Added CYA (which took a long while to dissolve in the bucket then pool style) CYA is now 40, pH 7.6, FC 5 & CC 0.2. I have my pool covered to retain heat and avoid chlorine loss so wanted to ask if need to add more to bring it up to 70ppm. Also, how often does one have to clean the salt cell...

Got it. My CYA 10 same as previously mentioned. Will place the cover back on and increase my SWG output in the interim. You all are amazing, can’t thank everyone enough

Ill most definitely keep that in mind; start low and go slow. Would sun exposure also help remove CC? If I do have to SLAM, my understanding is to use Di-chlor for SWG pools, correct? I left off the cover to expose to sun for the past 12 hrs and now have a FC 1.6, CC 0.4 and pH 7.6 so will not...

Thank you all for the reply! Didn't realize that you're able to see what I've entered into the app, so thanks for the insight. Still learning on how to use the app accordingly, so will begin to document appropriately and not erroneously haha! Will move to stop using the mineral cartridges and...

Update: No issues during the winter with the cover and was supported by the water below. Left the cover pump on the cover at times when the snow would melt, which helped with draining. Only issue was dirt on the cover which I was able to clean with pool brush, clean bucket of water and dawn...

This is the second year we've had an inground SWG (nature2 fusion) pool and just opened it. I'm using a a FAS-DPD Taylor Test kit and the following resulted: Free Chlorine = 2.8, Combined Chlorine =1 ppm, pH = 7.6. In knowing that the recommended for combined chlorine level is <0.5 ppm, wanted...

Thanks all for the replies! And yes, I'll post a better pic (only one I had at the moment) though it in the middle on the decline to the deep end and takes up quite a bit of space. Still waiting to hear back on what the final verdict is though appreciate any insight

Hello all! Wanted to get some insight on fiberglass pool repairs. We're new pool owners (this year) and had a Corinthian 16 installed with a rather large stain within it (see image below). Noticed it when the shell was placed (March of this year), to which it was explained by the builder that it...

Many thanks on the reply! My biggest concern was the longevity of the auto cover provided the cost attributed to it, though we ultimately made the decision to use it as a winter cover. I spoke to the APC installer who has been building pools since the early 80s and has over the past 8 yrs...

New pool owner here. Looking to cover our 16x40 fiberglass pool (Latham Corinthian) for the upcoming winter. We’re in line to get a T3 auto cover (pool was finished in May and have been waiting for >3 months now for the auto cover install) sometime in the coming weeks, though don’t want to use...

Got it. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I just added up from the Taylor manual so completely understand can’t be that precise haha! Do I add the acid directly in front of the skimmer? Thanks again

Thank you for this! I’ll look to add some then moving forward and will go low and slow to 30 ppm. Appreciate the insight

Thank you Master Grover :) Will use those techniques to pour and avoid turning off the generator. Have quite a bit to learn as an apprentice and truly appreciate the help

Hello all! Still a novice to pool chem, but recently purchased a Taylor K-2006 SALT kit and came up with the following TAlk: 120ppm FC: 2ppm CC: 0ppm CH: 180ppm pH: ~8 Salt: 3368 I have a saltwater pool (nature 2 fusion) and a fiberglass pool of ~15400 gal (Latham Corinthian 16) and would...

Got it, thanks @JamesW. Silly question, is it best to shut it off now and reset or wait a few more days to reset it once it's all mixed (unsure how long it takes to fully mix/saturate water). Also, this wouldn't ruin my salt cell would it? Truly appreciate the help

Yes, it's a fiberglass pool and apologize, have a nature fusion 2 soft 1400T. Appreciate all the help/insight and will look to order the K-2006C-SALT as recommended.

Hello all. Am a novice to pool chemistry and am a new owner to an inground saltwater pool (Latham Corinthian 16 with jandy aquapure automation). Had my pool water tested at the store on 05/29/22 (clear 360 touch test) to which the results were as follows FC: 0.99 TC: 1.45 pH: 7.7 T-Alk: 101 CH...

Thank you for the insight, truly appreciated!

Looking for some advice/insight on the differences between Coverpools and Coverstar auto pool covers for a SW pool. Few questions: Does the coverstar auto pool cover work well/at all with iaqualink? Does the cover pool stainless steel line make a big difference when compared to rope? Does anyone...
