Hello All, Been at our house 2 years and inherited an older pool. According to the step, it was made by "Walnut Pools". Some work to update it is in our future, but until then, it holds water and cools us off. There are a few things about this pool that I don't know what they are or what...

No Salt Water Generator. Thanks for the reply Brian. Would I increase as the temperature increase outside? What would I see in testing changes that might key me into needing to increase pump run time?

Hello! As part of an energy upgrade, our pool pump was replaced to a variable speed pump. The installers configured it to the utility company's recommendation, but I don't have confidence that is what it should be. From what I can tell, it turns on at full speed at about 10am for two hours...

Thank you! That's what I figured. I'll mess around with it. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Just bought a new home (to us) and inherited a pool. Working on getting all the chemistry balanced and going well. Have a Hayward navigator pool cleaner and this contraption was attached to where the hose plugs into the skimmer. Seems the valve would open to prevent all the water from being...

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot in the morning.

I'm a convert. I've switched to liquid chlorine from pucks and slammed my pool effectively once. The water has never looked as beautiful. However, my PH is pretty high right now. Here are my readings from today: CL - 6.5 (added some this morning) PH - 8.2 TA - 90 CH - 340 CYA - 38 I should...

Hey all, First off I must say I love this forum. Just found it a few days ago and have been spending a ton of time here. Stopped an algae bloom and the water is beginning to look better than it has all season. I recently got a hayward ecostar installed by leslie's. They configured it but...

Definitely seen an improvement. Here are some pics: Can totally see all the way to the bottom. Since I can only measure up to 5.0 of FC, I'm just ensuring it is much more pink than the 5.0 reading. I am going to vacuum to waste and backwash again to get all the "stuff" off the...

I appreciate that. I did use 26k gallons when using the pool calculator. I plan on doing some more detaiked measurements to get more accurate.

The good news is the pool is a beautiful blue (although very cloudy) this morning. I don't see any more green. My CYA yesterday afternoon (from Leslie's Water Analysis) was 60. I had to add a good amount of water to the pool yesterday, so CYA may have dropped. I added enough liquid chlorine...

I liked your analogy Richard! I had some liquid chlorine on hand and after backwashing have added 4 gallons based on the pool calculator. I'm willing to invest (waste) a little bit of $$ in order to avoid having to wait until I get the TF-100 kit to lower the risk of not having it ready for...

You were right. I couldn't find either the K-2006 or Leslie's rebadged brand in stock anywhere. I'll am ordering the TF-100 today, and hoping it will be here Monday. I went to the pool store to at least get a water analysis and here is what I got: FC - 3.0 CYA - 60 TA - 110 PH - 7.6 (Don't...

Thanks Linen, I thought I read the Leslie's FAS-DPD kit was just a rebadged Taylor K-2006. I'm sure I could find a Talyor K-2006 at another pool store if I hunt a bit, but would like to get the TFT-100 with the speed stir thing. My main question is, if I go for the TFT-100, what can I do to...

Hello all, I've been dealing with Algae quite a bit this season and went on vacation last week and returned to the worst so far. I've been going through pool school and intend to SLAM the pool. However I don't have a good test kit. From what I've read, the TFT-100 is preferred, but I don't...
