The new 8% stuff is a win for us who use bleach. Just recalculate the amount. I only store a couple weeks worth (summer) so higher concentration just means less jugs. Always pour slowly over deep end returns and I arch it away from wall in deep end returns. Best to just pour from jug, easy and...

Thanks again. If I can connect to jandy it only allows 2 on/off programs which is fine. So not a problem keeping both pumps on when I want. I guess I will just need to experiment on settings. Merry Christmas

Thanks I just realized what the pigtail is. I was considering the 45mp2, .5 to 10 gpd 25 psi. Should I use professional to connect to board? Should I be concerned about noise if adjusting to low rate and running longer? I would be able to set two start times and it would not be near normal swim...

I'm getting convinced this the way to go especially in central texas with flagstone. At this point just need to make sure i buy the correct model and tank. I want to thank all the posters on this topic. What exact model would you guys recommend for 30k pool in central texas. I'm thinking I want...

Reset the console and now both PDA's working. I just wouldn't assume channel issue seems more like just a need to reset console if PDA stuck. I had messed around last year getting a good channel so didn't want to change it unless I got some indication this problem was related to needing a...

I just had this problem but happen to have two PDA's and issue only with one of them. So believe problem is not RF channel related. Getting a new 9v battery before I try resetting. Will post result so anybody with this problem knows not an RF channel issue.

I don't have a SWG pool. But in general I think both of you are right, 110 is on high side and causing extra PH rise for me. I'm lowing it down gradually and see where PH becomes more stable.

Thanks. The recommended test kit (TF-100) says 100-120 for normal pools. My other stats. FC 3, CC 0, CYA 30. My PH varies by day but I try to keep it between 7.4 and 7.8.

I'm still struggling with PH and TA. I realize the two Spa waterfalls into pool will raise PH and the new plaster will also do this. My CH has been fairly constant and currently 250. With the rising PH I'm needing to add acid on a regular basis and this is lowering the TA, so also needing to...

I've noticed a couple of things about different test kits. TF-100 and the leslie complete DPD kit. The CYA test is higher in leslie kit versus TF-1000. It's basically the same regent but differnt examination tube and amount of water and regent. Difference is more than 10% like difference between...

Putting this in "Just getting started" because have not finished my first year and still fighting fires with the seasonal changes. In my part of the country the birds hit in February. Not sure what you call it but it's not nesting or night roost but day time swarms hunting food I guess. I'm not...

The 110 TA was temporary because it drops with repeated acid treatments to keep PH in line because of 6 month old plaster. Currently I'm at 4 FC approx 0 CC, 7.6 PH, TA 90, TC 275 and 25-35 CYA. If something trends in one direction I bump to end of range to add more time before next adjustment...

Thanks, I think what I'm seeing is switch away from tabs has created an increased need to add MA using bleach, in first year plaster situation. I'm still trying to understand lower TA, which is 110 today because I'm expecting the MA to lower it in coming weeks. What do you think I will find this...

I'm trying hybrid appoach, bleach in winter and tabs during summer, found Home Depot starting to carry off brand 1 1/2 gal for 2.99. I shop there all the time so works for me but noticed don't stock much of this. I think trial product for them. I'm still trying to determine draining needs but...

Re: Does BBB really make since when bleach raises PH so much Thanks for all the reponses. My PH rises about .1 per day so when it gets up to 7.8 I knock it back down to 7.4 or 7.5. So adding MA more than once a week. Currently my TA is 110 but thinking the constant adding of MA will gradually...

Thanks, I'm still trying to understand why I'm needing to lower PH so frequently. Sometimes it does seem to level a little but trend is most notible now. I thought 9 months into new plaster that would really start to be less of a maintenace issue raising PH. I've got my TA at 110 currently and...

Does BBB really make since when bleach raises PH so much? I'm just saying if your using bleach your PH problem is needing to lower it. Maybe some places don't have this problem but I also have a spa with couple falls into the pool which only adds to my rising PH problem. BBM? Also maybe since my...

New to forum and relatively new pool owner but have learned a lot reading this forum over the past year. Wanted to give my take on a Hybrid approach to keeping my pool clean, clear and safe without adding too much maintenance. At this point I’m not willing to convert to SWG pool to reduce...
