Thanks for the response Brushpup! And thank you for the ABS reminder. That is something I would have definitely overlooked!! Is it at all possible that the main drain could be tied into one of these other lines, or would it for sure have its own? I am just a little worried with the set up...

Howdy! I have only had a pool for one season. Thanks to this place I managed the operation side of it just fine so thanks for that! However coming out of winter I need to take care of some problems. I need to replace all the ball valves on the suction side as they are so stiff the handles...

Thank you for the info TFP Expert! And sorry, I totally misunderstood your previous post about the liquidator and stenner. I guess what I was getting at is are there alternatives to tablets that do not require additional equipment? As in a tablet that does not have cynauric acid? I am...

Apologies, you are correct. My cyanuric acid is right where I want it. My concern is I will be gone for one entire week every month so I wont be able to check levels and add bleach as necessary. Is SWG the only alternative to tablets?

Howdy! Pool newbie so apologies for the ignorance. I travel 1 week a month so I am curious if there are alternatives to the chlorine tablets. My problem with those is my CA is right where I want it so I don't want to keep adding more. I wasn't sure if there is an alternative for when I am...

I am glad you said that! They left a whole tub of those pucks and I figured I would never use them after the CA issue. You have already been a huge help, you guys rock!!! :rockon:

Copy that. For some reason I was imagining massive quantities when starting from scratch. Thank you again for all the help, I am glad this site exists!!!

I did play around with that a bit. But I am wondering with the initial set up when no chlorine has been added before if you need to have a lot.

Thanks, both of you! Great info!! Another question in the interest of preparedness and caused by ignorance. I know I wont know how much chlorine to add until I test. However since it was just filled, and if I plan on going the BBB route with liquid bleach, do I need to have like a pallet of...

It seems new, but I have to way to verify. Considering the cost to plaster, I think I will just buy a new kit. TF-100 it is! On that note, the contractor stated they will be coming to balance the water. Makes sense in my mind as they want to make sure their hard work was not wasted. However...

Thanks for the fast responses!! The previous home owner left me a newer kit made for Leslie's by Taylor. It says "Complete Chlorine DPD Test Kit" and covers the following tests: Chlorine(Free, Combined, total), Bromine, pH, Acid Demand, Base Demand, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, and CA...

Hello! Total noob so apologies for all the dumb questions. I am a first time home / pool owner, and I just had the pool re-plastered (started brushing today). I have read through pool school and must have missed this so apologies if this is already answered elsewhere. My questions is once...
