Woke up this morning to find the pool pump running dry. Found out that the pipe where the leaf basket is hosed in, has connectors that broke off and lid flew off. Sunny Arizona must have done its number in 20 years. Now I need to find out if I can replace this, and where I can find it. I...

Last week when I checked PH it showed almost 8.5 or even higher, pinkish color. Immediately, started adding MA, 28 oz first day. Tested again the next day and still high pinkish color, so added another 28oz. Third day PH showed the same and then I tested TA, which showed 120 for a semi salted...

I know that liquid chlorine has salt in it and for the past two years I have not used anything but chlorine. I havent been in the pool much this summer but when I went in last night, I realized the water is salty, instead of hard water taste. No idea if this is good or bad for a plaster pool...

Thanks to the guys here, my pool is looking clean and is algae free so far. When I am pouring chlorine every day, I was wondering how much I need to get the FC to? Per 50 CYA, Min FC is 4 and Target FC is between 6-8. Logic says, before putting more chlorine, the FC should be at least 4...

After joining TFP last year, I emptied pool in Dec, added CYA to 40ppm and checking the pool chemicals every 3 days. My 12K gal plaster pool consumes high chlorine (or at least that is what I am thinking). I am adding HASA liquid chlorine 1/2 a gallon every 3 days as the Chlorine is dropping to...

Emptied the pool a week ago and just tested after getting all the chemicals added in. FC - 4 CC - 0 (really???) TA - 40 PH - 7.4 CH - 180 CYA - 30 Are these numbers good? CYA is little low but seeing in AZ and right now temps are between 40 and 70, I can wait few weeks to get that a little...

I am in AZ and I am emptying my pool as I type. Last time I checked, cya is more than 500 or worse as the R0013 test hid the black dot very easily and before it got to 1/4 of the tube. A long way to go to 100 level and down. 11000 gallon pool and I am emptying 95% of the water. So I have some...

I am new to the pool and our pool has higher CYA and waiting to drain the pool come this winter. I was wondering how often do I need to test the pool, as I need to put liquid chlorine almost twice a week in Summer or more (PHX is always hot in summer).

My pool is 15 yrs old, with some caulking issues between coping and tiles, which I am going to address this evening. My cya is around 200+ and can't keep up with Chlorine anymore. I have Leslies powder plus, sodium hipochlorite and add that a ton to keep the green algae from forming. Live in...

Our pool is 16 years old and is looking awesome, but we are seeing some cracks between coping (is that even correct term) and tiles. Live in AZ, where the temp in summer is around 110+ for almost 30+ days and is hot. I see crickets nesting inside and I think I need to fix that gap/crack. I...
