I bought this waterproof deck box to store acid in because I wanted to get it out of my garage. Now I’m worried it will get too hot??

My PH is a bit low- 7.3 TA- 50 FC- 5.0 CC-0 I’m having a lot of people over in a few hours. Should I just go ahead and turn on the slide to maybe raise it a bit, or do I need to add some borax?

I use a lot of chlorine with the size of my pool. I have SO MANY bottles that stack up and nowhere local to recycle them (and I hate just sending them all to the landfill). I can get a 50gal drum for a little cheaper per gallon than I am paying now. I would have to store it in the garage...

My TA was at 60 when I opened this year and my PH was a little low. So I brought the TA up to 70 and my PH has been steady around 7.5-7.6. We’ve had a lot of rain the last 2 days and my results this morning are: FC- 6.0 CC- 0 PH- 7.9 TA- 70 CYA- 40 My PH is a little high and it says to add 2c...

This is my first year opening the pool from winter closing. When is the best time to open? I live in Southern Kentucky, but I have no way to tell the temp of the water under the cover.

I have a solid cover without a drain (pump on cover), liner pool with tanning ledge and liner over steps. I worry about draining so that the steps and ledge are out of the water… but don’t you have to drain below the returns?

I’ have lots of air coming out of the returns when the pump starts. After a few minutes, no more air. The pump hold prime while off, so I don’t think it’s that. I do notice that when the pump shuts off, I can hear a “sloshing” sound in the heat pump. I don’t notice water leaking anywhere though...

My pool has been crystal clear since we finished it a month ago. Yesterday they moved dirt around it, and it was super windy. It blew tons of dirt into the pool. I immediately started brushing and vacuuming. I have continually gotten the dirt off the sides and bottom, but the water is cloudy...

My TA has been 100 since we finished our pool about a month ago, but my PH has stayed within 7.6-7.8 steadily the whole time. I hate to mess with it if I don’t need to, and maybe cause another issue. Should I add acid to lower PH and TA, then turn the slide on until PH goes back up? Today’s...

How much air is normal to have in the pump? It’s hard to get a good picture, but i made a line where the water level is. It is running at 1725rpm.

I use liquid chlorine each day for 31k gal. My CYA is 30. I’m consistently using 2.5ppm per day (water temp 84 and high temps between 85-90 each day), so I’m adding 3 quarts (sometimes a whole gallon— I think maybe the strength isn’t as high as it is supposed to be) of 10% each day. I have...

What PH would you say this is? It has been matching 7.5 each time, but today it seems different. I do normally test in the evening. Is it okay to test morning or should I wait?

This is the sand filter I have: https://www.poolwarehouse.com/shop/excel-professional-grade-sand-filter/ The valve is for 1.5" plumbing, so our 2" plumbing is stepped down to fit the valve. It is cracked and I am going to have to replace it, so I was wondering if the valve with 2" plumbing...

Anyone willing to share your Variable Speed Pump schedule with this newbie?? I have the Hayward Tristar vs950 pump. I need to program the days/times/RPMs and I’m so overwhelmed! Any advice appreciated!

We started filling our pool 6 days ago, and it has rained throughout the week as well as the city water we used to fill it. The electrician is finishing the wiring today, so we haven’t been able to use the equipment at all. The water doesn’t look terrible, but it isn’t clear like it was when we...
