Never have algae problem. This year CC always at 1.0. No overnight chlorine loss. Pool is crystal clear( use borates). Reagent for CC is almost out. Is it possible the reagent is just old? I leave it inside and it’s only about a year old. When I put drops in it just gradually turns my water...

Has a burn smell and white, hard, plastic seems to have fallen off in a clump. Will try and post a picture. It was making sound like rocks were in it for about 24 hours, then stopped. It now sounds normal but the smell and the heat aren’t. I’ll try and post a pic. Thank you - - - Updated - - -

16x32 Sport Pool. New liner 24 months ago. Discovered an issue that threw tons of rainwater under the pool resulting a 8-10 wrinkles at the end of last pool season. I corrected the drainage and even lowered to water to a level that would have guaranteed either a floating liner or 1000...

I put 20 ounces in a sock, sat it in the skimmer, then proceeded to squeeze the sock for 5-10 minutes until the cya was completely dissolved. I then noticed my pumps psi went up 2 PSI. Is this okay? Since it was dissolved (milky) I don't know why my pressure went up. Thoughts?

Testing FC and read where you can use half the regular reagent when slamming. How do you do this? Do you put half the water? If so do you multiply drops by 1? Thanks

I am very much OCD and my data needs to be accurate for me to be satisfied. As a result, I just test the chlorine levels with the FAS DPD 3-4 times per week. Sometimes every day if I notice the Chlorine is changing rapidly. Every day I had approx. 32 ounces of bleach. This seems to work- I...

Ok, so last year I followed the TFP method to the letter. Great experience so this year I decided to step up my game and use DE, a skimmer sock, and BORIC ACID. I elected to go the easy route and ordered 50 lbs from Duda diesel. This is where my problem began. I estimated that I would need 30lbs...

I bought some DE and it came in a big box. After pouring some in the skimmer, diluted with water, I remembered that I forgot to remove the skimmer sock. I assumed the DE would have been captured in the sock, but every bit of it passed through the sock. Is the DE that small?

Well, my five month hibernation from all things related to the pool is over. I live in extreme S. Indiana (within a few miles of the KY state line). Normally by March the winter is over- I have seen snow in April maybe 2-3 times in the last 20 years (and it doesn't stick). My pool is covered...

When I closed the pool last winter I did not leave enough water in the pool. As a result, the water table pushed the liner up and when it settled there were a million creases. So I bought a new liner, filled the pool up with water and now we had 5 inches of rain and I'm noticing a couple...

Seem about right? Cya is 40. 15,000 gallon pool. Just seems like a lot to me. It is usually around 90 degrees outside and the pool gets full sun all day. It is used a lot also. Thx

They are coming to fix it, but can I shower it with cold water without doing damage? Thanks

I had a new liner put in and filled with fresh city water- All my numbers are good except TA- it was 190. As a result, I poured in Muriatic Acid and lowered PH to around 7.1. I aerated to bring PH back up (it's now about 7.8) and my TA is 140. Should I do this one more time to get TA down...

I am diligently following the way of this site and I have learned a lot. For example, I used to put algaecide in my pool every week and people complained about green hair. I get the savings using baking soda and borax instead of ph up, down, etc, but is adding bleach to your pool daily really...

First of all, I just had a new liner put in and refilled with municipal water. I think the company that put it in poured in stabilizer and shocked it. I brought the PH level up with baking soda and threw some chlorine tabs in the skimmer that were left over from last year. I ordered the T100...

First, I bought my home late last year. It had a pool so now I am a pool owner for the first time. It ran great all last year. Now I am finding lots of sand on the bottom. I have to vacuum nearly every day. I assume it is a lateral issue but I'm going to have to cut the plumbing pipes in...
