Well I got the stains up with a pumice stone without much effort. There were 2 patches of these spots, one on a seat in a neat small triangle. Other was 3-4 spots in the deep end that were random. I am thinking your right that it was some type of organic or metal that fell in. I noticed the...

Hi all, I've been managing my pool since June using BBB, and I have not had any problems. This morning when i went out to do my daily levels check I noticed a couple markings on the pool that looks like rust. They are small in size, about the size of a dime. They don't brush off, and its smooth...

Sounds like my house yesterday, pool increased in depth by 5" in about 30mins. Its drained alittle from the overflow by this morning, but that was a lot of water. Last night FC dropped little more than normal could be the increase in water, sunlight, and whatever falls in our Arizona Monsoons...

I wanted to question the minds of others when it comes to the Titration test; are you addictive to it? For my pool, I have the TF-100 test kit, and I do the daily TC/PH test, with the 5 drops of each respectful liquid, but I hate the TC one. The yellows look alike, and unless you have...

Hello All, So my Pool has become crystal clear, its wonderfull. My only problem right now is Tucson Monsoon rain and Fresh plaster, are casuing PH to rise pretty rapidly. This week I had to add 15oz of MA every day it rained to drop it from 7.8 to 7.5. I am pretty sure this is just the plaster...

Thanks, My pump only had 2 settings, backwash and filter. The backwash gets pumped out of the yard through the fence so I could not monitor untill it was clear, so I backwashed for 1min each time. Seemed reasonable amount of time. Thanks for the opinion and I'll give it a go, for both ideas at...

Hi Everyone! I was hoping for some suggestions with clearing up my water. Ever since I backwashed my pool(Wednesday) it has had a slight cloudiness to it. I think the main problem came from my filter being completely clogged when I took control of the pool that monday. The PSI on the tank was...

Also its a Triton II sand filter, model though I have no idea, I couldnt see any identification on it besides the first label.

Well, I resolved it, I put some man power into the lever, crushed my finger when it went. I was tapping it with a rubber mallet at the same time on the sides to loosen it up and it went. OW, But wow now its running great, the self propelled vacuum is racing around the pool, I ran for about...

Hey Everyone, I just moved into a house with an IG Pool, the filter pressure is rather high and it needs to be flushed. When I start the pump it runs great for about 30 seconds, then pressure builds to high and flow rate drops to the point that vacuum stops running. So I read through the pool...

Thanks for all the replys and advice. The construction company has a follow up appointment next week for the pool, so I'll be able to corner someone one on one for final questions. I cant wait to get in there, get to move in on Monday. Now all I have to do is make it through this weekends work...

A quick question on the topic of floor fittings, Are Floor Inlet Fittings the right name for these items? I am finding lots of adjustable inlet fittings on several sights. Are these a press and fit, or are the inlets threaded on the floor? Can we install these things while the pool is filled...

If the pop-ups are $30bucks or so I'll try and pick some up. It is a rental unit so Im not to concerned. It would be diffrent if I really owned the pool, verse taking care of water chemistry and such. I would have pushed to have everything right from the company. But it seems they were just...

Well I got ahold of the construction company. They didnt install the bottom vents/directional jets because well, owners didnt want to fund any more and its not required for it to be functional. So Im not worried. He also explained my other question with the return flow being low, it is pushing...

Ahh, I'll contact the contractors for those then, they should have had that installed and will put them in I'm sure. Thanks for the help!

So went back to the house this morning on the way to work to test chlorine levels and take some pics. Last night I put in enough bleach in for a 15k pool to go from 0 to 4. When I retested at 7pm, the remaining chlorine had burnt off. The new reading was 5ppm, with .5CC, There were floating...

Thanks, I went out and picked up some bleach and used the calculator to bring up the FC. I set the pump on high for an hour and headed back home. I believe they filled using Tucson City Water, I saw the hose line slowly filling 2 weeks ago. I didn't write down the pump name, but it's a sand...

So, I got access to my pool today, though I dont take control of it untill monday. There is a company taking care of it untill then so im nervous throwing chemicals in. When I took the readings, the water was blue, no smell at all, some debree floating on the surface but thats not a big deal...

Well Ive been reading more and more, and I found the section on start up with plaster finishes on the pools. Now it says dont swim during start up, at all. I got the hint, but no where does it say what the start up time is. 3 weeks? 1 month? 6 months? I have talked to the construction company...

Hey Everyone! I will be moving into a new place by the end of the month and its coming with a pool! I have been reading through this sight and have found nothing but great information, and I wanted to say hi and ask for some advice for a newbie like me. First some history! Saw the place...
