    New Construction Pressure Test

    Did something similar when we sold our house 13 years ago. The buyer wanted a new bath tub spout installed since the old one leaked. I installed it the morning of closing. I stopped the old house a week later to pick up something we left behind and the new owner told me his teenage son took a...

    PH Spike - Auto Cover to Blame?

    Thanks guys. The ORP readings on my Sense and Dispense seem unreliable... or at a minimum, don't correlate to my FC readings. I think I'm going to switch back to a schedule/percentage for my SWG.

    PH Spike - Auto Cover to Blame?

    Happy Independence Day!!! The water chemistry on our in-ground 14,500 gallon pool has been very stable this year. Twice this year, however, the PH has spiked from a normal reading (7.5-7.8) to around 8.1-8.2. This is our second season of pool ownership, so I'm still learning. I can only...

    Combined Chlorine Test Question - TF-100

    Hi, Brand new pool and spa owner here. I'm on Day-2 of balancing the water in my pool and spa (separate bodies of water... separate mechanicals). I just SLAMMED my spa to get a 1.5 CC level down to 0. During my fist test after adding the PoolMath recommended amount of chlorine I used the...

    Is your pool 850 gallons or 8,500 gallons? Your signature says 8,500.

    Thanks Maddie. How long have you been using this SWG? How often have you needed to clean it?

    New Pool - Almost Done with Construction - Mechanicals Just Turned On

    Yes, they are separate bodies of water with completely separate mechanicals with the exception of the Omnilogic controller. I should add that to my signature.

    New Pool - Almost Done with Construction - Mechanicals Just Turned On

    I think I figured out how to calculate 3ppm of FC using Pool Math. No need to know my current level. If I plug in, as an example, 0ppm current... and 3ppm as the target, Pool Math will calculate a recommendation for me. A couple more questions. Dichlor is the ‘chlorinating granuals’ the pool guy...

    New Pool - Almost Done with Construction - Mechanicals Just Turned On

    Thank you for the information. If I don’t have the test kit by Wednesday... how do I calculate 3ppm of FC without any test values? I guess I could get the water tested at the pool store. Oh, maybe I was unclear in my original post. Our pool has a SWG. The hot tub has a tablet chlorinator. My...
