I can't believe there is no way of measuring it?! I would never want to blindly add something either weekly or once monthly.

This was my thought, what happens if you use both CYA and this mysterious product?

Howdy folks, Brand new Aussie product here, what on earth has Bioguard been cooking up now: https://bioguard.com.au/products/eco-sunscreen-and-clarifier/ Any thoughts on what this actually is? Chat GPT advised its propiatary and I can't even find a Safety Data Sheet. I did however find the...

To answer all the questions in an attempt to get an answer myself. The pH drifted low due to rain (the only thing that has been added apart from chorine), it started to come up over a two week period with the addition of chlorine. The water temperature is quite cold at the moment 11c (52F) so...

poolcalculator.com Am I missing something. The result of adding this much did not give me the desired result of 7.5 it shot right up to 8.2-8.3. Similar to lowering, the calculated amount was not even half what was required. At the risk of people pointing out something I have overlooked or not...

I never trust someone who says "trust me" :-D The tests were not the pool stores, pH, TA, CYA and Chlorine are all mine. Just seemed to be a pretty big difference both times while trying to increase my pH and then undo the damage caused. Let me ask here, how much soda ash would you add to a...

Hello All, I adjusted my pH up today as it was a little low at 6.9. I used poolcalculator.com, entered all my values and it advised to add 2430g (5.3 Pound) by weight of washing soda or soda ash. The pH usually drifts up by itself and it did however a lot of rain lately drove it back down. I...

Hey there! 1st post for bzerk86, thought I'd contribute to this awesome forum :goodjob: I heated my pool in winter for my birthday. We were experiencing close to 2c (35F) nights and 12c (54F) days. I started early as my pool was at 11c (52F), 4 days before I heated it to 20c, then 25c the...
