Is polyquat a brand name ? Locally I can find products that I would call a sequester ing agent but can’t seem to find polyquat in Canada? In years past before TFP I would buy a winter kit that had a non-chlorine shock, algicide, and mostly a product called Sequa sol. My water is crystal...

Fc 7 CC < .5 Ph. 7.1 TA 80 Ch. 140 CSI. -0.65 This year I have had TA and Ph on the low side and wonder if I should raise TA, Ph or Ch to get better CSI number for my vinyl pool ? CYA 30

Moved from here. FAS-DPD test question. When testing for FC I’m finding that sample turns clear at some point but with a few extra seconds or if I set sample down when I think it is clear it turns back to a light shad of pink. My reagents are several years old but seam fine? DPD powder a little...

So before TFP, I have always added to my pool water 1 L of ultra 60 by regal and 1 L of 3-Met-0. The algaecide is labeled as Poly ( oxyethylene dimethyliminio ) ethylene-( dimethyliminio ) ethylene dichloride ...60 %. The metal product does not give actual ingredients, just says it eliminates...

All my readings are fine by TFP standards except TA at 160 seems high. I have read on here that one should not target a # for TA, but am concerned that it is high and wondering if I should attempt to lower it?? My CYA is still under 20 but am working on bringing it up to 30 FC 3 CC .5 TA...

Just opening my pool pump has been running for two days slamming it with chlorine, clearing up nicely am about to brush the pool walls have been in the habit of pouring algicide around perimeter before brushing but I am now wondering if that is a waste ?? Should algicide be added to pool if no...

It is getting close to closing time, so after a couple of very sunny month's I have been testing and trying to keep water balanced with pretty good success. However I have been wondering about Alkalinity? It has been between 150-170 all month, when I read about ALK in Poolschool it says not to...

Okay so I searched this on here and found dozens of threads, however the "dead horse" was mostly about how to remove. My question is if water imbalance is what can cause liner to wrinkle, what is the bad balance? The liner is about 10-12yrs old, the large wrinkle and one other showed up when...

:confused: so all excited about the new kit arrival, when doing the chlorine test I found that counting drops to clear was a little confusing as sample would clear and no sooner than I could record # it would lean towards pink again?? so I carried on until it stayed clear???? assuming that was...

Okay!! so I'm wondering if anyone has figured out an easy way to get a TF-100 kit in Canada?? i've seen it talked about on here but it was peeps living in southern Ontario, close to the border, who were going across to get it? The only thing I can find locally is Taylor 2005, for about $200 cdn...

So what to do, TA 160, PH 7.2. If I get this right, I cannot change TA without affecting PH. Is 160 TA too high for vinyl pool ?? Would like to bring up PH

Okay! so I've been creeping this site for a while now and learning some things :>)). I have had a pool for the better part of 20 years and learn't to test my own water and generally have no problems keeping a very clear pool. I have always used granular shock and stabilized pucks, I do use...

So I will not be opening the pool this summer! It was put to bed last Sept. with clear balanced water, with non chlorine shock, sequestion agent and algecide. It is covered with a black tarp. Usually opens up with clear water. However I'm worried about leaveing it now till next summer. It will...
