I'm not much of a help here. But the greener the pool is the more clorine it takes to kill the green and get the clorine high enough to prevent it from coming back. If you are testing your own sample maybe take a set to the local pool store and see if they get the same reading? What kind of...

Ok awesome thanks. I thought it was the right kit but hey after adding in the other block I'm still only in 20 bucks. So not bad and I'm in a dinky pool at the moment. Making sure the kiddos wI'll use it before going to large again

Well the kit covers all the same tests as the 2005. Same as recommended That's y I got confused. I just didn't know what the difference was in low and high tests and there wasn't anything I could find about it. Tests for: Free & Total Chlorine - 0.25-2.5 ppm Bromine - .5-5 ppm pH - 6.8 - 8.2...

I ordered the taylor complete (low 2105) test kit. I didn't realize it was not the one suggested taylor complete (High-2005)until after purchase. What's the difference? I still should be able to test with this one right?

From the stickers Heres what I found. Im not sure it what you are looking for tho. lasor sand filter: 51 Inches around the container Model number is 160l-s1lr6-hk6 Filter area: 1.33 ft squared height: 24.5 inch tank diameter: 16 inches filter: 27 GPM Backwash: 20 GPM Pump: Pentair PMP 1HP...

Im assuming its the nuts under that sideways sticker?

OK did a long backwash for around 5 mins and a rinse. Alot of brown water came out but only for a min or so then it was clear again. But I have good water movement again. At least for now. gonna go get a pic of the filter. I'll be back to post it

how exactly do I expose the sand? Do I take the bolts off by the filter setting arm?

The water right now is cloudy. I had it clear but now with the pump issues its going south. The side bucket is full of water and the pump is full as well it just doesnt keep the water flowing. If I dont plug and unplug it regually everything runs just wont keep the water moving out of the...

Yes it does seem to help. I thought maybe I didnt backwash it long enough when I first opened the pool so I have done it 2 times in the last few days. Oh and it spits dusty stuff when I plug asnd unplug it to keep it going.

Our pump worked fine last year and now its not holding the prime. After several hours it doesnt move water at all. I can get it primed but it doesnt last longer then a few hours. I also have a lot of small bubbles coming into the return line. Pressure stays around 12 and I backwashed already...

He wrote down Chlor 1.6 and then Free Clor is .6 So Im assuming the Clor is combined

Thanks for the quick reply. Gonna go try it..Hope it will stop leaking :)

Yeah, the reason we drained was to try and get some crinkles out of the liner as well. But they were indented in there. I added a chlorine tab with the stabalizer in it today to the skimmer. Is it ok for it to sit in the skimmer basket or get a floater for it?

Ok, got the new skimmer in and installed....finally it doesnt leak. I had to use some silicone around the edges and between the gaskets. However now the new connecter where the water returns to the pool is leaking. It has 2 rubber gaskets and a cork one. Could I remove the cork all together?

posted this already but not showing on my side:::: I used HTH super shock n swim---ingredients: Calcium Hypocholrite 52%--Other Ingredents 48% Minimum Available clorine 49% We bought the house over the winter months and I didnt (and refused) to swim in others owners water. The pool was...

Hello, I just got finished reading pool school but Im not sure Im using the calculator correctly. I emptyed the pool and refilled it today with tap water. I have the HTH 6 way test kit. Heres my tests so far: Tap water: Total CL less then 1 PH 7.5 Alkalinity- took 13 drops of titrant to...

Would I trace on the outside of the new skimmer or trace on the inside hole?

Seems like the attachment would work. However my whole skimmer bucket has fallen apart so I need the whole bucket/wall insert. If the skimmerboy was more then a few dollars I'd try to construct one. Think Im gonna give it a shot when Im up and running. Cant be to hard a few pvc tubes and some...

I couldnt find just the bucket either. But seems like the other models some have the same type of bucket. Maybe buy a cheaper one just for the bucket and use your pump. http://www.calsplash.com/summer-escapes ... pumps.html. From this site it was discontinued...

I didnt like the salt water filter. All my tests were great but it felt like beach water :( Yuck not like smooth pool water. Plus was always sticky like the beach.

After getting shock in and circulating my skimmer cracked :( Its a rather old pool and cant find a skimmer with the right deminsions. Has anyone ever bought a skimmer bigger then there opening and installed it? Is that easy to accomplish?
