Hi Guys, I have a metal fence surrounding my pool, the paint is chipping off and some spots on the fence has rust. I want to clean all this up and repaint it, one thing I was told that was needed to be done was to sand all the rust areas. What do you guys recommend when sanding metal around...

Hi TFP, I currently do not have any CYA in my pool due to heavy rain here in SoCal and having my pool overflow and partially draining it several times as my pool gets filled up with rain water. So, the last year I have decided to move to liquid chlorine because my CYA levels were off the...

I am going open up my pool for the season, and will be slaming it. During the off season, it has rained, overflowed, I basically did not take care of it at all. I wanted to ask if I should clean my DE filters before SLAMing or just SLAM and then clean the DE filters? What's your recommendation?

Hi, I do both the CL test and also the Chlorine Drop Test. The CL test does not reflect the chlorine drop test. My Chlorine drop test shows that I have 1.5 FC and recommended to add 76oz of Chlorine, but doing the CL test, the test visually looks like its already above the maximum line. FC =...

Hi Guys, I am going to start slamming, but just wondering the best time of day to do this? CYA is between 30-40 FC = 1 CC = .5 PH = 7.8, just added some muriatic acid to lower it to 7.2

Just wondering, how many times can I shock the pool, as in can I shock the pool 3 nights in a row? but not slamming it. My pool was cloudy, I did a normal shock and it cleared up a lot but still lightly cloudy. Can I shock again the next night? and again the next night?

Hi, My Cyanuric Acid Reagent (R-0013) is clear straight out from the test kit. When I add it into my sample water, its still clear. Is it supposed to be noticeably cloudy? or can it be that I don't have enough CYA to react to the reagent?

Just wondering, do I need to add water into the pool pump filter basket every time I open up the lid to empty it out? or can I just close the lid and turn on the pump and it will prime itself?

Hi, I was just wondering do you guys test each item chemical and balance it after each individual test or test all chemicals then balance after? Where I am getting at is, if test for 1 chemical and then balance that chemical, does it throw off the other chemicals? Therefore, should I wait...

Hi, I just got my kit, and doing a CYA test. I am unable to see the black dot at the bottom of the tube before the water level reaches the first mark. What does that mean?

Hi, I just got my TS Test Pro kit. I am doing the Chlorine Drop test, I filled the water tube to the 10ml as suggested in the instructions and then added the R-0870 and the water turned pink. I then added the R-0871 and the pink became white and cloudy. I added 40 drops and the water became...

My TA has always been pretty high, my TA reading was at 200+ and my PH reading was at 7.5, I added Muriatic Acid to try to bring down my TA but my TA level is still at 200+ (tested 24 hours after adding Muriatic Acid), this obviously brought down my PH to 7.2, which I will raise back to 7.5 by...
