    Two pool store samples, CYA way off

    I had an interesting thing happen. Last season I last left off with a CYA of about 40. We leave our pool uncovered and pump running at night in the Georgia winters. I needed some liquid chlorine so I decided to take a sample in for my opening. I took the results home and compared them to my...

    Total Alkalinity Level

    Last year we used pool math for our recommended levels with success. This year we have a new pool and the pool store gives us the chemicals and tests the water as part of the deal.

    Just ordered a new AGP to replace an Index Ultra 12x24

    Hello! I am new to the forum. Well after about 3.5 years of use, our Intex Ultra is on life support. We had it set up by a local pool installer as we were new to pools. We had an 8x12 deck built at the narrow end. The pool was first set up SWG but that was putting too much copper in the pool. We...
