    Calculating actual amount of acid for TA drop

    Perfect thanks. Yeah I’m definitely not adding it all at once and I’m sure that’s why they tell you to do it the way they do (because someone would just dump in 4 gallons).

    Calculating actual amount of acid for TA drop

    I’ve been doing the drop your pH with muratic acid and aerate back to 7.6 deal for a couple days. I can’t seem to find a calculator that gives exactly how much muratic acid it’s gonna take to get TA from 200 to 100 ppm though. I just don’t want to keep making trips to Home Depot. Is there a...

    Ran out of sulfuric acid - is it all the same?

    I had to replace the liner so I'm getting my water in order but didn't realize I as out of R-009. The label just says sulfuric acid .12N, is this the same stuff you'd get at the hardware store? I can't get the Taylor brand stuff until Friday.

    Air pockets under sand

    Hey guys. So I decided to replace my liner. So far so good but I noticed air pockets under the sand in a few places. It looks like they installed a plastic flooring before they put the sand down and there’s air trapped under it. Is it safe to poke a hole to let the air escape?

    Skimmer sock - yuck

    That was brand new and white less than 24 hours ago.. so glad we use these. No idea what all that brown stuff is, it’s fibrous though…feels like pulp when we clean it. Pools clean and balanced.

    Weird staining on exactly 2/3 of pool

    Iron confirmed. I don’t have current numbers as we just opened it last week but I’ve been following TFP since day one. Liners about 9 years old and due for a replacement…tougher to find someone to do that than a landscaper this time of year and way more expensive than I imagined.

    Weird staining on exactly 2/3 of pool

    I’m going to do the absorbing acid daal but any idea what would cause this? As in why does it follow the seam line like that?

    Trouble screwing on on filter lid

    The directions say that the lid needs to engage those hooks. Trouble I’m having though is getting it that far. I’m at least a full turn away when it stops. I tried spray silicone but that didn’t help at all. Is there a trick to this? I have this problem every year. I’ve tried a rubber mallet...

    Wrinkles in pool liner walls

    Hey guys, I've got a 4 year old AGP that's developed wrinkles in the liner on the walls of the pool. Any ideas what causes this or how I can fix it? I think it's a unibead liner.

    Anyone have plans for wedding cake steps for outside the pool?

    Hey guys. Since the village wants 42" concrete piers poured for a simple pool deck I'm looking at other options to get in the pool this year. I was thinking we could build some nice wooden wedding cake steps instead. I can't seem to find any plans though. I'm no master craftsman but I think...

    Dirt or something else?

    Will do. [emoji5]️ Tree debris, never heard of that. Are you talking about normal leaves etc or do they produce a dust like that? We have a large oak tree right next to the pool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dirt or something else?

    FC is good and there's no CC though, thought I'd be in the clear. TBH since starting TFP (since day one) I've never brushed it, never had to (or so I thought). This is the end of the third season. Or I should say I don't scrub the walls anyway. I've suck up the visible dirt on a regular basis...

    Dirt or something else?

    Hey guys, pools sat with the filter going 24/7 with the solar cover on for the past couple weeks and I came out to this mess. Waters still crystal clear, FC was at 4.8, CC was at 0. CYA is around 40. Is this just dirt? I've been fighting this on a small scale all year. Never looked this bad...

    Return location when using a slime bag

    Hey guys. I've got a slime bag attached to the return right now. Problem is that there's no circulation with it in there. It just return the water to the surface right next to the skimmer. So I'd think it's just sucking in the same water it just filtered? The other problem is that with our solar...

    Thanks for the numbers, I'm thinking more of a "hey I want this, build it for me" though. $50k cover it?

    What would this cost to build?

    Area at top converts to hot tub, it normally waterfalls out the front but in hot tub mode the water level drops and hot water jets in. It's all automated. South Florida construction. Pools around 24x16. 3 feet at the edges 5 feet in the center

    Lost my stirring bar from the Taylor Speedstir - Cheap replacement?

    Hey guys, I seem to have lost that little white stirring bar that come with the Speedstir kit. I see they sell a $10 replacement. Any cheaper options? Isn't it just a small bar magnet?
