Hey - i have a solar heater, and Experience the same. When i turn on the system in the morning when the Sun is up - a lot of Air bubbles burst out for 10-15 seconds. This is normal ?.. or should i do something ??

Remember, with the Pool lab 1.0 - you can mix your test sample with distilled water, to come around the 0-6ppm test range. Use 2ml of pool water and 8ml of distilled water - and multiply the result with 5. (or 5 & 5 and multiply with 2)

I have a poollab 1.0 and it works just fine. You are right, it can only test Chlorine from 0-6 ppm, but that is easily solved by taking just 2ml of poolwater and 8ml og distilled water - and then multiply the result with 5. I really like that you get PH, TA and CYA very precise, and also the FC...

Hey 😊 I know the CC is a bit high - though not critical. I have slammed, twice, since May - and the result is the same. Crystal clear water, but still small piles of algae on the floor Every morning. CC has always been above 1 but no chlorine smell. The sides on my pool are metal, and there are...

My assumption is also build on that the small piles are always at the same spots and if i chance the direktion of the Return Line (creating af different cirkulation) then the piles of dead algae comes in other places. So - it must be cirkulation “dead-spots” in my pool where they are allowed to...

Hi Chris 😊 Thanks for your elaborate answer ! I bought my House 6 months ago with the pool, and opened the pool here in May. So - im a new pool owner. Finally now - with the help of all in here i have crystal clear water - with very little Daily maintenance. Still - every morning after the pump...

So, i was wondering - and maybe my wonderings can be answered by all you smart people. This is how i understand the life-cycle of an algae in a well-balanced pool. With well-balanced i mean perfect balance in all parameters, FC - TC - CYA and PH. 1. An algae-spore is carried by the wind, and...

You were spot on. Now i bought the poollab 1.0 tester, and a test showed PH: 7,7 FC : 1,22 TC: 1,28 TA : 118 CYA : 6 So - my CYA is way too low, which is probably why my chlorine wanish Way too fast - and thus algae in the morning. i Will add some CYA (stabilizer) to protect the chlorine...

I Denmark we use this for chlorine and my test kit is a visual tester with only 2 measures. i have now ordered a poollab 1.0 digital tester to be able to test the balance more precise. Again this morning the pool bottom is covered with algae dunes.

You should do the bucket test, to determine if you have a leak. Leave the cover off for 48 hours while you do the test. It will tell you for sure if you have a leak. 1/2 inch in 2 weeks is not much - its basically 1 millimeter per day. Could easily be evaporation, event with a cover.

So i have a question. My pool is an outdoor pool with metal-sides and a rubber bottom. Over many weeks now i have maintained my pool every day. PH is 7,6 and Chlor is between 1,5 and 2. I use the phenol red and dpd1 tablets to Measure - and i measure every day and add chlor every day - to keep i...

Just a thought. My pool have a metal Walls, and i discovered the sinking waterlevel after we for several days have had a rise in temperaturer in DK from around 10 celcius to 15 celsius. I know it’s means some more Will vaporise - but could it also be because the pool expands a bit as it g’ets...

Hi again, I would say its Dark green in color, or dark gray. I have a pool test kit that measures PH level and chlorine level. I have been told to use chlor - a little bit every day to keep the algae away. i have one other chemical to use, if PH level becomes too High, and thats it. another...

Hi Duraleigh, Now i tried picking it up with a little container on a pole, and it is in fact not gritty at all. I just assumed it was sand, as it looked like that - sorry. Its like fine fine powder that disolves into a little cloud in the water when I try picking it up. So, then i should assume...

Hi Texas, Thanks for your answer. My thought was also that sand does not grow bad. I was just told that i should replace the sand every 2-3 years - why is that ?... if it does not go bad ?
