k, thanks :(

forgive my stupidity but you are saying that it Raises the CYA right so wouldnt it be better if my CYA was lower to start? Do you think its possible to use the pucks for a month, then use liquid for a month and alternate?

anyway, don't get caught up in all that. My question remains. Is the harm caused by using the pucks something that occurs over years or over weeks?

I'm sorry, that could have been misleading. When I say that i shocked the pool, i mean over the last two years. Basically i have been adding bleach this summer bc my SWG doesn't work anymore. I simply don't have the time to keep buying dollar general out of bleach every other weekend. I want to...

I plan on trying the pucks. I understand that they mess up the CYA but i have to try it. My question is how long does it take to mess up the CYA. Are we talking years or weeks?

I shock the pool, keep enough salt in it have the CYA correct and the chlorine still drops to 0. I have been through half a dozen shocks or so with the same result

Well ****... I'm not sure how old it is. I bought the pool last year with it. The digital reader crapped out and it just doesnt seem to generate chlorine anymore. I feel like i can maybe take it off and clean it but the way the pipes are, there is no way to get a wrench in there. i'll take a pic...

My SWG is no longer working and i've decided to just go to Chlorine rather than fix it. I have been using bleach when SLAM my pool. I don't want to constantly have to run to the pool to buy bleach. What is the cheapest and easist way to add chlorine? Are there long lasting, time -released tabs...

I guess i needed to talk it through. I got what I need, thanks for the help!

I already have this piece http://www.amazon.com/Zodiac-6-502-00-Disconnect-Universal-Replacement/dp/B004VU8U3E THis looks like what maybe i need but looks a little different than mine...

you think it's this? 27 6-502-00 ZZOD5208 Polaris Universal Wall Fitting Quick Disconnect for Polaris Vac-Sweep 60, 65, 160, 165 and Turbo Turtle Pool Cleaners http://www.poolcenter.com/p/vac-sweep-165

I"m sorry if this is hard to follow. That's kind of my problem, I can't google this. The question is basically: is the part that attaches to the pool wall the uniform? if so, what is it called and where can i get one? if not, what can i do?

Hi guys :) I had this pool cleaner http://www.epoolshop.com/hayward_phantom_pool_cleaner.aspx I hated it and just pulled it out and gave up on it. Now someone has given me this used pool cleaner http://www.polarispool.com/Pressure/Polaris-165.aspx Will I be able to use this cleaner with the...

i should raise the CYA to at least 60 right? or is it better to have it low to SLAM ?

great, off to dollar general and home depot after work! thanks

Is Calcium hardness something i should deal with now as well? it seems way off

nvm cyanuric acid

i have the 100. I am out of which ever reagent tests the chlorine though, so i took it to the store for testing - - - Updated - - - is one of those measurements 'CYA' ?

PH 7.6 Total ALk 110 Calcium hardness 50 Cyanuric acid 30 FC 3 TC 3.3 Copper, iron, mang - 0 salt 1900 The pool is starting to get a little green on the sides. I basically need it ready by next weekend for a Crawfish Boil :D

ah ok, my deep end is 10 feet. I have never put the diverter in but my main drain seems to be sucking all the time bc if there are leavesin the pool, they end up stuck to it. It doesnt look like the holes are big enough to actually suck it in. I only have one skimmer btw

is this a dumb question or something? I tried searching.....

i ran the pump about 6 hours a day all winter. the last 3 days i have been running it non-stop. (except to switch settings and stuff)

I didnt even know what this thing was until i saw it identified in another thread. Why would i want to used it? It sounds like it reduces suction on the skimmer which puts more on the main drain but why would i want to do that?

the debris is mixed in. I use my leaf blower to direct current to the skimmer for top stuff. works pretty well :D - - - Updated - - - where can I buy DE?

hey guys, my pool looks pretty good right now at a glance. But if you really inspect the water, there are tiny bits of this and that floating around. I"m talking about like 'specks' of stuff. I'm guessing its pieces of leaves but they don't seem to be filtering out. is there a trick to get the...

yea, i'm pretty sure y'all got it right. I'm pretty sure it's pollen. I have it basicallyo out of the pool now. thanks

- - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - It doesn't look like this anymore. I just vacuumed it all up

Thanks, pretty successful day vacuuming the pool. ;)

Thanks
