My mistake. I dont have that house anymore. I'll change it. Incidently... ill never bury a above ground pool ever again. It was a doughboy pool, rated to be buried and was buried per instructions by builder... rusted out in 3 years. $15 grand down the drain...

It's not buried. It's a walmart pool... lol

It's an intex pool... should be fine

Thanks. I'm burning $12 a day in bleach... another week or 2.... monetarily speaking... maybe i should just drain / scrub / refill... hate to do it but i can't see spending $200 in bleach to save $100 in water....

First off... really hating myself right now, because I opened this pool back in early march and left the cover on it, and it was balanced and crystal clear before I pulled the cover off. I stupidly didn't pump the water off the top of the cover and let it fall into the pool which...

Will chlorine eventually eat the detergent away or is it there until I drain?

Thanks. Maybe we'll look at switching to a different detergent for swimwear.

New 1 month old hot tub. Filled and purged with Awwsome. Filled with oklahoma city water. 10% pool bleach from Walmart added daily per pool math. K2006 results: FC - 8 CC - .5 pH - 7.8 TA - 60 CYA - 30 CH - 100 I also am running gentle spa in it. Although I haven't added any since the...

Ahh some. Note: it dissolves better in water above 90 so if a new fill with cold water, heat up a bowl of water in microwave, dissolve ahh some in it and then pour it in. I got this procedure straight from the guy at ahh some. I did this on a brand new tub 2 weeks ago and was appalled at how...

Not new to TFP and use TFP methods on my pool. I have my pool perfect. Bought a 110v spa 2 weeks ago. T2006 test results on 300 gallon spa at 100 degrees. (It's still hot in Oklahoma so I have it turned down. ) FC - 9 CC .05. CYA 30 ( I did read pool school for spas and worked hard to dial...

Will do. Thanks!

Ok. Let me start with chemistry. Taylor K2006 tests PH - 7.6 CC - 0 FC -26 TA - 90 CYA -50 Pool water looks dirty. Its clear... but dingy. Pool is still covered. I hooked everything back up last week and got it circulating. As im sure you are all aware, temps in the south (im in Oklahoma...

Yeah. It is aimed away the skimmer is upstream of it. In the past I've had more powerful pumps that would whirlpool a pool like this so I didn't think a lot about it when I put the skimmer in where it's at plus I put it basically where the OEM skimmers were. Maybe instead of a second skimmer...

So we bought a 18-ft x 42 Bestway pool from Sam's which we are loving. automatically of course I scrapped the crappy pump that came with it and ponied up another $160 for a better sand filter / pump combo going with the 2400 gph xtremepower 3/4 hp with 26 inch sandfilter. I also blocked off...

Got it. Thank you!

Thank you Sir. Ill up it to 60 and see what that does.

6500 gallon intex. Sandfilter. FC - 3 goal is 7 CC -0 CYA- 50 TA 60 PH 7.2 Water crystal clear and feels great. I use TFPM and goals Overall very happy with the chemistry in my pool other than the ph keeps staying at 7.2 despite many times ive used borax to bring it to 7.5. Possibly due to...

Normally do the TFP method with 10% bleach added daily. But we are going out of town for 4 days and i dont want to come home to a lost pool. My thoughts were - 1. Full tests right before we go - make sure everything is good before we go. 2. Bring it to shock level. Thatll cost me a $5...

Ill never have in pool steps again. EVER. Reasons: 1. Every year you got to take them out to winterize, especially if pool freezes. They are a royal pain to take out because of the weight. It takes two or three people to get them out depending on the size of the ones that you...

Thank you sir!

I just did my power steel pool. I used chair leg bumpers from hardware store to seal off original ports. I pvc glued and clamped them. No leaks. Hayward return fit oem hole perfect. Skimmer install same as 3 other intex pools ive done. Hope this helps you.

Been out of the pool game for a few years I'm getting back in. on the TA test when it goes from green to clear and then slightly pink is that where we count it or is it where it goes full red? How red should it get for measurement? I forget. Thank you

Ive never had luck with CYA in socks. I just measure and fling it across the pool bottom. Gone in a few days.... or 30 minutes if the kids play... lol

The best way pool has two of these located I think about 2 to 3 foot off the bottom of the liner I haven't unrolled my liner yet. I'm still in the planning phase on this as I'm waiting for some dirt to be hauled into level the area. so 2 quarter sized holes that you will need to patch unless...
