Thank you!for all the advice pool is crystal clear and all my results are headed in the right direction.

We just had a new liner placed and the pool will be done being filled by our local fire department this evening. My question is how do I proceed with testing the water and in which order should I add. I use TFP test kit and app, but just not sure on the most advantageous way to proceed In these...

I just had a new batch delivered!! I am sLAMing away 🤣

I have the app and with the numbers I put in yesterday it suggested that I add the Muratic acid and with today’s numbers it suggested soda ash. I will Just test tomorrow and see. Unfortunately no water features and not real sure I could convince any kids to get in, as it’s a green lagoon right...

Can someone advise me if I need to worry about the PH during opening. This is what I’ve done so far. I just opened yesterday. I Did chlorine, Muratic acid and stabilizer. Today I did only the suggested amount of chlorine, but it also says to add soda ash. I plan to continue on with the SLAM...

I have the opportunity to buy this filter and valve for $300. It was excavated from a pool tear out and used as part of the pay. It is fairly new, and was removed because pool was removed. They did however move it with the sand inside and as you can see it's laying on it's side. WOuld you...

Sorry I fixed it. we are looking for a sand filter.

I am looking at either the Hayward 24in S244T or the side mount S310S. Currently we are set up with a side mount, but room isn't a concern if we went top mount. We are having all new plumbing done so we can add the unions for easier deep cleaning of sand. The cost is nearly double, but would...

So, now that I know I can get parts. Should i just take it apart and start replacing things. Or would it be smarter to just get a new filter. Besides it slightly leaking it seems to keep the pool nice and clean. Thanks

We have been battling a skimmer leak since last year. With no help from the pool company,they are too busy. So I have done everything people have suggested on here with dye tests and it appears the leak is in the underground pipe. Pool had previously been neglected by prior owners, and I...

Just had the plumber out and he is going to redo all the pool plumbing in our garage. It's long overdue. He said our pump looks good but he would suggest a new sand filter while he has everything apart. and says it seems to be leaking slightly around the cirumference and I assume parts are no...

UPDATE: Not sure if I should post here or not. But I replaced the pressure gauge with no problems. Pressure now reads consistently between 10 and 15 then I backwash. Still no word from the pool company, so we called a plumber he said that he would change all the plumbing in the garage for...

I will check that out. Thanks.

Sorry I removed the faceplate looking for leaks And all is good there. And yes when I dump water into the skimmer I have no plug. I do have the skimmer valve closed. Should I also plug the skimmer while not in use, I have just had the valve closed and the dry skimmer., does this introduce air...

Sorry. I removed the faceplate and gasket checking for leaks. Just didn’t put it back on before I took picture.

Good morning all. I have the chemicals all figured out and water is clear. thanks to the TFP testing kit and app, which is a God send. So long story long. Last year we noticed we were losing water. We determined that our skimmer was the culprit. Did the dye test and it doesn’t appear to be...

Sounds good all I will focus on is FC. Baby steps. Hahaha. I appreciate your kindness and willingness to help. I’m sure you’ll be hearing a lot more from me. Thanks again.

This is what I’ve done since opening. Im Not sure if I keep slaming. Now TA is high. What am I doing wrong. I’ve done the additions as recommended the las 2 days. I haven’t done anything today. Thanks. I use the TF test kit and pool math app and try to do everything it recommends.
