Hello everyone, Just have a quick question about upgrading a Pump. I currently have a Hayward 3/4 HP single speed pump with 1.5 Plumbing and a 24 Inch 1.5 inch multiport sand filter. I am looking to upgrade to a VSP pump and am just wondering if the Tristar 1.85hp VSP pump might be too much...

Just wondering when they changed the search function on this forum to "Google Forum Search"? I could have swore this button use to look like the rest of the buttons across the top. It use to search within the forum and return a list of relevant topics. It didn't take you back to the internet...

Just wondering if you guys would lower TA when it reaches 130ppm? When I opened the pool this year my CYA was zero but my PH was also around 7.0 so is I raised the PH to 7.4 which counter acted the CYA addition. Doing so also pushed my TA to 130ppm. Just wondering what my limit for TA should...

I am in the process of closing my pool as I write this. I have added my chlorine and my algaecide and I am almost below my returns as far as draining is concerned. Do I need to add Scale and Stain remover? The instructions on the Stain and Scale say not to use when super chlorinating or for 7...

Well I must have slacked off a little and I am paying for it now :oops: . I have had a clear pool all summer (and have never shocked other than opening day) and Monday night I pulled the solar cover off (it has been cold and wet lately) and the bottom of the pool had a light green film on it...

I have a quick question that relates to the topic instead of starting a new tread on the same subject. I was also using dry acid to lower my PH and then switched to MA. I was able to get my PH down easy enough but I went from a TA off 110 down to 80ppm now. Does Dry acid lower the TA the same...

I tried to search this topic but can really only find answers for when there is an algae problem present. I have my water chemistry right where I think I want it. FC 4 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 110 CH 140 CYA 30 Temp 28C or 80F I have not had any issues with CC and 2-4 people use the pool regularly. I...

Here are my numbers first: FC 4.5 (added 3L two days ago because we have had allot of rain and the pool was only at 2ppm (and I wanted to fill my jugs before the weekend rush) CC 0 PH 7.6 TA 100 CH 140 CYA <5 (but something there because it is just barely cloudy on...

Well I just got my kit in the mail from Apollo Pools. My pool has been open for two weeks now and I have been vacuuming and brushing regularly. I also installed a new 24 Hayward sand filter and 300 pounds of sand (nepheline syenite) replacing my old Sta-Rite 20" sand filter. I have been...

I have a beginner question here. When using the pool calculator the chemicals to be added to the water are measured in grams. Just wondering how you guys added chemicals by weigh? What type of measuring device are you using; I guess is what I am asking. I have a measuring cup but "cups" are...

Well I am getting ready to open my pool this season and I am a little worried about how much time is left on this older sand filter. According to the only place I have been able to even find a picture of this thing, the filter was dicontinued in 1988. http://www.poolcenter.com/parts_filter_...

Hello everyone, I just have a quick question about an in ground 16x32 rectangular pool and the skimmer. I just recently purchased this house this past fall and I am getting ready to open the pool this spring. I had slipped the hose under the cover this weekend and started to fill the pool back...
