Jim Thanks for the info in such a timely manner Sid

I ask this because my son-in-law and daughter just purchase a home with pool. He has a little of plumbing experience. This is an older pool and older pump and older all over. (probably early 2000's) The 3 valves on it are all shot/leak/suction side air. He wants to raise the equipment and...

If the plumbing (pump, filter canister, valves, etc) of your pool is below the waterline of your pool or above the water line of your pool; Is there a difference of how a pool builder would plumb in the pipes/valves/pump in considering the level of your equipment to the waterline level of the...

Are there any other place a person can get discounts on pool supplies through TFP/INYO pools or maybe Taylor? Are there other companies that TFP advertises with????

Still clear water. Good ole bleach works wonders.

I have a concern on leaving my pool for 7 days. The evaporation of water in my pool here in Texas is significant at this time of year. (summer). The concern is the water level getting so low that the skimmers may start sucking air and force the pump to shut down. Would it be okay to turn...

Thanks Richard for your response. I try to keep my cya near the 30 and 40 range ppm. So from your response with my CYA level of 40 just mark off another concern of how my chlorine reacts to the water to a lower PH level. It seems my water likes 7.6 to 7.8 PH, so I'll stick with that and not...

I don't know where I read this. Maybe on the TFP site or another group. The statement that I viewed was that your chlorine that you put into your pool would do more for your water if the PH was at a lower PH level like 7.2 or so instead of 7.8. When I say more for your pool water I'm saying...

1 Stop Pool & SPA store in Plano has 12.5% Liquid chlorine. I think it's the Blue Whale brand name. Comes in 4 gallons cartons for 19.99 Don't know what part of Dallas you are in, but an option if your on the north side ..

Think the spoon is the one with a little cup in it.. About an 8th inch around.

Leebo, Yeah I have been letting the Ph drift up to near 8 and then give a dose of acid to get it back down to 7.6 or so. Thanks for your response. Going for the hot coco now.

Leebo Here are the test results you requested. CL - 5.0 PH - 7.6 TA - 80 CH - 250 CYA - 40 Water Temp - 44 F CSI = -0.48

Thanks Joyful, Guess from my military days that accuracy and timing was life and death. Guess I'm still trying to deal with not everything has to be so precise in the civilian world...Even with all that said "-0.60 to 0.60 is the suggested range, and the app tells me that I can be within...

So if I keep the Pool app CSI in the suggested range of -0.60 to 0.60 according to the Pool App" for an extended period of time I could develop "a potential to become corrosive to plaster, tile, stone, and pebble stone." I guess my suggestion would be maybe add a time frame to these CSI numbers...

I have question on the "Pool Math" app. The "pool math" app states that the SUGGESTED RANGE for "CSI" is between "-0.60 to 0.60" and then states at the bottom of the CSI that "Less than -0.3 suggests potential to become corrosive to plaster, tile, stone and pebble pools." My question is...

Just curious of what test kit you are using?

What can I do to have my freeze protection to come on at 32 degrees instead of 36 degrees. My hardware is listed in my bio. Thanks for any help

My pump usually comes on around 36 degrees as the freeze protection. How do I change the pump to come on at about 32 degrees instead of 36 degrees????

I'm pretty sure any item that is being shipped to Texas has experienced some heat at one point. Unless it's shipped in a refrigerated container.. unless is winter time!!!! U think maybe HEB stores their bleach in a more controlled environment to better serve us pool owners???

TX Splash I've bought alot of bleach from Kroger's and there brand is advertised as 8.5%. And I've just bought some from a local Pool store in Plano, TX as being 12.5% called "Blue Whale". The Kroger brand just seemed not to bring up the readings I should be getting from my additions of...

Been adding quite of liquid chlorine from a popular grocery store here in Texas... It claims to be 8.5% Sodium Hypoclorite. When I add the suggested amount to the pool according to my pool math app; the test from my K-2006 test kit shows about 2 or 3 PPM or so lower than what it should read...

Re: CYA testing shows nothing... Thanks Richard, So I should be getting an excellent reading on my CYA in the Texas heat. I was just concerned as my CYA seems to be reducing more quickly than I thought it should.

Think maybe this would be a proper place to ask another CYA question. I have seen on this forum and other forums that for a proper cya test the tested water should be between 70 to 75 Degrees F. If this is true does the pool tester need to cool down 90 degree F water to the 70 degree F before...

I use some of the tricks that others have mentioned. The way you are testing should get excellent test readings and probably get more exercise that way. Good Job

LightMaster, Just trying to check out the Pool Logger app on my phone at the App store... Maybe I typed it in wrong or something. Should it be in the App store??? Did not see it listed in the App store.

Tim, Think I got it now.. Just looked up what the "agument ad ignorantiam" Thanks Tim It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven that is false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that...

guess what I really need to hear is from folks that have used this equipment; think I've read alot that have not used it...Guess I'm a numbers guy. Just need some test results, instead of "no"or "yes" this doesn't or does work. Again, love You guys for all the info... Think My test numbers are...

Clear O3 and Ultra UV Sanitzer by Paramount effects of Chlorine Ok, New pool here and new to how things work from a pool I owned 30 years ago. See signature to what pool I have now. Todays numbers on test just completed 30 minutes (2 PM cdt) ago on 9 APR 2018 using a Taylor 2006 Non Swg...
