Thread now 16 years old and still proving its worth! I too found some, still sealed jug so clearly brand new (if many years old). Used the same test: Cautious open and small pour on discrete concrete - definite reaction 😊 Friend's pool's pH (found to have drifted high) now being corrected...

If my pool water is clean, is there a reason to not use the waste port to circulate pool water back into the pool? I am using/want to continue to use the 'black hose method' to help warm my pool (positioned with some shade for the wife - shade is growing 😔) Running the water like a very...

I hope this is not a duplicate question. I had a catastrophic failure of my (very old) doughboy 24 ft round agp, which had 18 legs, and the only other number of legs I am finding for that size is 16. I sourced a 24ft pool in 'classifieds' which came with 17 legs. I am trying to ascertain the...

I looked for another thread to explain this - sorry if I missed it. A new Lowe's pressure gauge for my sand filter registered maybe around 15 (? - unsure), but then I unscrewed it (why? I forget. Got hit by the 'water cannon'!). Screwed it back, now read zero. Got a new one, read about 8. Had...

Help? I've been looking forward to being about to solve a problem/irritation for some time.... For some time my 24ft round above ground pool with sand filter has blown a cloud of something that just looks, well, dirty, when I turn the pump on. (Say, after emptying the pump basket). Lasts...

Please guys, I sincerely don't want to get crosswise with anyone, and I value immeasurably the guys at TFTestKits, but I've seen 'Taylor R0013 for CYA testing' going at just under $15 for a full 16oz. There's other stuff I need and am ordering from you - but is this one the same as yours from...

We in Texas don't need reminding about February just gone. I realized that I have 1, maybe 2, perfectly good sand filter bodies, and while some of you have dealt with any problems by now, some of you may not? If a 16 or 18 inch filter body in Sulphur Springs, NE Texas, is of use to anybody...

I have tried to find answers to this but failed, so forgive me if I missed it. I know my pump is on the older side but couldn't give an age as such. I have read that 1hp should be plenty for a 24ft round agp. My pump does not seem to rotate/circulate the water around the pool wall much -...

Hi genii! I'm hoping for some genius help. Reading here for some time - FANTASTIC help through stories and answers. But I can't find one quite addressing this - apologies if there's one out there... Pool with sand filter here in NE Texas. Clear for ages (you and poolmath). Unbelievably...

Much as I hate this (and if you've seen my tale of woe in the random 'search' forum (?) you'll know why) - this is going to feel to me very terse. I hope for you you won't take it as rudeness? ["Re: Help!! Did I lose my whole extensive thread?! It was a LOO-oo-ong entry containing as much...

I had just finished typing up my full scenario and current situation and when I went to post it - it said I was not logged in - it had of course logged me out in the time I spent typing it! :brickwall: It repeatedly flashed up 'Auto-Saved' (just as it did then, 5 seconds ago). PLEASE tell me it...
