    Cloud of dirt from returns for 5-10 seconds at pump startup

    Hi, I just opened my pool this week - opened it before the water temp hit 50 to beat the algae. The water is looking clear/good and my chemicals all look good (30cya, 6 FC, 0 CC, 7.5 PH 80 TA, 30 borate) but when I first turn on my pool pump in the morning it emits a stream/cloud of dirt from...

    Pool Calculator MIN/MAX vs GOAL RANGE

    Does anybody know why the pool calculator doesn't update the "GOAL RANGE" when changing the CYA? I changed the CYA from 25 to 80 just to see it change the GOAL RANGE but it never did. (Note: I normally keep my CYA at 40, I'm just testing the calculator) You can see at the bottom the MIN and...

    Pool Slide Repair and Remount

    I'm in process of repairing my "Aquaslide N Dive" pool slide. Eventually I'll get to resurfacing the slide itself, but right now I'm trying to replace the deck flange mounts which were plastic and cracked pretty bad - so I bought replacement aluminum ones. Of course while removing the nuts on...

    Chlorine Usage

    So I've been consistently using about 4ppm of chlorine per day in my pool and I was wondering if that's normal? cya: 45 ph: 7.5 alk: 175 temp: 89 The pool calculator says I need to maintain a 4-8 with my current cya so I target 6 - each morning adding a full gallon of chlorine (pool calc says...

    Review of my results please

    FC = 4.5 CC = < .5 Ph = 7.5 Alk = 150 CYA= 20 So things are looking much better with my pool this year. Last year I had a CYA of 120 (yikes!) and a partial refill during the winter closing did the trick. I feel I have a good grasp on what I'm doing now. My water has never...
