I use a TF-100 kit. He has not been using the swg, so I think he is treating the numbers for manual dosing. I don't know where the CYA was when he started. could I be that he was using the puck to increase the cya, and now he'll control it? I know: :blah: :blah: :hammer: and I...

ok, I felt really guilty for neglecting my poor pool, so I tested the water: FC: 2.0 CC: 1.0 TA : 140 Ca : 340 CYA: 50 PH : 8.2 NaCl : 2740 after 3 months of using the poo guy, they seem pretty good. CYA under control. I was have problems with the acid also.

Boy, am I lousy at asking these questions. I do appreciate the responses though. My main question is the one posted about weather it's worth it to try an use the swg. right now i don't think it's even on. I expected Calcium build up because my water is extremely hard, but there was never a...

Hi, I have been frustrated by my AquaPure 1400. I've gone through 4 sensors in 2 years. I was trying to stay on it but even with proper salt levels it would stop working. at the time I was doing all the maintenance on my own. But when an issue with the Aqua pure came up (and I checked all...

@XsAllOverIt thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy. I would think needing to add acid every 3 day I was doing something wrong. I do like the sound and sight of the fountain running continuously, budget be Darn.

got the PH to 7.3, 2 days later it was > 8 again (fountain and 3 water jets on). going to have to stay on this.

First, My pH must have been much higher than I thought. I added 1/2 gal of 31.45% HCL and am at 7.8 today. I feel good I'm in a measurable range and will keep working it down. I measured the water from the hose bib- TA is 140. so the only way to lower the TA is adding acid?

thanks, I was wondering how to lower the TA. Although it brings up another question out of curiosity. I'm supposed to aerate to raise the ph without raising the TA, correct? I thought my original issue on why I couldn't raise the PH was because of all the aeration I was doing I had driven...

ah, an answer- The spa overflow only runs for a while at night, but I have a water wall fountain running 24/7. that may be my problem.

I can't seem to get my pH below 8. the pool is crystal clear, other chemistry seems to be fine: FC 5.0 today (2.5-5.0 over last 2 months), cc 0.5, PH 8.2 (>8 last 2 months), TA 130 (110-130), cya 45 (25-50). salt- 2775-3250 I've added over 4 gallons of 14.5% liquid HCL. at first more slowly...

pool guy says it's because the salt is too high- reading 4100. That doesn't seem so high it would shut the system down, or does it?

I keep having problems with Jandy Aquapure. The service light goes on, with no other numbers in the screen. the system stops working. This happens intermittanly, so when the PB comes out to investigate, it is never on. about 3 weeks ago, they replaced the sensor, boosted it at 100% for a few...

As I look at my water wall feature and see the calcium build up i wonder is there a in-line calcium filter that would work? I think they have those filters for filling the pool, does anyone know of something that might work? thanks

but if my salt level is stable, shouldn't that rule out water loss?

TF kit

I can't seem to maintain my stabilizer. I finally got most of the other chemistry in line, but have been running with a high pH. I know the hot Az sun is part of the reason, but going from 80 to 20 or below, adding > a galon of liquid stabilizer, then repeating the process the next week...

most are flying bugs, besides my two puppies would probably think they were in "Scarface" and have a snortfest!

good though on the lights, there are some, but not excessive. the ones around the pool are small. there are much brighter ones under the patio, by the house. the ones in the pool are colored (and cycle through unfortunately). the spa has a white light, but there are not more in there.

bugs check in but they don't check out.... for some reason my pool is collecting a huge number of bugs- all types- moths, bees, flys, beetles, even scorpions. I live in scottsdale (Grayhawk), and where I grew up (about 10 miles away) I never had this problem. I was talking to a friend who...

These numbers are all from Leslie's. the temp was probably 78 before and 84 ish now.

I Finally got my TF-100 test kit a few days ago. I did the tests today, then brought some water to Leslie's to compare with their test. They were way off! I got : PH 7.8 and Chorine of 1-2 on the quick OT test. on the more accurate DPD I got FC 2; CC 0.5, TA 110, CH 560; CYA never worked-...

I was going to post a similar question- My CYA was 60 on May 11, it is 20 today. I live in az, but it has not been too hot yet, very little apreciable rain, and not much splashing water out of the pool, yet. I do have an automatic leveler, so there could be a leak (pool < 1 year old). I...

boy, the cart was much easier to read with the spaces.

I've ordered the TF-100 kit. until it arrives all I have are test strips. it registers no FC. I'm not sure it helps but I've been having the water tested at Leslie's. here is a compilation of results: Pool is 16,000 gal, swcg I live in scottsdale az 5/3 added CYA,CL, Acid...

pools perfectly clear. there has been no warning lights I've seen, but there is one now. "service"

thanks, I returned the kit today. they said I should have different things in it. Not I need to buy one of the ones TFtestkits. i also think my salt cell in not working at all. I'm so bummed. pool is fairly new. My Chorine was zero, as was my CYA, and ph was high. I finally got the FC and...

My chemistry has been all over the place, and after repeated trips to Leslie's for testing I bought their Complete poolcare DPD test kit. The issue is the instructions and the equipment do not match. I.E.: Chlorine: It says to fill tube to 9 ml mark, then add 5 drops of R-0001 & R-0002, cap...

I have 8 PAL-treo lights. unfortunately, they automatically rotate through colors unless I stop them on the one I want. one of them has been a half color off, and flickering. they are only 8 months old. I"m lost at what to do. thanks

:P no, not dog paddleing, we're teaching them to do the backstroke! :lol: actually the pool is an unusual shape- it has a slallow deck area, then a long swimming lane dumping into a rectangular pool. the only step entry/exit points are on the far end of the rectangle or the shallow deck...

My wife is insisting on training the dogs to swim, with safety as the advertised reason, although she has visions of a mermaid with her seadogs. :queen: :nemo: :fish: She countered my bad for the filter argument with the trainers suggestion of a nylon filter saver to catch the hair at the...
