perfect thanks!

is it okay to use bleach in a pool with a colored plaster finish?

Okay sounds great! So I can basically do away with the shock bags and just start maintaining chlorine a little bit better? Apologize for multi threads - I guess I thought the topics were sortof different. The other thread is more about what the spots are and how to get rid of them and this...

Hi Maddie, Thank you for responding. I tested the water with my TFT-100 earlier today. To answer your other question, the shock bags that I use do have Calcium Hypochlorite in it. I usually do 1 bag per week and it is 68% calcium hypochlorite. If I should change how I'm shocking the pool...

Quick question about that - i have the ionizer/chlorine combination and I was told to keep chlorine at 1-3 PPM by the person that installed my pool. He's been wrong about a bunch of stuff so I don't really have great faith in what he tells me. Should I disregard what he said about 1-3 PPM...

My pool was installed about 8 months ago and it seems like every month or two I need to drain the pool because the calcium hardness level keeps slowly climbing. What are the possible reasons that the hardness keeps slowly rising? It's sortof annoying to have to drain out 1/3 of the water...

Okay guys - i just tested the water myself with the new TFT-100 Test Kit and Speed Stir that I purchased. Here is what I got: CH - 400 TA - 50-60 CYA - 100? I'm not sure if i did this right but i followed directions closely and i think I did it right FC 3.5 TC 3.5 PH 7.2 With these...

I have the speed stir in my shopping cart. Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback!

That refill kit thing sounds great as well. Thank you for the information!

looking to purchase a test kit today and wanted to see if anybody had any input on which I should purchase and why. Thanks!

The plaster color is called "French Gray"... the little white spots are what I'm concerned about. The plaster is about 9 months old. The pool finished construction in Dec 2016. It is possible that a pool store potion sat on the plaster without being dissolved but I usually read the directions...

Okay I have some readings that I got from Leslie Pool Supply tonight FC - 3 TC - 3 Calcium Hardness - 240 (I was getting a reading of 380 with Taylor Test kit) CYA - 40 TA - 100 (I was getting a reading of 60 with Taylor Test Kit) PH - 7.5 Copper - 0 PPM Iron - 0 PPM Total Dissolved Solids -...

Thank you! I'm not sure what my CSI is or how to measure it. I may need to go get my water tested at a pool store but for now I used a test strip in order to help answer some of your questions. I know that my CH is around 380 PPM and Alkalinity around 60 PPM (i took both measurements...

13,500 Gallon Inground Pool with Plaster Finish. DE Filter I need to check on make and model of my pump and filter. I fill the pool with city water which is usually around 0-10 PPM.

Hey guys - I'm new to the forum. I've done some reading and I wish I had known this sooner but it appears that ionizer systems (which is what I was sold) create issues in pools. Is this possibly leading to this speckling/discoloration? FC - 3 TC - 3 Calcium Hardness - 240 (I was getting a...
