Thank you. Much appreciated.

Okay, thanks. And one final question. Does the patch need to be circular?

Thanks a lot. I have piece of the vinyl. So I just need the glue. I assume I should patch both the inside and outside?

Thanks very much.

Dear Gents Thanks for all your advice from my previous thread. Fantastic info. We have just completed our first summer. Following your advice, and basically using just bleach, we kept our pool clean and clear for the whole summer. This was despite the best efforts of the supply companies to...

Okay, thanks again. Will try that. Cheers!

Hi MKnauss Pool is going well. Just had a quick question. As mentioned previously, I only have the basic test kit that measures pH and chlorine levels. With the last test, the pH level had dropped to around 7.0. The chlorine level still seems fine. I have just started with my third trichlor...

Okay, I see. Thanks. Pool is going great, and the kids love it!

Oh, my mistake. Thought that was yours. Just took the Pool Math premium subscription. Thanks a lot for your help. It has been invaluable. Really appreciate all the prompt replies. Just one last question. The Pool Math FC target says 1.0-4.0 (see below). Is this too low as you mentioned...

And one final question if I l may? The local pool shop said the chlorine level should be between 1 and 3ppm but your pool calcuator says 5ppm. Which one should I aim for? Thanks.

Okay!! Thanks a lot. Finally, after many weeks of hard work and sweat. 46 degrees C here at the moment!! I will follow the process you recommended previously by first using four Trichlor tablets continuously to get the CYA levels up to around 40 ppm, and then one every six months. After...

Okay, I will try your suggestion for the chlorine level. The pH colour above was after I let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. The colour seemed to have stabilised at that colour. All I have added so far is one 3 inch trichlor tablet and it has been in there for about 20 hours.

Can I use this chart as my guide for chlorine and pH levels? Thanks.

I have now filled the pool and done a pH and chlorine test, and taking a subscription for the pool calculator. Here are the test results. Am I right in interpreting these results correctly-chlorine level being 3 and pH being 8.2? The test kit scale only goes up to 3.0 and the ideal levels on...

Hi Mknauss After some trial and error, I built a base in my carport for the pool in order to level out the slope. I have now set the pool up. Please see the pics below.

Thanks a lot, MKnauss. 28000! Yeah, the % will make life interesting. Thanks again.

Hi. If you wouldn't mind also, I managed to track down these two bleaches. The first one below has surfactants as an added ingredient. Am I right in thinking that the surfactants make this bleach no good for use in the pool? The second one has caustic soda as an extra ingredient. It also...
