    Low TA and Borate

    I tested my water using the Taylor test kit. I must have accidentally added an extra drop in the TA test as I thought my TA was 66 and twice now I tested it at 55. When I thought I had it at 66 I added the Boric Acid. Pool now sits at PH 7.4, FC 5, TA 55, CYA 40 (will increase in a couple...

    Boric acid and liner

    I put boric acid in on Friday from Duda55lbs and 28k pool, FC was 7, TA 66, PH 7.4. It went in and I brushed it to I could not see anymore white granular clumps on the floor. It was similar to when I add salt with the cloud it kicked up. I then left for a work trip retuning tonight. I looked...

    Treo Lights

    First year with a pool. Our liner is too big so we can't drain it too far. As a result, we can't drain below the Treo LED lights. The builder installed them after the pool was filled with water. I went to pull the lights and the connection is not coming out and the line is tight so I think...

My wife has told me to deal with it as it isn't noticeable and she does not want to deal with any more construction. My father in law said...

    Skimmer Question

    We are building a pool. The Poolbuilder uses a skimmer SP10841OM, but it is round and appears to be for a 1.5" pipe fitting. This skimmer is not available anywhere it seems. I spoke with a hayward distributor who helped me in the past with my old pool. They told me that if I did not care if...

    Build delay question

    We are in the process of building a vinyl liner pool and the build came to a halt. We have a hole, passed the plumbing inspection, and walls, but the builder says we cannot pour the collar or go any further as they can't get any skimmers. I question it as the builder I am using in NJ also told...
