More info, the weather has only been hot here for about two days. The thermometer is broken, but my best guess is that the pool temp is around 70-75

That was a very important part that I left out. :oops: The code displaying is 91 (low salt, dirt or scale on titanium plates-I cleaned this, electrolytic cell failure), but there must be plenty of salt (260 lbs). - - - Updated - - - Are you sure about this? Isn't this a crucial part of...

I have an intex sand SWP, which is exactly two years old. I just filled a new intex ultraframe pool (the last one fell apart). I put the requested amount of salt in it (260 lbs), and the pump has been running for 10 hours a day, for about 4 days. The other chemical levels (including cyanuric...

Got it! Thank you. As you can see (or may have guessed) I am opening my pool for the first time this year, and it needs to be SLAMed. ;) - - - Updated - - - Perfect! Thank you again!

My question is in regards to two different chlorine tests. When I was referring to the pale yellow, I was speaking about the total chlorine... the one that uses the R-0600 drops. I know the pale yellow still indicates a problem... too low of chlorine. I am currently working on SLAMing my pool...

I use the TF-100 test kit. Whenever I am testing for chlorine, whether it's free or total, I have noticed that as it sits it reads a higher level. In other words, when I first drop the 5 drops of test in the tube it is pale yellow, within as little as 10-15 seconds it is brighter yellow (or, is...

pooldv Oh. Thank you. I will buy some borax. ;) Azgirl71 Thank you for showing me the comparison! I will likely continue to use the pool pal app, as it's easier to take my phone outside than my computer.

Hello! First time opening a pool. Also, first time attempting to balance chemicals using the TF-100 test kit plus the Pool Pal mobile app. I have quite a few questions (the questions are highlighted in blue), so thank you so so much, in advance, for any help with the following.... I have...

Thank you so much for responding. Things have improved, but I still have questions. My responses are in green. ;) Once again, thank you for you help. Do you think I'm on the way to recovery, even though the water is a little foggy, and the levels next to the :fish:?

I'm a total newb... so you can take my advice with a grain of salt, or sediment, or whatever... This is something that I struggled with, and came up with a 'helpful' solution. I simply use a lady's (or men's, doesn't matter) trouser sock INSTEAD of the vacuum pouch thing that the vacuum came...

Hi. This is my very first pool (that I am attempting to service myself) and my very first post on any forum. Please bear with me and my extreme lack of knowledge. :confused: I own a 10K gallon vinyl Intex pool. I use a saltwater filtration system. 1-My pool has been inundated with TONS of oak...
