I am looking into replacing my sand filter & pump. I am leaning towards a cartridge filter with a 2 speed pump. Can you tell me what size filter & pump would be best?

Yes, CC was 0, FC-0, PH-7.5, TA-110, CYA-55. Added chlorine to bring FC to about 20 4pm yesterday. Today FC was 0 at 9am, checked it again at 10:15 it was down to 15, added another gallon. Checked it at 4:30 it was down to 10, added 2 more gallons. Yesterday & this morning I couldn't seen the...

Yesterday I tested the CYA it was 55, no chlorine. Since she added it a couple days ago I was trying to get the slam target. So I added 2 gallons of 12.5% yesterday to bring th FC to 20. This morning it was gone. Went twice today adding more. Stopping tonight to check it again. Guess I will up...

Ok so it's an 8lb bucket so using 128 ounces in pool math the whole bucket would raise the CYA to 74 right? Wow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friend of mine asked me some questions about her pool that is currently cloudy. She recently added this http://www.lesliespool.com/leslies-chlorine-stabilizer-water-conditioner-buckets/chlorine-stabilizer.htm to her pool. Does anyone know how I can find out how much this would raise her CYA...

FYI, DeniseP is the friend I was talking about in this thread I posted: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/75172-New-pool-setup-help-for-a-friend. I posted a set of test results on the tap water.

Thank you!

Hi All, This is my second year with my pool and my first full season going BBB. I have read a ton on this site and so happy to have found it! I am amazed by all your knowledge. I am pretty comfortable with all my testing and pool care. A friend of mine is having a 24' round AG pool with a...

Same here. Opened ours today and it was crystal clear!!! So happy I found this site last year!

My TA is 140. Do I need to do anything about it? I have read a couple different recommended levels & am not sure what to go by, my TF-100 directions say between 100-120 and TFP says 70-90+. I am now over both recommendations, most of the year it hung out around 120. I do not have a problem...

Thanks Dmsattelberg, I have been watching your thread also. Thanks chem geek that makes since. I actually brought the pool up to shock level last night because I believe we had a kid get in the pool that had poop on him. I have SLAMed it all day partly because I am interested to see if it...

Bumping hoping for feedback on my post from yesterday please.

Last week in May.

Ok so I used up the last of my Sustain tabs & started BBB yesterday. I am hoping to get some comments to see if I am on the right track & let me know if there is anything else I should be doing. Last night at 8:30pm I measured the FC at 2.5 so I added 78oz of 12.5% bleach to get to 8.5 hoping...

That looks great!!!

When you start the "system" the pool store has you add CYA to 30. Fortunately my pool has been clear all year but I have kept my pool between 4-6 FC for my CYA reading not the 1-3 Sustain recommends. I also did not add the small "shock" tabs weekly bc they sent my FC past 30 & I saw no reason...

I am going to start with the bleach tonight. My plan is to just ignore the CC for now until the Summer Sheild wears off.

Yes, mine has the same typo.

I have posted both places, I meantioned in my first post of this thread that I have posted both places. This is my first year owning and taking care of a pool, I am looking to get as much information as I can. I want to make sure I am doing everything the best I can. I have gotten valuable...
