I was in Walmart this morning getting stocked up on baking soda, borax, stabilizer, and bleach when I saw "salt restore" or somthing like that. It claimed to rujuvinate salt and cut down on salt usage. I didn't read much on it since I figured it was a gimmick. Is there a use for such a product?

I'm having to use Jacks metal magic for copper removal. My question is where does the sequestered metals go? Do they stay in the filter until backwashed? Do they ever leave ?

I added cya acid again yesterday and there was still some coming out the returns in the pool. Maybe a handful out of each my best guess. After the first time I noticed this I took the filter apart to look at the sand. I seemed to be channeling around the pipe because all the other sand was...

I cleaned my sand last week and noticed the level of sand seemed low to me. About 60 to 65% full. Anybody know the proper level I should be running for the best filtration? Thanks

Hey guy's I added cya acid to my skimmer as directed....some of the granules came out of the returns to the pool. I double checked the valve and made sure it was on filter. My pool has been a little cloudy. What do I need to look at in the filter? The pool is 6 year old. Thanks

I tested twice to be sure with the TF-100 and both times less than twenty. Emptied the entire bottle of reagent mixture and the dot was just as clear as can be. Last time I checked it was 30....that was just a couple months ago. We have got alot of rain. It never crossed my mind to watch this...

Broke out the TF-100 yesterday for the first time. I had a blast testing my own water. First off I never "closed" my pool... I just quit doing anything to it other than circulate it as the water cooled down. I have clear water witha little debris on the bottom from dead bugs and such. There is a...
