    Using too much chlorine

    One more question. When I do the FAS-DPD test, I use the speed stir. After I add powder and water is red, I add the drops. It will turn clear for a few seconds then have a red tint to it. If I add one more drop is turns clear and stays. Which is the accurate one? I realize it is only .5...

    Using too much chlorine

    The kit says to test with FAS-DPD weekly, and the viewing block daily? Is that the way to go? Is the viewing block a good way to see how much chlorine to add everyday?

    Using too much chlorine

    The sight test tube in kit, wasn’t quite 50 so an educated guess.

    Using too much chlorine

    The quick test in blue case was at 1, so I added enough 7.55 to get to 6. When I tested an hour later with the more accurate test it was at 8. Do you think the quick test could be off that much, like it went bad? It makes me wonder if it was really at one or if it was actually 3 or more.

    Using too much chlorine

    I have the test kit that is recommended on here and do quick chlorine test every evening. Last night my test came back at 1, pool math recommends 6. So I added 172 oz of 7.55 bleach. Used more accurate test an hour later it as at 8, ok no big deal. This morning I checked the drop it was at 7.5...

    Opening new pool

    I tested my water to start slamming. Ph is above 8, used meratic acid, used pool math. It has been mixing for an hour. Still around 8. Is that long enough for it to mix in? Also the acid I have is two years old, does it lose its ability?

    Liner install

    Just wanted to give an update. Spoke with pool co. the day after the fiasco, was told the liner was correct, it needed to be warmer than it was, a new paper came out after I bought the pool stating this, that I was not sent. Pumped out most of the water, had to let it sit for a few weeks...

    Liner install

    i think so. The things is the box was sealed and marked with the correct size. The pool is a 30’ and we got it on so not knowing what is normal I thought it would stretch that much.

    Liner install

    I did. Had 13” of water pumped out to around 4”. Walls came back some not fully. Suppose to get strong winds tonight, fingers crossed. Wall ended up coming out of top rail. Walls aren’t creased so hopefully their fine.

    Liner install

    Added some more Yesterday. Clouded up and rain so shut if off. Suppose to be 65 and coudy. May try to add some more. Then it will be colder, would it be fine if I wait to add more water when it warms a bit with say 12” of water? Or should I add more than that to let it sit for a few days?

    Liner install

    I guess I’m pretty sure it is the correct liner there is nothing on box stating wall height. It was ordered as a kit with all other components of the pool. The item number on site I ordered it from comes back with 52”&54” liners. No shop vac was used. Sun is shining on it and it’s 62. Liner...

Liner seems very tight, liner isn’t touching wall either. Seems to be evenly pulling away fro wall all the way around. It was...

    Calimar Tahoe vs Lomart Verona

    Professor, did you end up going with the Tahoe? I am looking at another pool on ProPool site and curious how the the pool has been and if there is any regret with your purchase? Also how was the buying experience with ProPools?
