    High dry acid usage

    I will do. Thanks for the suggestion. How many hours do you suggest to run the pump a day? I need to set it to 2750 RPM for the automatic pool cleaner to work properly.

    High dry acid usage

    I do not have any automation which turns the valves :(, except control over the valve that diverts the flow of water to my solar up the roof.

    I have a Quartz surface. I do not have a Saltwater Chlorine generator.

    High dry acid usage

    Thanks Chris. I used dry acid because it is just easier to handle, that is the only reason.

    High dry acid usage

    Thanks for the suggestion. I can also have the valve set in a way in which the majority of water returns to the pool and just a little bit returns to the Spa, so when it falls to the pool, it does not mix a lot of air in, due to low pressure. I am just worried that way I start developing Algae...

    High dry acid usage

    My Spa falls to my pool. Spa is above the pool. Water is sucks by the pump from the pool, returns to the Spa, and falls back to the pool. You think this is the reason my PH raises often?

    High dry acid usage

    When I balance it to 7.4-7.6, in two days it reaches 7.8. In 4 days, it reaches 8.

    High dry acid usage

    I keep TA in 60-80 range. So, I am not sure why it is still raising. What do you mean by Aeration?

    It is an inground open pool. I am not sure I understand what you mean by type of pool.

    High dry acid usage

    Hi Pool experts :): I have a quartzite surface pool (25K gallon). I am keeping my Alkalinity between 60-80. The problem I have is that I feel like I am adding a lot of dry acid every month to the pool. I actually finish 50 lb of dry acid every month. I am not sure if this is too much, or this...

    Losing flow

    Thank you Richard and Marty. That was a great analysis. I actually keep the Chlorine level between 1-3 all the time, and Cyanuric acid is at 30. I see these spots, shock, and see it back after a few weeks. I read in TF0 just a few min ago that I need to raise Chlorine to 4-6? I thought it might...

    Losing flow

    Thanks mknauss for your comment. There is no algae in the pool. The water is all clear blue. There might be very little green spots once in a while. Are you saying those little green spots can clog the filter?

    Losing flow

    Good evening: When I open up the filter and clean it up, and rerun the pump I have a very nice flow of water sucking the water from the pool and push it to spa which falls back to the pool. However, usually after 2-3 weeks I see significant drop in flow of water. The filter pressure after...
