Sorry I wasn't clear. Once you've slammed the water you have to return the FC level back down to normal levels. The UV rays will burn off the excess FC faster in the summer vs in the winter. Therefore, the time of year has to be considered especially when raising the FC to high levels...

Ajw22, I called Superior Pump and asked them what I needed to ensure we had everything. Yes, the discharge tube kit comes with two adapters and a hose clamp. Of which neither adapter is used to attach the 1 1/4" hose to the discharge tube on the pump. Yes, I could use a garden hose...

The pool guy added the 6 gallons of liquid chlorine plus added 4 tabs to the floater on 10/4/19 but nothing since then. I tested the FC on 10/13 and it was 100+. I just tested it today 10/30 and the FC level is 30+ again I stopped adding drops at 60 as the water still wasn't clear. When we...

A word to the wise. We bought a 1/3 HP Superior Utility Pump with a 1 1/4" discharge pipe and comes with an adapter to use a water hose. Be aware that it doesn't come with a 1 1/4" discharge hose or an adapter to connect the discharge hose to the pump. The 1 1/4" hose kit comes with 2...

Sorry for the delay. It turned a bright purple/pink color instantly. At 200 drops I stopped adding the drops (added 1 at a time while swirling). The pool company has been using chemicals since the 11th of October to reduce the chlorine levels. Our pool gets full sun until around 2 when one...

It's 15,000 gallons nothing fancy no waterfall feature or spa spillover or anything. Before ripping into the pool company I thought I should test the FC and had to use the over 5ppm test. To recap the pool company added 6 gallons of liquid chlorine on Friday the 4th. Then on Friday the 11th...

Here's a blog post by a company that says recycling pool water through an R/O filter will lower CYA. Is this not an option because our CYA is 200+ or is it not possible to remove CYA using reverse osmosis and it's really dilution causing the CYA to lower? The Puripool Process To Lower...

We use tablets right now. Since we need a drain and fill are liquid chlorine, dry acid, baking soda, borax, and CYA the only chemicals I need to have on hand? Given our harsh summer sun here in AZ should I only use tablets to maintain chlorine levels during the day and use the liquid in the...

I want to make sure I did the CYA test correctly. I filled the mixing bottle to the bottom of the label with pool water then added the R-0013 to the top of the label and mixed. With the sun at my back, I poured the mixture into the cylinder the black dot disappeared before it hit the line...

It's a plaster pool.

Our test kit should arrive today. We are planning to take over our pool once we get the kit. The pool company added 6 gallons of liquid chlorine to our pool last Friday. Today they added Thiotrine to neutralize some of the chlorine and did not add any chlorine tabs to the floater. I'm making...

The test kit will come in about 4 days. Once it gets here I post the results. Pump pictures.

Thank you. We are in the Phoenix area so our fill water is loaded with calcium. In fact, we have what looks like calcium or some kind of white rough scale we have to wipe off the pool tiles at the beginning of summer and from time to time the rest of the year. The pump says Hanning on it...

Is pouring 6 gallons of chlorine in 15,000 gallons excessive or corrosive to equipment? As I said previously last week the free chlorine levels were off the charts testing above 5ppm. So, yes the pool had adequate free chlorine before they added 6 gallons of chlorine. To answer the first...

We purchased a home in AZ not too long ago with a pool. We kept the pool service because the guy who was doing it was very good and they do fountains as well. But, they promoted our pool guy to a supervisor which is great he deserved it. So, now we get a different guy all the time and we have...
