I just bought a house last year that has a 20k gallon Fiberglas inground pool. The plumbing is flexible pvc not hard pvc. They had a leak at the skimmer and replaced the skimmer to pump section with hard pvc before I bought it. Now I was swimming yesterday and noticed a few spots on the bottom...

I wish my water was that cheap here. I got a quote from a water place here that I see their trucks all around they quoted me $0.05 a gallon... so $500 for my 10,000 gallons. But I’ll have to get other quotes! Thanks!

I have well water and don’t want to risk killing my well putting 10-15,000 gallons of water into my pool... if I knew for sure I had a good well I’d do it but the house is from the 50’s. I’ll talk to local pool places and see what they recommend. The fiberglass has some little cracks I’d like to...

Ok thanks for the info! If I drain my pool is it ok to have the fire department fill the pool with water from their tanker truck? Or is it better to spend the money to get a company fill it? I got a quote from a company local here that fills pools they want $0.05 a gallon for their clean water...

The pool calculator said my shock level was 34 so I maintained a 35 for 2 days before I stopped adding chlorine and let it drop off. So even at a chlorine level of 35 that isn’t high enough to SLAM at my cya level? It’s not worth trying to get rid of it as is just to drain and refill? Thanks a lot!

Thank you! Appreciate the help! Yes the cya was done with the dilute test! I want to wait to drain it because it needs some fiberglass repairs has some little cracks and chips around the edge and wanna make sure the whole pool doesn’t need to be redone before I fill it back up so if I can wait...

Will it hurt to leave my cya level up there and not drain till after this season? This is the first year I’m using the pool since I just bought the house in the fall. So would like to use it and not have to drain it and waste the swimming season... thanks guys

So I shouldn’t take my tft kit alkalinity number and subtract 1/3 if my cya from it? And those are my tft numbers. My tft kit shows 7.5 ph but I got the digital ph meter which shows it’s at 7.6 ph. And for my cya I do half distilled water half pool water then double the cya number which is why I...
