I'm looking for ideas or people who have added slides, waterfalls, jumping rocks to existing pools. I'm trying to avoid cutting into the existing pool, so would like a slide/rock etc that can hang over the edge. I have an idea to build a wooden platform similar to disney's for wilderness water...

Added bleach last night to pool to try to kill some algae on tanning ledge. Tested pool and have an fc of 14.5, cc 2.5, cya coming up 0... So I need to increase that. My question is... Is t safe to swim with the fc of 14.5?

That looks awesome...that was added after the initial build correct? I would like to add a waterfall/slide or some combo. How much work/expense was the additional plumbing?

No the pool smells fine, when I was younger we had a hot tub and had scents you could add. I've seen a number of pool and spa scents and was just curious. Sorry links removed didn't know I couldn't link

I wasn't sure where to post this, has anyone added any of the pool/spa scents to their pool? Do they cause any damage or any reason not to add them?

That may be the answer. How do you typically add acid? I was shown to walk it along edge and in front of returns... No real solution if that's the problem except acid wash then?? Its just cosmetic if that is the issue correct?

I did not notice the discoloration until 2 weeks ago. That is why I was totally lost. I am hoping to get in the water in the next week or two and check it out up close. It's just too darn cold....You think the Ph would cause it....my Ph is normally 7.8 or so, but I added muriatic to get it down...

Plaster was done Dec 2011, it is pebble, that was my original thought, that it could be salt or something, but it is in areas that I never would have poured. No powdered chemicals added, only salt. Since I have noticed the spots and my CH was low I have added to raise CH, but other than that...

The light spot is to the left of the vacuum

They are not small spots... They are large 4-5 foot areas that just look cleaner/lighter than the rest of the pool. But I scrub around them and nothing changes. I'm hoping the water warms up soon so I can jump in with a mask I and get a closer look. It makes no sense. There are 2-3 sections that...

I will work on raising ch and cya this week, is it possible the low ch is causing the light spots?

Fc- 5.0 Cc- .5 Tc- 5.5 Ph- 7.2 Ta- 30 Ch- 150 Cya- 0

Will do

I have noticed large sections of light spots on my pool. I will try to get pictures up, but it's tough to see depending on clouds/shadows. What could be causing the spots? Ph and chlorine are in line, calcium hardness is 150, any advice would be appreciated. When I scrub them nothing happens.

C4030... Fat thumbs on the phone

cx880xre cartridge Hayward c4039 I'm looking to replace the cartridges and finding a bunch of different brands. What does everyone suggest? Trying to find decent replacement without breaking the bank.

Bleach added, will test in a few hours

Liquid bleach? Any brand in particular? I'll go buy some right now and get this going.

Leslies, 3 inch jumbo tabs. Trichloroisocyanuric acid, dry

The tabs say active ingredient: trichloro-s-triazinetrione

You are awesome, will check it out.

Yes lots of trees, the swg is not generating, I use a floater with chlorine pucks.

Last night FC 4.5 this morning it is at 3.5-4 it was almost clear at 3.5 completely clear at 4. If it is not some type of algae, where would metal in the pool come from I haven't filled it or added water lately.

So shocking would fix the metal as well? I will do the oclt tonight and report back.

What should I do to try to clear it up??

The pool is only about a year old, have not had any problems with metal. The chlorine got very low, down to almost nothing about a month ago, after being neglected throughout December. I had made the mistake of thinking it was too cold to worry about.

The water is clear but has a green tint to it, I just got my new test get and want to get started getting ready for spring. I will do the overnight test for FC tonight. FC 4.5 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 30-40 CH 110 CYA 20 Water temp 47 degrees

The lower salt is most likely due to the rain we have had. The unit is only a year old. The water/temp is too low to generate salt, that was the reason I was asking if I should bother adding the salt now or wait a month or two for the water to warm up. My pool is hanging right around 42-45 degrees.

It is a Hayward Turbocell T9. I believe it was reading 2200ppm, I know it's too cold to generate chlorine, but wasnt sure if I needed to add salt now or wait until it warms up.

I am getting a low salt message on my pool. During the winter I just use a floater/pucks for chlorine, is there any reason I should add salt now? Or is it okay until I wait for it to warm up.
