Hi TFP: Does anyone in Ontario know where I could purchase Borate Test Strips? I've tried TFTKits but it doesn't appear they will ship to Canada. Also checked out a link to Apollo Piscines and that page no longer exists (so assuming they are no more). Any help appreciated (Amazon is Sold...

Many thanks to the folks here at TFP. I have successfully rewired my Hayward P4 to allow me to manage my Filter time, Heater and lights (thanks Jblizzle). Yesterday my readings at 6 pm were: The pool was off for most of the day while I rewired and then I programmed the filter to run that...

Just snapped a bunch of PVC I had hanging around in the garage. Guess I'll need to pick up a 45 (for now using a 45 abs - which is that black piece) Inspired by Rangeball's aerator (which is much slicker I must say) Has anyone tried to create a venturi version? :eek:

Hi Folks; I have been slowly adding borates to my SWG and will continue this weekend. Right now at 10 ppm. My latest readings have been pretty consistent. pH is very stable. Although today I noticed my CC level (0.5 ppm) I did a search here and figured this is not a biggy right now. Can I...

For my CAN brothers: My local PS wanted $17.99 for 4L of Muriatic Acid. I found the same at Home Hardware http://www.homehardware.ca/en/rec/index.htm/Paint-D%C3%A9cor/Surface-Preparation/Cleaners/4L-Muriatic-Acid/_/N-2pqfZ67l/Ne-67n/Ntk-All_EN/R-I1620847?Ntt=muriatic+acid Which is the same 20...

Hi Guys: Having lots of fun working with my new chemistry hobby. We've had ALOT of rain recently and I have been working to control my PH, TA and CYA. I think I've got most numbers in range. FC 6 pH 7.6 TA 70 CH 260 CYA 80 Salt 3200 Have my jets turned up to see if I can raise the pH to 7.8...

FC 6.0 pH 7.6 TA 120 CH 250 CYA 70 CC 0 CSI -0.13 If CC is zero is that an issue? Pool math says I'm balanced. Although given how fast the beers are disappearing I question that. H

After reading a number of posts and recommendations I came to the conclusion that setting my TA first would be a good place to start. Before joining TFP I would have my water tested at the pool store. They use a new system that they fill a little plastic disc and then it spins for a bit and...
