I always suspected a small leak but a few weeks ago I started losing about an inch a day. That's crazy in humid Florida! Well I got the dye out and I watched it suck into the closest return to the pump. I figured I could tunnel to it, the concrete deck it only about 3 feet wide but what if...

Will a digital pH meter read accurately at high chlorine levels?

I looking to replace my ol WF-24 with one of these new fanged contraptions. Trouble is, I cant tell the difference between the 11017 vs 11018. Both qualify for Florida's Gulf Power rebate, both do not require a separate controller. Amazon has the 011017 for $1046and the 011018 for $898.

I go through about a gal of acid every two weeks. It will hit 8 and we drop it to 7.2. That lasts 3-5 days. Do you think if I just lower to 7.8 I will use less acid in the long run?

Black algae showed up last year... It depressed me. I scrubbed at it some and was sad. This spring I had had about 50 times the spots from the year before. Instead of sad, I got mad and thought I might try to actually do something about it. A little background. The Ph in my pool loves to...

In my reading here I understand some pools just use a lot of acid and at 19 months old my plaster may not be fully cured and adding to the problem. However I only used about half as much acid last year and the SWG was just added in May so I am thinking it is the major culprit to my high acid...

I find my LaMotte ColorQ to be very accurate at measuring pH. I am running out of reagent and all the sources on line want 10 buck to ship the 6 dollar bottle of reagent. Anyone have a better supplier?

My PB told me my pool was 26400 gal. After adding 640lb of salt and getting around 3500ppm I'm thinking my pool is more like about 22000 gal. The error could stem from the swimout, large bench and curve to the bottom. Based on that I added 17 boxes of 20 Mule team. Now I have my test strips...

My PB's store says to shut off the SWG when adding chems to the pool. I normally do not do this when adding MA, it is diluted in a bucket and spread around the pool. What are the detrimental effects of certain chemicals to the plates in the SWG? How important is it to shut the cell down?

It has been said here that it is harder to lower TA after Borates have been added. I lowered my TA to 70 then added the 20 Mule team/MA. It has been a couple weeks and my TA is now reading 100 on both the pool stores testing and my Taylor kit. We did have to add about 3 inches of fill water...

OK, The 17 boxes 20 Mule Team and 4.75 gallons of MA have been added. It is a blistering hot day and now the girls are asking if they can go swimming. I know the sticky says to wait 48 hours to test for borates but I tested PH and it is off scale high. I did a Taylor acid demand test and it...

I have seen how to calibrate a Aqua Logic but can you calibrate an Aqua Rite? There is nothing in the instructions about it

Hi All, I am planning on losing my off line cloronator and adding a SWG. All the reading I have done says to plumb the cell into your system last (after pump, filter, heater, etc). But what do I do with my O3 generator? I'm sure I don't want to pump that ozone over the cell but I've not even...
