Thanks everyone. I only really went to them for testing so I could see if I needed to add salt (and how much, because I'm out of salt testing supplies) because I already knew my other levels from my own test kit. I do need to raise both pH and TA, but I only have baking soda, not washing soda at...

With temps in the mid 80's this week we decided to open the pool early this year so we took the cover off last night and hooked everything up. I tested the water and found my TC was still high from closing, PH was low, ALK was a little low and CYA was good. I took a sample to the pool store to...

Yes, the pole kit is the same 3" tubing that we already have. Thanks for confirming this will work, it should make things so much easier this summer.

I have a 30' round AG and I am looking to add some poles from a reel tube kit to lengthen a 21' reel someone gave me so I can accommodate a 30' solar cover. Has anyone ever tried this? At first I thought that the more tubes and connections points I had would mean less stability, but after...

While shopping for a solar cover for our 30' round pool I found a brand new 20x40 rectangular solar cover on Facebook Marketplace that someone was giving away for free! (They were sent the wrong size and rather than the company paying the return shipping, they told them to keep it and sent them...

My pool was installed in the middle of July and I added everything pool math told me upon initial fill. All of my levels have remained in just about perfect levels ever since then EXCEPT my CYA has ALWAYS been super low (20.) I know everything needs to be in balance before I close the pool for...

I've searched and searched but I can't find the answer to visualize how to plug the return line if I'm using a skimmer cover and not draining any water from my pool when I'm closing it. I understand they make plugs for the line, but how would I get the eye out and the plug in when it's underwater?

Just finished filling our 22,500k pool about 10 days ago and added my initial doses of stuff to get all my levels up. All my numbers are looking good EXCEPT CYA. The store who sold me my pool recommended 7 lbs of stabilizer to get started and pool math recommended 9 lbs in order to get to 50. I...

I have my kit now. Ther levels I just posted were from the kit today.

I'm hoping someone can help me with a few questions. We just finished filling our brand new pool (22k AG SWG) 6 days ago and at the time my TF100 test kit hadn't arrived yet so I let the pool store test my chemicals. (I know, I know, but I had to start somewhere.) Anyway, of course my levels...

Sorry, I just got my pool and had to look up all my info to include in my signature. These are the steps I have. After looking at them again I realized even without the suction cups they still have the little legs where they plug in, so even if I took them off the base still wouldn't sit flat...

I searched the forum and found tons of info on the wedding cake steps, but one thing I didn't see was regarding the suction cups at the bottom. I wanted to get a step pad to go under the steps to protect the liner, but all the pictures I see have the steps sitting directly on the pad without the...

I'm sorry, I'm so new to this and I don't have a clue where to start to know know how much 3 ppm worth will be! I read through the post you linked and will definitely utilize this link often, but I thought I'd start with 2 gallons of liquid chlorine. I found the 10% for just a little more than...

We just finished filling our 22k gallon 30' round above ground saltwater pool last night and turned on the pump and SWG last night. I went to the pool store for pool school. They wanted us to buy all kinds of chemicals to get started, of course, but I knew I didn't have to use all that so I...

We are looking at liner pads to put under our new 30' round pool to be installed next month. I'm kind of leaning towards the Rhino pad, but have seen pros and cons of it along with the Armor Shield, Gorilla, Liner Life, etc. Anyone have any experience with the Rhino pad? It says to lay this down...

Ah, I got it now, thanks!

Splashpad I'm not sure your comment was meant for my post, lol.

Here's the details on it if that helps.

The pool I have on order is only one of two that my local pool company sells that specifically says can be used with a saltwater system. It has a 2" all resin track so I trust that part, but the top seat is technically steel although it's undercoated with copper-guard and coated with plastisol...

We just reserved our pool which will be here at the end of the month. It's a 30' round and we had the option of the FROG mineral system or SWG. Our salesman said they highly discouraged the SWG even though our steel wall pool says it's rated for it, just because the salt will EVENTUALLY corrode...

Any chance you could post pictures of where the seal broke and what it looks like after you seal it back? Or even better, step by step pictures that shows the size you break them into and how you reseal without getting too much stuff on outside so the canister still fits back in correctly? Also...
