Good advice. Will do, thanks

Thank you for your reply. I guess I should have bought the 400k heater instead of the 250k. It is a new pool with all new equipment, so I think I will stay with the 250k heater for now. I will look into getting a bigger gas meter. I think here the gas company charges about $85 for the switch...

Questions on using Pentair master Temp 250k 460732 heater. First time today being in the pool. Water temp was 62 degrees at 8 am today, turned on the heater at that time. Got in the pool 8 hours later at 4 pm. Water temp was 75 degrees. Is the 8 hours to raise the water temp 13 degrees normal...

I will work on the stains as soon as the water warms up. I have a question on testing my water. My latest numbers are Ph 8.0 TA 60 CH 325 CYA 60 CSI -.20 Should I shoot for ? PH 8.0 TA 70 CH 400 CYA 60 CSI -.01 Also is there a way to change and keep the target on the Pool Math app the same...

Order has been placed. Thank you

I got the email and was ready to buy but I do not see the refill set that includes the salt test. I have the TF-pro salt kit and would like to order the same refill set with the sale price but I don't see it.

I think you are correct. What can I do to get rid of them?

The last two days I have noticed little specks of what looks like a brown rust color on the steps and the floor of the pool. Here are the things that have changed in the past week. We had a company install a canopy over the pool. We also turned on the heater for the first time ever and ran it...

Thank you.

First day of the SWG working. Pool was completed in December. I replaced the SWG with a dummy cell until the water finally was warm enough. I wanted to post a picture of it working with the lights. Is this how the lights should be when everything is working normal?

Looks like Walmart has liquid chlorine back in stock. This is the best price I have seen. Am I reading the dates correctly? 292 day of year 2023. 281 day of year 2023.

I finally did find the instructions for the salt test. We had a big dust storm come through here. The whole bottom of the pool was covered in dirt. Took me two days to clear it out. First day was with the Rebel auto side suction cleaner. The second day was with the manual vacuum. It looks back...

After using the tf-pro test kit for a couple of weeks now. The two bottles in the picture I have never used, and I do not see them on the instructions card. What are these for and how do I use them? Also it looks like the bottles for the chlorine and the Ph will be used up faster than the rest...

So now I see how changing the values of these chemicals affect my CSI. The closer the CSI stays near zero the better I am right? This number I need to keep a close eye on ?

Got it. Thank you.

I added 72 oz. Of chlorine. Now my FC is 5. The CH of my fill water is 175. I don't really understand about the adjusting in pool math without really doing it means. What numbers do I put in? My Ph went up to 8.2 again so I added 8 oz. Of MA. I have not added baking soda yet to bring my TA up.

Okay I am back to learn more. Latest tests done Tuesday afternoon. FC 0 I am not adding chlorine. I think the last time was one week ago. Should I be adding chlorine? The water temperature is 50 degrees. The SWG is removed since it does not run when the water is cold. Ph 8.2 I added 10 ounces...

I do use a pool thermometer. Calcium scaling sounds scary. I hope I never get it. When I return Wednesday I will be ready to learn. Thanks.

I never thought I was going to see the Ph in the 7's. But after the fourth time of testing and dosing it finally got down to 7.6. I tested the TA after, and it went down to 60 again. In kimkats I trust. Thank you. I will be away for a couple of days. When I return, I will run the tests again.

Thank you for everyone's replies. I am learning a lot. My Ph is still showing 8.2. I added 15 ounces of MA again. That is the third time I have added that amount in the last week. My TA went down to 60. Pool Math says to add 35 ounces of baking soda. Should I do that? I am having a hard time...

Did my second test. FC 0. Ph 8.2. TA 70. CH 450. CYA 40. I will add 58 oz. of liquid chlorine. 15 oz. of MA. 70 oz. of dry stabilizer. I have a question about the chlorine. Since the water is at 50 degrees. Should I even worry about adding chlorine? Or do I have to keep the FC level up to the...
