Exactly what I wanted to hear...thank

So I’m told the MA bath takes some life from the titanium plates and is unnecessary if no scaling is obvious in the cell..the system averaged about 30% all season and I can see no cell scaling at all...so no bath, short bath or the full monte??? Secondly, do we remove the flow switch from the...

I’m running 35% for 8 hours....water is crystal..was just concerned about abrupt chlorine jump and solar cover will put temp at 90’ or more so that will stay off a few days

So here’s the numbers FC...9.5 CC...05 TC...9.5 PH...7.6 CYA..60 TA...180 Bor...35 Sal...swg avg..3200 K 1766....3800 Temp..87’ I’ve dropped the SWG output from 50% to 40 to 35 over last 2 weeks and yet the chlorine levels have steadily risen over the last 2 weeks and now the TA levels...

Is there a Li battery pack available for the older PBM??

Thank you Richard

Hey kids, so it’s been about a week with the new SWG and new liner..everything pretty much in order except for the CH...so how important is a CH level in a vinyl liner pool??? FC3.0 CC .5 TC3.5 PH 7.5 TA 90 CYA 60 Sal 3490 at SWG".......3800 w/k1766 **CH 80 **

I kinda inherited 3 bottles of the stuff from a neighbor and she had no clue what it was used for...was there when she bought the house...maybe I can pass it on

Hi kids, can anyone tell me what exactly is proteam daily treat..and what it is used for....description says it works in conjunction with proteam supreme and clarifies/enhances/protects/etc but what is it...no chemical description on the package....and is it useful at all in a salt water...

Hi kids, just installed new liner and new SWG...discussion at the local pool store while buying DE about using CYA..pool store says NOT to use stabilizer when using SWG...this goes against everything I’ve learned here ..no problems with chlorine usage over last 10 years ..seems to me I’d need...

Got it.thanks

So I’m adding liquid bleach to get the chlorine level up..making sure the salt level is up and all other chemistry is right THEN turn on the SWG????

Do I not turn on the SWG till I have a decent salt reading or install a bypass pipe instead...approx 3000ppm?? Initial salt added at 30lbs per 1000 gal?? Thanks tex

Hey kids, New liner( new water) and new SWG next month..I’ve been using the tf100 kit for years and am going to add the k1766 kit for salinity....do I continue all testing as usual, just adding the salt test to the process...and is there anything else needed for testing?? Got some salt dip...

Ok, going cheap on the solar cover...no sense spending more $ for the same 2 year lifespan....plus the lighter weight will make it easier to handle...thanx all

That’s exactly what I’m gonna do....thank you

Hi kids, does anyone have a solar cover dealer/brand/ manufacturer that will last more than 2 years???...8-14 mil....can’t do heavier because of the weight..my solar covers are in pieces after 2 years...have had several weights and brands still no luck Chemistry meticulously maintained so...

i have a tight mesh winter cover so i'm almost positive there's no heavy debris in pool. i'm expecting to find a layer of mud and silt, but i can't see bottom so i'm not 100% sure. had the scoop net on a pool pole and could not find any solids. off to get some salt dipsticks..what levels am i...

thx for the advice...how do i test for salt levels in pool water ? and if the salt level is acceptable, is there anything i can do now. i've dropped the level about 6". don't want to go too low just yet because the ground is still saturated around it.

hi guys, got a relatively minor problem here, but i'm kinda just looking foward a bit. hurricane sandy had 2 feet of new jersey's barnegat bay water over my pool, leaving it the same dark brown color of brackish baywater. should i : float some chlorine tablets now, see if it settles in the...

:party: i decided to check the pool level after quite a bit of rain, and since i had a corner open, i had to see if i had the usual opening swamp after a relatively warm winter here in the northeast. after last summer's switch to chlorine i was kinda hoping for a somewhat clear pool and i just...

i'm really sorry to see this pool season come to an end. truly trouble free, just needed a few weeks to adjust to the chemical demands. now on to closing. i've read the posts and closing looks fairly straight foward and simple. just wondering what your thoughts were pertaining to ProTeam Supreme...

thanx for the info,guys. looks like i'm going back to basics here and starting with o/nite FC loss test. once i get things stable, i'll be back to pick your brains. gotta be something in there eating all this chlorine. filter was dumped, cleaned, and soaked in bleach solution, as was all the...

ok, i now know i need to keep my FC at 10/15% of CYA level. thanx a ton for that easy formula. can you advise me on the operation, efficiency, cost comparisons, etc. between SWG, liquidator, and injection systems. can't seem to get a lot of objective info for these systems.

well, maybe not diamonds, but the pool has that sparkle and shimmer that i haven't seen in quite a while since the baq to chlorine conversion. BUT, it's becoming a pain having to add a gal of bleach morning and nite to keep the chlorine levels at 4-5 ppm. alternatives??? tri chlor and watch the...

you guys and girls have supported me for the last couple of weeks thru a difficult (for me, obviously not for you)baq conversion. not one question unanswered, and many problems solved. please accept my TPF Supporter donation as my way of saying thanks for all, much appreciated. CaptJoe

liquid bleach...into pool or skimmer?? or either one?? thanx again for all the help.

quick question...i've been adding the liquid chlorine ( both 12% and/or 6% thru the skimmer with filter running. any problem with that, or should the bleach be added directly into the pool?? and is a 1 to 2 FC ppm loss during a sunny day unusual?? i'm trying to keep the levels at 4-5 ppm with...

weather has been very sunny and hot (hi 80's) last few days. will get some readings from pool supply and see if they are in line with the numbers i'm getting. pool is crystal clear. not adding anything tonite and giving the pump a nite off. will check chemistry (CYA) tomorrow a.m. and then...

solar cover was washed ( soft scrubbed with chlorine solution ) last fall before being stored, in anticipation of spring conversion to chlorine.
