Thanks for your help. I will do that.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm aware that a lot of suction was applied to the fittings as that was my intent to try to find the leak allowing air to enter the pump. It seems like the installer who put my pool plumbing together saw a need to plumb it in a way that enabled all three of the valves...

I am seeing an air pocket in the clear plastic pump basket lid. When I move both skimmer and floor drain towards the closed position I see a large volume of air bubbles accumulate. I never run in this configuration, just did this to test for suction leaks. Can anyone explain a probable cause and...

Just retested the CYA and it came up to 40 and the Ph rose also to 7.8. I have a son that runs an electroplating business and I was explaining the benefits of boric acid in pool water. They use a technical grade of boric acid as a buffer in a nickel plating bath. I am considering using it in...

Finally had time to do a complete water analysis on our pool today and these are the numbers: Free chlorine: 3ppm CC: 0ppm Total: 3ppm T/A: 60 Calcium hardness: 360 CYA: 30/35 Ph...

After reading a lot of the posts on this site, I sure wish I had found you guys sooner! I can also agree with your philosophy of doing you own testing. I had a sample tested by two different places a few weeks ago and they couldn't agree on anything except the pH! I ran my pool tests yesterday...

I use a TF-100 and will do a full set of tests tomorrow and post the results. I do, in fact, realize the ph is driven up by the activity of the SWG but also realize that the rapid ph rise may be caused by other factors. I have also looked into adding boric acid to around 40-50 ppm. I'll know...

Hi all, My name is Jack and I've had an inground vinyl pool for 15+years in Meadville, Pa. We moved to The Villages, Florida a few years ago to a new home that has a concrete pool. It's small size (5,300 gal.)is a bigger challenge to keep balanced than our previous (26,000 gal.)pool in Pa. This...
