Peter, how do you put the liquid chlorine/bleach in to the pool?

Bonjour Peter! Do you have a regulator-pump for the chlorine? I'd be interested to know how much you used in the season too? And also, how are your Cya levels?

Ah, so the chalky line around the waterline when I first got the pool in June 2017 would have been calcium from the local hard water. This is what I used the anti-clacaire for, and it worked. Although I haven't used it for over a year and have not had the same chalky waterline. I do have a...

I looked before on the recommendation of TFP for the Taylor 2006 kit, today its 132€ on amazon.fr, very expensive, I think you guys can buy it for around 30 dollars. The Cya has always been high in this pool, I can only put it down to the Trichlore tablets and shock that are readily available...

I'm now very apologetic to admit I use the Mareva test strips and I do normally measure CC's, but annoyingly cannot remember the reading, but only that the FC was zero, non-existant. The link to the german spec. sheet is for granules, but I guess the liquid I used is similar. It will be...

I may of misunderstood the way this product works, but here it is....Calcinex Anti-calcaire 3L BAYROL Anti-tartre - Piscine Shop I imagined it would help combat higher calcium levels if it became a problem after using non-stabilised chlorine tablets, or shock.... Its possible to buy liquid...

Wow! Only the day before yesterday I sent the client an email suggesting that! I also sent an Inyopools article on the system too, seemed a reasonably neutral article outlining the pros and cons of the salt system. I would change myself if it wasn't for the upfront cost at the moment. And I...

Thank you!

Hi, here in the South West of France, I use a pool specialist to close down my clients pool for winter. Sometimes he choses to empty the pump, partially empty the sand filter, drop the water level and leave the ice protection things in the skimmers (widgets?). On other occasions he will just...

Hi, I used to receive an email notification letting me know if someone responded to one of my threads. I don't remember changing anything in settings, but I'm not receiving them now. Can I reinstate the email notifications, I cannot find where to do it?? Thanks

I'm not a pool guy as such, but I maintain a few under a Property Management company, mainly because I am at the property doing the gardens...The problem I often encounter here is high Cya readings. I'm using the Mareva test strips for Free chlorine, Total chlorine, Alkalinity, Ph, Total...

Hi, I returned from holiday (8 days) to a mildly green pool. I did the normal of shocking with Trichlore pastels, 5kg at 6pm. The following morning the algae was worse, and no Free chlorine reading, so I shocked again with 5kg Trichlore pastels, again by the evening the algae was worse and I...

Crikey, with those temperatures I'd leave it on all year! Here in the South West of France, the season is normally June through August, but you hope to extend the season each end with the heat pump. Incidentally, we have had the wettest winter here for 50 years!! - - - Updated - - - Well that...

Thank you Texas Splash, here we are hopefully!

Well we have just bought a new heat pump for our above ground wooden swimming pool and wondered how people managed the cover and programming of the temperature. At the moment we have the cover on all of the time, except when we want to use the pool. And the programme is set to 28 degrees...

We bought a wooden pool and the build went reasonably well, never looks the same or goes as 'swimmingly' as the videos!! So we filled the pool with water and then noticed the skimmer box had a leak, very annoying! The leak is between the joint of the water side box and the outer side box. I'd...

The test strips.....Free chlorine, Total chlorine, Alkalinity, PH, Calcium hardness and Cya. However, the two pools that are still cloudy are the following........Sand filter with filtration problem, very low pressure. And a DE filter with no DE in it! Maybe thats the problem.....??!! - - -...

Which product raises CYA? I'm in South West France and can't see anything available!

After shocking a green pool, it is always cloudy........what is the quickest way to get the clear water back? To date, I've just kept the filtration going 24/7 until it clears........

It's 80 here in Gascony today and the pool is only 60! I need to get these solar panels and heat pump sorted! Because we've had a week of lower than normal temperatures, the pool is struggling to get warm, my son is visiting with his girlfriend and it's really frustrating!

I've narrowed the heat pump down to a 10kw, reversable cycle. It's a Poolex Summerline 100 with a Toshiba compressor. I'd like to compliment it with solar panels and wondered if anybody else has any experience with good quality panels. I've read a lot of the panels are very poor quality and...

Thank you mknauss, I tried those websites but I don't think they sell the products, they seem to be manufacturers. There are no prices or links to resellers or agents.

I'm here in France and am finding it difficult to find a seller of the Taylor K2006 kit, but have found the Taylor K2005 kit, does anybody know the difference?? Thanks.

Where did you buy the K2006 test kit? It's showing on UK Amazon at £693.00!!

Re: Buying a Heat Pump with solar panels I would like to support a Heat Pump with a Solar heater/panels and have read about so much poor quality that I'd like to hear if anybody could recommend what the'ye bought, or not!

Re: Buying a Heat Pump with solar panels Well I think your pump is a bit higher powered, maybe 13kw to the 10kw pump in the link, about 34000btu's. But then your pool is around 3 times the volume of mine. I wonder if I could get away with a smaller Heat Pump....cheaper? Or will the more...

Oh, right! Well I had a nightmare when I took off the drain plug to remove the water from the filter..........as well as the water, all of the sand poured out with it, covering my whole pool hut and flooding the Polaris pump up to half way, what a mess! I couldn't get the plug back on to stop...

Hi I've been researching heat pumps here in France and would like some 'input'! Should I be concerned by the flow rate of the heat pump? Is it better for the water to flow through faster or slower, depends on power I suppose) I'm just thinking its probably not the top concern...... I've...

Hi I've changed the sand in my sand filter, everything running fine except.......the drain plug for the sand filter is now leaking. Its not leaking badly, but it is pooling in the pool hut, which is annoying. I've only tightened it by hand, and have since wrapped some teflon tape around the...
