you know, it's funny. I have put in two socks of CYA and it's STILL not there. I am working on raising it!

good bc I already have 2 dogs and don't need any more! During the summer i try to keep the FC at 6 or 7 bc our Very hot weather...

yes. it runs from 7 to 7 7 days a week

well, I started everything up again and stopped adding and the FC has been steady all week at 5.5 so I think we are in the clear. Thank you, everyone!

I did a search and read a 2011 post about phos in someone's pool BUT Husband was wondering if that could have anything to do with our constant high pH issues. Our FC has been stable all week at 5.5. our SWG is at 70% which I feel is high for this time of year Did a full test today and results...

There wasn’t

check and check chlorine . SWG is off

ok. couple stupid questions here. I just reread about passing the overnight test. yesterday the pool was: 4/14 8:24 a.m. 12 pH 7.8 and TA 110 5:05 p 10 10:42 p 7.5 4/15 12.5 at 8:15 am. 1 :00 same 4:25 p 11.5 10:10 p 10 4/16 7:25 a.m. 12.5 4:00 pm 8 8:30 pm 9.5 So have we passed? also the...

So this morning my CL was steady BUT my pH went right back up to 8.0 again. We just put acid in last night! The TA is 110 and it was 90 last Sunday. What the heck is the deal?

Yes, I think so. However, my CYA is NOT 30. I can still see the dot so let me add some more CYA to it. Sigh….

The CL goes up and down like a yo-yo. CYA is 20 or less. App says 10 is the slam number. Husband keeps asking me if we should make the number higher to kill it off. 4-7 4/8: FC - added 4 gal of bleach (all we had and no chems. Had to order on Amazon) our chems said there was nothing in the...

yes, it was defintely the DPD power. Wow. that was a first. Never had that stuff go bad. So after 4 bottles of 128 oz 12.5% bleach, it registers as a 3! man, I have got my work cut out for me....SWG is off. Pumps running 24/7. Will test in a couple hours to see where we are slam-wise.

yes, taht is what I ended up doing as I could not find it locally. I am anxiously awaiting its arrival so i can get this road on the show and fix my issues.

guess ya didn't catch my original post where I said I had ordered a whole fresh kit from them (they were having a sale) and the order I guess never went through ...but the guy who runs it thought maybe I was just mistaken....anyway, that will take too long. I am trying to find it locally but...

After adding 4 128 bottles of bleach, there is STILL no chlorine. I am starting to think that ny DPD powder is bad. There was verity little left from last season and it was hard. I tried to buy some yesterday but the Leslie’s near me didn’t have any. I will go this morning to get some from a...

the machine LIES. i promise. Put it through a lie detector test via the test kit mentioned above and you will see!

for the first time in 10 years, the water green - i don't mean nasty green, I mean the color when you first fill a pool from the city and you have to add bleach. it's also not as clear as it usually is (even with algae) SO i did my test and ALL the numbers but TA are abysmal. FC0 CH 450 (HOW...

I ran through several places. Why can there just not be a link that’s searchable “buy chemicals” or “test kits” or other search words. I tried them all and STILL didn’t find anything. I tried several versions. I never got my chems I ordered when there was a sale and I could not find the...

those morons told me they didn't have any when I walked in there!

leslie's doesn't carry them/

Thatreminds me of the time I was told by my uncle that he shocked my aunt’s pool once a week….bc the pool guys told him to, that the chems were “perfect” and that he had been doing it longer than I had my pool and I didn’t know anyting….P.S. her chems were terrible!

Hey there. I live near Memorial CIty. I haven’t tested the fill water lately. i did a while ago and don’t remember anything earthshattering about it. I am having trouble finding the trichlor tablets….

OH and now TFP is saying that it should not be used if the pump is off. Our pump is off every day from 7 p to 7 a.....why is this so complicated?!?

When I do a search for tricholor, I keeping getting chlorine tablets - so i looked it up. since I can't seem to delete this post, please see my post below

Ok So I read the article. What I got from it was water features, cover and aeration. A couple years ago the top of the pool was dirty...a lot. water didn't seem to be circulating so the hubs added what I guess you are calling aeration or water movement. But the pH problem ha started before...

i wish y'all woudl speak English here LOL. I have been looking for a solution to my HIGH pH for 2 years now. we are Constantly adding acid. it's Always above 7.8 or higher.it wasn't always a problem, just the last couple, three years. We are about to go out of town and i posted elsewhere...

So someone here recommended that I use tablets of trichlor to lower my pH and put it in my pool as a floater. HOWEVER, when I was trying to hunt them down, it says they are not recommended for pebble tec or COLORED pools. My pool is a pebble tec like substance and it's BLUE plaster. Someone...

My husband finally fixed it. There was ONE poster here who had the exact same problem - it was a flow sensor! $100 part vs. 750 for a new SWG! Go husband! Anyway, it’s been a week now and the thing is on every day generating so well, I actually turned it down!

Hey Dallas person! Your pool and mine are the same size and right now my pool is 93.6 - highest it’s been in …well ever! We are going on vacation too , I do have a SWG so I am going to take the advice and pump it up some to cover myself. I would definitely consider a SWG. My nemesis is not...
