Thanks. The 2 drops was the only combo that gave me a similar color to the vial, so I assume that is the magic number.

Got my test kit a few years back from TFTestkits. Ordered some refills this year, but forgot the PH solution. Stopped at Leslie's today to get a refill bottle. Went to test tonight and 5 drops set it to a deep red. Then re-read the directions to make sure it was 5 drops and noticed my kit...

Re: Solar cover weight and typ Thanks. I think I may look into the 12 mil then and follow up with the supplier on why they show the longevity of the diamond as lower than the bubble. Definitely need something as whenever I tried using my heat pump last year it would lose any gains I might...

Re: Solar cover weight and typ Thanks for the info. It is weird as when I do a comparison on the site for my size 20x40 it doesn't give as many stars for longevity for the diamond shape as it does for the bubble. Wonder if it is a typo. I was thinking of splitting it in half for my pool, do...

I'm in need of a solar cover and found a place on-line with good prices. Question is they have 16 mil for $10 cheaper than the 12 mil for standard bubble. For about $40 more they have the diamond bubble. I'm looking at the clear, but can anyone shed some light on the weight and diamond vs...

Did an acid wash of the Intellichlor couple nights ago, after starting it back up it showed green, meaning good salt level, but the next day it was back to orange. There was no bubbling during the acid wash which meant it was pretty clean to begin with. Got test results done at the pool store...

Okay, got a new bottle and still get a reading of 5.8, but this bottle shows that at 3690 and Intellichlor still reading "check levels". Still at a loss, please help.

Thanks. So I guess my safest bet would be to add a little at a time like I did, just in case something isn't reading right. Do I need to run it for 24hrs every time I add salt?

I drained about 1/3 of the pool out on Friday due to Calcium Hardness, so after filling I decided to check salt level for the first time since installed at the end of April this year. I got a reading of 5.8 or 3730. I also decided to bring a water sample to the pool store to get readings from...

Added 28ozs of muriatic acid again last night which should have brought it to 7.2, but it at 7.5 again this evening. After pool shut off, still a bunch of flakes around. The bag of the Polaris was loaded with the flakes and some of the aggregate of the pool. Should I be concerned about the...

Okay found my last step loaded with white flakes yesterday with some more on the floor after the pump shut down last night. My pool is approx 12,200 gal. grey plaster pool with a SWCG that we finished at the end of April of this year. Called the builder and he said the CH is probably high and...

I have a grey finish that is by Florida Stucco and is in their Gem line and is called Silver Blend. My pool builder had it in his pool and an electrician I work with had the French Silver in his (doesn't have the blue and green flakes). It has 3M colorquartz aggregate. We love the color of...

I purchased Aqua Chem Chlorinating Granules Plus that says it has 71.8% Trichloro. Test results are above, I think only thing missing is a salt test. I'm trying to bring my PH down. Put in 29 ozs of 31.45% muriatic acid last night and 32 ozs night before and still running high. Just filled...

Since I have already purchased a 20lb container (couldn't find anything smaller except the 5lbs of 1lb bags), what would you recommend. I'd rather not waste the $60 or so it cost. My tests tonight had the following: T/A=100 FC=7.5 CC=0 TC=7.5 PH=7.8 CYA=>20 (dot never went away and this would...

First time pool owner and still trying to learn the ropes. I have a 12,200 gal colored plaster pool with a SWCG and a Starite System 3 Mod Media filter. My question is, when I get low chlorine readings and plug it into the Pool Calculator, I get no amount by volume. As I picked up some...

Craig, Thanks, that was it. I see the link now to more under the chemistry tab.

Yesterday I found a post that someone referred to picture tips on a Taylor test kit that was help for someone reading a TF-100 kit. Like an idiot I didn't bookmark it. Anyone know what I'm referring too? Hope this in the right spot.

Thanks. I'll be meeting with the builder Friday and I'll ask about the feel. He just did his and went with the same product but went with the French Silver (darker gray). Okay then, anyone have some pics of a white finish with green aggregate? Thanks.

Pool builder I'm using uses the above product and I'm wondering if anyone has this in their pool? Here is the link http://www.floridastucco.com/samples.php He showed me the Gem finishes and we are thinking either Aqua Clear or Aqua Gem. Any pictures would be great. He said he did a refinish...
