Thanks. My Ph is very high, darker then the last number on the test. (more then 8.2) My TA looked ok at 80 I put a gallon of 10% liquid chlorine in last night and that is all gone and it was a cool overcast day today. I will test and add Acid a few times a day so I don't over shoot.

So I replaced about 40 feet of water line tile and re-grouted all 120 feet of water line tile. I got a lot of grout in the pool. There is probably about 10 pounds of grout in the pool. There was so much that it turned the water cloudy and raised the the PH to 8.2. I got sock on the skimmer...

I'm replacing about 20 feet of water line tile that has fallen off due to winter freeze of the water when I did not drop the water level far enough. This is what I learned through my research. 1. Thin set laticrete 254 platinum or versabond. the 254 says is pool and underwater rated...

Nice, So you used the multi tool to scrape/vibrate the old thin set off the shell and you held the shop vac up to it to collect the dust? I'm going to try that.

Jay, Do you have after pictures? What are the exact products that you used?

sounds expensive if they need to come out and measure.

You have a mesh cover, it lets sunlight in, and that grows algae. Your parents have a solid cover that lets no sunlight in, so no algae growth. Algae starts growing in your pool early March, so by the time the middle of May rolls around you got your self black swamp. If you replace the...

I looked them up, I will contact them. I need to figure out a way to accurately measure and graph my pool so I can get estimates from several companies. I see there is a phone app that can help me.

Ill check them out. I did read that dealers can add any mark up they want to on the price Loop Loc quotes them. so If they want to make $1,000 on the price of the cover, they just add $1,000 to the price.

I just got my quote for a replacement Loop-Loc cover. $4,000. Now my cover is 19 years old and it has been good every year except the last couple of years. I am having a hard time accepting that price. The shape of my pool does not allow for the placement of a generic rectangle cover on my...

So the zip ties I put in to hold the hoses in place inside the polaris cleaner 2 seasons ago, got brittle and broke off. The original ones 15 years old are still going strong. I see polaris sells zip ties 6 for $10, but I want to get this fixed today. What is special about polaris zip ties...

Trying to work around that, $200 for the timer, and then the wiring of it seems complicated. That is the best answer though. If I could find a mechanical timer that would fit in a light switch box, I would just set the timer to be off for 2 hours, on for 1, all the way around the dial...

I have 1 timer on my pool. The Timer turns on and off the pool pump. It is wired so it only allows the booster pump to run if the power is on to the pool pump. So I can leave the Polaris booster pump power in the on position and when the regular pump turns on power is supplied to the Booster...

I have an inline chlorinator. I started adding Cal Hypo granules to the my pool through the inline chlorinator. My thought was the Calhypo would dissolve in the water in the chlorinator and be added to the pool. Today when I added it and closed the top I heard a poping/cracking sound. I...

Just checked, my R0004 is just an old bottle that I emptied and refilled out of a 2 oz bottle that didn’t fit in my case. The 2 oz bottle expires 7/20 and has never been outside. it would nice to know I’m getting alkaline water out of the tap though.

Just tested water from the hose. It tested above 8.0. I think my reagent is bad. It expired 5/18.

I’m using a Taylor text kit 2006 I think. FC was at 3ppm at time of the test.

I jumped the gun and put some acid in there. My next PH test looked even darker red. Then I tested it with an uncalibrated PH meter that I just changed the batteries on and got a PH of 7.3

I have a mesh cover. Rain water and much dust and pollen pass through. I probably add/replace 1/4 of my water with rain water and snow. my pool started turning green and I hit it with 2 gallons of 10 % bleach. The water looks clear, it’s cold and I can see dust covering the bottom. I thrown...

This is what I was trying to figure out. (I rounded numbers to make it easier) 50 pounds of Cal hypo $129 gives me 168 ppm of free Chlorine and 119 ppm of Calcium. it would take 62 gallons of Walmart cleaning bleach (6%)($1.77 a gallon) $110 to give me 168 ppm of free chlorine. it would take...

effects of adding chemicals that's exactly what I need thank you.

they do have a big pool section. I know I am all over the place with this post, but the pool essentials liquid shock is 10% for $3.64 walmart cleaning bleach is 6% for $1.77 tomorrow I will not have a choice, but in the future whats the better deal? its the cleaning bleach right?

this is what was said about tri chlor; One 3” (8oz) Tablet of Trichlor delivers approximately 5.495 ppm of available chlorine and 3.27 ppm of Cyanuric acid into 10,000 gallons of water. Trichlor contains 54.2% by weight of the chlorine carrier molecule Cyanuric acid, so every 8oz tablet of...

Looking to start up my pool with tri or Cal until I can find bleach at the stores. Also trying to do a cost comparison. In the swim has 50 pounds of Calcium Hypochlorite 68% so that will give me 34 pounds chlorine and 16 pounds of Calcium. $129 50 pounds of trichlor is $100. 54.2% by...

Right now I have the pump running on a timer. 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening. My Polaris cleaner has an on-off light switch. the Polaris will only run if the filter pump is running. I only want to run my Polaris during the morning 4 hour run time. It seems like I could...

you can't vacuum to waste? I have a Jandy valve between my pump and filter. I can just turn the valve to block the filter and the water will discharge on the ground when I start up the pump. All the antifreeze gets removed from the pool this way.

From my polaris manual For proper operation, the wheel RPM should be between 28 and 32. If the Polaris is operating below 28 RPM: • Remove the universal wall fitting by attaching the quick disconnect. Pull it away from the pool wall as you unscrew the universal wall fitting. • Push the blue...

Not sure why your pump would come on, but 1 year I forgot to turn off the breaker or remove the ON pin on the timer and my pump would come on every day at 8 like the timmer was set for. I was at work and didn't know the pump was coming on. This was happening for 2 weeks. I believe the pump...
