I’m thinking the next pool will be either that exact pool or the 10’x30” which is plenty for my purposes and same no permit or fence required. I would assume in NorCal you leave yours up year round?

What did you upgrade to? We had a 12x12 “deck” platform built to level the ground so between that and not wanting to get permits, fence, etc by township we’re limited. Yes I have the “I just want to relax and float to get a tan” and also stay cool in the humid PA summers bug!

Wow - that is some great info! Thanks. So it sounds like where I have the intake is where the return should go? The accessory kit that came with the pump actually has the parts link #1 shows. Thank you again. I know there is a way to do this - I just have to keep researching - but you’ve been...

All I have is a hole - is that a wall penetration? Picture for reference only - it’s same pool that leaked so it’s empty. Thanks.

Hi, I got this pump for this pool. I need to find some kind of “sleeve” to attach the hose through my little pool wall. Any ideas what this is called or where to get it? Pic #1 is MY pool, pic #2 is new pump. Pic #3 is the connector which is being shown on A DIFFERENT POOL - not mine! The...

Thanks! What a difference some advice from this group and a few days makes! 👍

Ok thanks! Should I just let it ride with the stabilizer sock in, take that out and/or add anything like baking soda?

Just took this reading. 5 drops each R-0001 and R-0002. Looks like a HUGE improvement from where I was when I first posted. What do you think?

I’m using a Taylor K-2005 test kit. Believe me if you’re confused by it imagine how I feel - I’m a TOTAL newbie! 🤦‍♀️

Ok thank you for your patience with my ignorance. I’ll check it and report back. Thanks again. I do appreciate it!

Will do - thanks! Uh…what is DPD? Can I test that with my current kit?

Ok. Got it. Sorry my picture is unclear. I should’ve circled the LEFT block. Please ignore the pH side. I don’t have my kit with my so I tried to use a picture I had to answer your question as you’re helping answer my question. So - if I understand you correctly my “chlorine” is 7.5. Is that...

Oh sorry. According to the Taylor K-2005 kit videos, the first test is combined chlorine (5 drops each of reagent #1 and #2) and then total chlorine is measured by adding 5 drops of reagent #3. If I understand their directions right you subtract TC From CC to give you the chlorine level? The...

Hi, I got the stabilizer and put it in a nylon which I squeeze daily. I’ve also been adding chlorine daily as recommended. I tested chlorine yesterday. Combined chlorine and total chlorine are both reading 7.5-15 on the Taylor scale. I’m guessing that’s better since before they were both...

Will do. Thanks! Sorry to be such a pain but is this a good choice?

Ok thanks. Not to be really stupid but how do I GET CYA?

Ok will do. 8 oz? Can I still float today? Should o run and get stabilizer to get CYA to come up? Thanks!

Results this morning. Ph 7.2. Free and total chlorine still not on the scale. TA took 9 drops to get red - last night took 5. What should I do? Last night I added 8 oz baking soda and 8 oz 10% chlorine. I really want to float today! Please help!

Ok. I’ll put that on my list…thank you again. Recommendations as to best place to purchase - besides a pool store or Amazon? I got my chlorine at Ollie’s- much cheaper! Oh and I finally got the pool math app to work but when I tried to put in what I did per your recommendations I’m sure I did...

Mknauss - I cannot thank you enough for all of your help! Thankfully I had exactly 10% chlorine and I added that and the baking soda. Hoping it clears it up - pump will run another 5 hours. Should I pick up some stabilizer next trip - and a different test kit? Yes the darn thing was Amazon but...

That stupid test kit was $70 - and it’s missing something important??? 😳. What the fudge!
