I am re-familiarizing myself with the process of keeping the chemical levels correct in my Sundance spa. During the last water change I went ahead and purchased a new Clearray bulb (and cleaned the tube it sits in). The manual mentions changing the bulb once a year. I also change the Mineral...

Purchased a new Sundance spa two years ago and have relied on the forum for water balance. Noticed that all 3 of the headrests are being affected by the chemicals or is it normal for them to go bad after just a couple of years? Whenever I add bleach I leave the spa uncovered for 5-10 minutes to...

Hi all, We had a pool built last Winter and about half way through our swim season I noticed a few small black spots in the bottom of our pool and one up near the tile near the water line. There are 3-4 spots and in Summer I could scrub them with a brass brush and get about half of the black to...

Hello, We just finished our in ground pool about 3 weeks ago and our pool builder hired a company to do the chemical startup. The chemical startup company told me that the warranty on the Intellichem system would be void if the CYA level goes over 35? According to the Pool School Recommended...

I was having low FC readings and posted my test #'s yesterday to get some feedback. My CYA was at 35 so it was recommended that I switch to liquid Chlorox bleach. I made a late night run to the store to get the bleach and ended up with 'splash-less' thinking that the splash less was just a...

I'm a new spa owner, purchased a Sundance spa that was on display at a home show and the spa has 'clearray' purification system. We've had the spa approx. 4 weeks and I am constantly finding 0 fc readings. I have had a salt water pool in the past, so I am somewhat familiar with the chemical...

I have had a problem with my pool basically since it was built 5 years ago. The problem is the pool looked great all winter, I keep the filter running and all chemical levels at TFP recommended levels (greatly appreciate this site) throughout the winter, and I pay especially close attention to...

I switched over to swg this last Summer and have been really happy with the results. Due to cold weather and cold water temps this Winter, I noticed that on my remote it says swg not working due to low temperatures. I checked my FC level and it was down to 1.5 ppm (I normally run it around 5...

Topic Split off by Moderator I recently had our pool re-done completely. It is a sculpted cement pool (looks like natural rock) and also re-did the floor of the pool also with a plaster similar to pebbletec. The remodel was completed about 3 months ago and I also converted to a SWG at that...

I have been dealing with this issue for the last two years (on and off). Our pool is going on our 3rd Summer and the first year was great. Ever since I have had some black algae issues and luckily with all the good info that I read here on the forum, I finally got a handle on it (black algae)...

I am in the process of shocking my pool due to black algae issues, and am running my filter 24/7. It occurred to me that because we are having hot weather and I am not currently using our solar heating system that maybe I should turn the system on at least to flush it out. Our solar panels are...
