    Help. 3 boxes of washing soda instead of borax

    TA is down to 110 and i've been adding acid in low amounts to keep the ph at 7.2. Still cloudy. I only have a pool robot to run around and keep the precipitate off the floor between brushing. I'm going to clean the filter this evening as its probably pretty full of soda. After brushing or...

    Help. 3 boxes of washing soda instead of borax

    The TA this morning is 120. The ph is 7.4. The pool is still cloudy but much less so than it was. I’m going to drop the pool to 7.2 and continue aerating. Does that sound right?

    Help. 3 boxes of washing soda instead of borax

    I haven’t texted the TA after yet. It was 90 before. After adding 1 gallon the PH was 7.6 this morning and a little more clear. I’ll test TA this morning and adjust to 7.2 in the process.

    I have boric acid arriving in the morning that I may try to use since I need boron anyways.

    Help. 3 boxes of washing soda instead of borax

    Much appreciated on the fast help. The boron level wasn’t coming up so he kept adding. Lol. He called me frantic when the pool went opaque. We will survive.

    Help. 3 boxes of washing soda instead of borax

    So I asked a young man to help me out with my pool and he put 3 boxes of washing soda in instead of 3 boxes of borax. I try to keep the boron ppm at around 30-40 and he was trying to help. Pool is completely cloudy and the ph is through he roof. Help.

    New Pool Owner - Variable Speed Configuration

    I don't think i need to run it faster after reading a lot of the documentation here about chlorination and bleach vs tabs. The only real reason to run it faster is that the spa fills off the pool circuit and spills over the tiered spillway. If i don't run it at least about 1600 it won't even...

    ok, that makes sense. I think. Do i leave the Circuit Function for Pool High and Pool Low to Generic. I think I get it. These numbers and schedules are just to make sure i have it working. But i see two schedules running now and the pump is running the pool low configuration. Thank you...

    @ajw22 My pool builder is a nice guy, but he's not much on after care. He just got it all set up and said here you go. When I asked him how to do this he didn't know and suggested that he would need to call his Pentair rep. That's when i figured I'd come here. I've been reading the...

    New Pool Owner - Variable Speed Configuration

    Hi, I'm a brand new pool owner, first post. My pool has had water in it for a month and I'm just now getting to the point of learning about my pool. The startup was smooth and my pool looks great and I'm testing it weekly at my local supply store and treating it appropriately. My pool builder...
