Never experienced this before: what causes PH to drop so low. Cl. 6 TA. 75 PH. Well below 6:8 i assume CA. 300 CYA. 40

Trying to find one that will work for me!

Since Clorox changed their formula, I’m looking at linguistics coloring from Home Depot. I took this picture of their current stock.

The Saturday before Christmas, or 14 year old Llaso Apso slipped into the pool and slid below the solar cover. Nobody knew it happened until I found him later. I am seriously considering removing mine as it could have done the same thing to another pet or my grandson although he is not...

So, 2nd year in a row my cya has dropped considerably over the winter. In October it was 60. Now it's below 20. FC. 7 Cc. 0 Ph. 7.4 TA. 75 Ca. 300 Cya 30 or less I keep a solar cover on all winter. Where is my cya going? With all the rain I have only drained 2" off the pool...

My controller is full of rain water and the menu button no longer work. I'm hoping when it dries out, it will live again. If not, what is a good option for replacing it? I dont need any of the fancy smart phone types.

My son is in the process of getting quotes for a pool. He has quotes from two pool builders that both come with an ozone generator. Other than reading from here in passing I know hardly anything about them other than I dont need one. Can someone give a list of the cons of having one...

Will the #2 tubes fit in the MPHP5 pump with #1 tubes? It's been about a year I guess and I should think about replacing them. What's the flow on the #2's? Not much info on Lockes website.

Last season, some swimmers said they tasted salt in the water. I've bought a Tayler salt kit and used it yesterday. Not sure about the exact salmon color they are looking for. If I'm close on my drops, I'm guessing 1200 ppm. Also what should the salt level be for a non-swg pool?

I can't seem to find it for a t-shirt.

So I got to test the Stenner while out of town for four days. Pump is a 5gpd running three hours a day with a cya of 70. Got home from DC yesterday and ran my numbers and found an FC of 3. Any ideas.? I had been running the pump from 8am to 11 am. I thought maybe it was going in so slow...

Is this what I need AutoPilot 75004 Stenner Pump/Tank 120V/60Hz - 15Gal Tank?

I want to remove the old wood decking and replace with composite. With all the pros and cons, anybody have a preference? With the pool nearby, I don't want something slippery.

Is there a way to have posts with unread posts come to the top each time? I gone thru every menu and can't find an option for it.

Actually the rain is having a major affect on my pool. My new TFP method is called rain and drain. Every afternoon I drain 4 inches of water off. Every night it fills back up to the top of the flagstone. I've proably taken 20 inches off in the last 2 months. My numbers run all over the...

I was trying to show my brother why he can't keep chlorine in his pool and hit a brickwall. He has been using shock and tabs for two years. I expected his cya to be off the charts. I ran CYA and it shows 0. This pool is 8400 gallon vinyl, above ground pool. I can understand now why he has...

just got home from vacation and went to add bleach. Instead, I dumped about a cup of used motor oil in the pool. HELP!! pool calculator doesn't mention this additive. Save the picking on me till the real answers come in, then I'm open for the abuse. thanks

I am having to adjust my PH once a week I think due to my bubbler on the top step. My pool is kidney shaped with a lump on the side where the stairs are. PB told me the grand kids would love it, and they do. But, I think they added it to keep the water moving around the corner. My question...

I will need to use pucks for a week while we are gone. CYA is currently at 50. Any guess as to how many pucks I will need to keep my minimum of FC 4? I will also be trying to up my CYA to 60.

Current numbers: FC. 2.5 CC. .5 (could this be from 50 june bugs in the skimmer?) PH. 7.8 TA. 90 CH. 240 CYA. 50 Water temp 88 and sparkly. Added 75oz for a target of 6. Will recheck in 30 minutes. I know my minimum should be 4. But in this heat I can not, so far, hold that. Pool...

So the targets are preset in the calculator. Since I don't know what part of the country these numbers are based on, should 100+ summers in Texas possibly have different targets? Texans speak up!!! Or anybody with hot weather and full sun. I would even except Okies opinions.

Any idea where to find a good outdoor ceiling fan that won't droop like a limp banana in the weather?

I can understand why a chemical store wouldn't want you to know about TFP. Kinda like a crack dealer handing out flyers for the local rehab. But I would think a builder would want a happy customer and good PR for future business.

After my last trip to Leslies. They tested my water because I accidently let my inline run out of tabs and the water was cloudy. They said my cya was 90 and my calcium was low. Chlorine was non existent. TA and PH were fine. While sweeping the steps i noticed a light dusting of what I'm...

I want to get started right and i'm already lost. The pool is only two weeks old and I don't understand the inline chlorinator. I currently have it set on 4 1/2 with 3 three inch tabs. I cant seem to get the FC up to 1 without shocking. Any guesses? Add more tabs? crank it to 5? Thanks for...
