Hey Ted, I am not an expert by any means, but from reading on this website it sounds like the pH will drift up over time if you use the waterfall, which looks like you have one from your photos. I also tested my pH today and it was high, 8.0. I added some MA and it came down quickly to 7.6...

Ted, Hey fellow valley of the sun resident! Your pics look very similar to my pool. I had mine drained also and now it is re-filled. My test results were pretty good too and I've been reviewing pool school and using the pool calculator to see what I need to do first. My CYA was way out of...

I enjoyed your story and the pics! It reminds me of my pool. It was the same color of green and then it was milky blue. I gave up, maybe prematurely, and am now sitting here with any empty pool. Will fill it again when the pool people are done pressure washing and chlorine rinsing. However...

Thank you for this website! I just joined today and have learned quite a bit so far by reading your pool school and other info. I will need some help in the future as my pool is quite green and we have done the "pool store" solution and will start fresh when the chemicals I've added (probably...
