    Chemistry issues persist

    Appreciate the information and honest feedback. I've updated my signature with pool equipment info. Do you recommend any test kits in particular that are simple to read? I'm looking at the Taylor test kits ranging from $70 to $125 online. How about digital test kits? Honestly, I'd be willing...

    Chemistry issues persist

    Ok, I have a new pool that we installed in February 2023. Since that time, we have had to drain the pool on 3 separate occasions (about 1/2 way each time) to get the CYA level down.

    Small cracks in shotcrete, should I advise my builder to epoxy?

    Thank you for the review. My builder mentioned a similar result. He said that the plaster stage would fill all visible surface cracks throughout the pool shell. I can't really gauge the depths of the cracks either. If one was inclined to use an epoxy, or hydraulic cement, to further protect the...

    Small cracks in shotcrete, should I advise my builder to epoxy?

    Greetings. My new pool was poured on Tuesday, July 12 2022 (one week ago). On the first day, within a few hours after the pouring, I noticed several small hairline cracks starting to form at the grading edge of the pool floor. I have watered the pool with my hose set to the shower setting two...
