that keeps that TDS down but I use dry acid because of health concerns to adjust my PH and I just...

I have just learned something I hadn't read about here regarding the problem with PH always rising and having to add acid. I realize the nature of using destabilized chlorine has an effect on PH levels. I was trying the method of lowing my TA to below recommended levels to stabilize my PH...

Hello, a bit about my mission. I have learned a lot about the chemistry of pools mainly plaster types. I had my Pool water cleaned via a Pool water Filtration service in May so my pool was never empty. The water was crystal clear and all my chemicals were right on. THEN before I became more...

I am frustrated trying to get my chlorine level right and PH. I have high CYA of 90 which requires 7-12 FC. I just converted to liquid chlorine and installed a manual feeder which relies on my pump to distribute. I should mention I live in Arizona and a friend of mine has told me he adds about...

I have a question related to the chlorine/cya topic as I understand the interaction between the two and in relationship to sanitation of pool water along with the other guys ph ta etc, but my question is when it comes to the physical exposure of chlorine concentrations in relationship to the...

I ran into this product that touts how much easier and safer to use than Muriatic Acid yet you get the same results 1:1 but I have not heard any mention of this as an alternative to Muriatic Acid other than a reduced strength one so you have to buy more or using the powdered acid which you have...

I'm wondering the same thing-I'm very interested in the cal-hypo pellets as an alternative to di-chlor and tri-chlor with its cya issues that complicate your pool water chemistry. My pool was a mess so I had it purified (RO by puripool) and now the water is crystal clear. My beginning reading...
