It's been quite a year for rain. Over the past three+ months I've had to add around 12-14 40lbs bags of salt. The overflow keeps over flowing practically every day and there have been about 6 or 7 rains that have been so heavy that the water spills over the top of the pool. Anyone else in New...

Getting the pool ready for the year... we are @85F right now and water temp is 75F. I've never checked evaporation before... so here we go. I put the bucket is in the pool this morning @ 7am started pumps and filled the pool until the water just creep-ed into the bucket and filled it... water...

New salt system and still learning. I'm getting there... 23 weeks without brushing or shocking and I'm down to running the pump 3 hrs a day. Historically, I've run the pumps about 2 hrs a day from my birthday (today) until Valentine or St. Paddy's Day (I do not run the pumps at all if the pool...

So, I am 16 weeks into using a chlorine generator (converted after 14 yrs fresh water). I have a 24,000 gal pool FC - Keeping it in the 3 - 5 range Salt - I am using one (1) 40lbs bag every two (2) weeks. I live in New Orleans and we do get a lot of rain (I generally Back Wash once every two (2)...

New to chlorine generation... I run the pump 6 hours a day I run the chlorine generator 65% of the time 3000-3200ppm Salt... Free Chlorine stays in the 4-5ppm range 2700-2900ppm Salt... Free Chlorine drops dramatically 1-2ppm range... turning the generator up to 100% of the time will not bring...

I searched exhaustively... and apparently, I am to stupid to figure this out. Free Chlorine... 4.0 CYA... 50 CH... 260 pH... 7.4 TA... 40 I've been using 20 Mule Team Borax to raise TA... then, Muriatic...

So... I am 10 weeks into the new (to me) salt/chlorine generator system... and, all is good. I have not brushed or shocked the pool in 10 weeks. The water chemistry is *very* *very* stable... I've been testing 2 to 3 times per week. I run my pump (single speed) 5 hrs a day (2pm-7pm). This...

Moved from here. Set this system up (acid injection) a few weeks ago... works great, so far... I eliminated the drip line buttons (emitters) and placed the clear poly tubing through a ground rod clamp (pinch valve) for flow control. I added a longer bolt to the ground rod clamp so that the...

Newly re-plastered pool (plaster stripped to gunite) the pool was done about 10/12 weeks ago... then about 3 weeks ago ...Switched to Salt from FW. Over the past three (3) weeks I've done some fairly heavy back-washing to bring the Cyanuric Acid level down... which it has done. We have enough...

The Current Sand Filter is at least 15 years old (probably 20+) and is developing leaks around the neck... so, time for a new sand filter. Pool is 24,000 Gallon, Kidney Shaped (deep end 9' 6") Current Filtration: TA100D TAGELUS SWIMMING POOL FILTER SAND 30" TM W/2" VALVE...

In-ground, 24,000 gallon, Gunite. I just (tuesday the 25th) re-plastered... i.e., stripped old plaster (3 layers) to gunite. The Ph keeps creeping up... Thur, brought it from 8.2 to 7.4... Friday 8.0 to 7.4.. this morning 7.8. On Thursday the pool water testing place instructed me to put 2...

I just tested for CYA using the Taylor 2005 Kit. The readings on the cylinder (the, "tube") in the kit progressively higher down the tube... until the number 100 about midway down the tube. About 1/4" Under (below) the 100 mark on the tube are the letters "CYA". The black dot disappeared from...

Hello Everyone, I have enjoyed 11 years of Pool bliss. After spending the last few days researching this site I have no idea how I have survived. I have only used a cheap reagent test system consisting of only Chlorine & PH... I cannot tell you if I'm reading FC/Total Chlorine/PH/Total...
