I guess I shouldn't mess with trying to regulate my FC this way as the temp just jumped up to 85 two days ago and I've got family coming on the 11th and I don't want to be fighting a cloudy pool.

I thought someone would probably ask me that. No, just enough to bring my PH down to 7 each addition. I have four fountains each with 20 or so small streams of water. They have been doing a good job of bringing the PH up after each MA addition.

I think I'm going to try just using my Rainbow and the pail of two year old chlorine pucks instead of adding stabilizer until I get my stabilizer to 30 or I run out of tabs. Has anyone ever tried that? TA was 250 two days ago but I have added 3 gallons of muratic acid and been aerating so I'm...

Thanks all. I will just watch this high salt for now and re-test again every few weeks to a month going forward. If I keep getting these readings I will probably try longer and more often back flushes this season to see if I can get it down. I was not paying attention at the pool store to see...

I had a 0 reading on my CYA upon opening my pool and wanted to confirm with a pool store test to make sure that was correct in case my reagent was bad. My readings upon opening 4/26/11 and before adding any chemicals were: FC 6.5, CC 0, PH 7.4, TA 80, CH 250, CYA < 30 The pool guy that opened...

The liner is three years old and they have a motorized vinyl cover. The pool is covered when they are away, at night and during bad weather. Upon returning from the pool store today, my neighbor said the store told them they have pink slime mold (I think that is what they called it), not red...

So are you saying the algea behind the liner can be left alone if they don't mind the discoloration and get their CYA and chlorine in line? What problems would they be looking at if they went ahead with their plans to close their pool the way it is now? Also, I found no reference to a red algea...

My test results today: Alkalinity 350 Calcium 175 PH 7.4 TC 3.5 CC between .5 and 1 CYA 150 66 degrees Trichlor stick user (I told them about bleach/liquid chlorine today for the first time) They backwash 1-3 times a week 18000 gallon vinyl My neighbor is fighting red and black algea according...

Patrick, I agree with you about the less expensive poles. I bought one of these...the 5009 model: http://www.skimlite.com/5000.html I can't find my receipt, but I think I bought it from coolpooldeals.com online. In addition to the better pole material, the locking mechanism is a big plus...

I'll see what I can do...once it stops raining here in the Midwest.

We put in our 16x32 vinyl liner pool last August/September, so this is our first full season. I'm using a Taylor K-2006 kit. After fighting through my pool being cloudy most of the time the first three weeks it was open, it has now been clear for over a week. I brought my TA down from 200 to...

We just had our pool built last fall and used it for just two months. The builder opened it for us a week ago and shocked it. The FC is 14ppm and CC 0. My kids have been bugging me to go in even though it has been pretty cool here in Indianapolis. I have searched the internet and this forum but...
