    Drained and refilled pool

    I drained and refilled my pool two weeks ago to fix an astronomically high CH. Here are my most recent test results. I know some parameters are off, but I can’t help notice my CSI is borderline perfect. Should I let it be? Or should I fix my CH, TA, and PH. My fill-water CH is about 50 because...

    Solar Sun Shock

    Just heard about this device and am wondering if anyone is using it and what their thoughts are. So far from what I’ve read, seems like a great way to save on chlorine. Remington Solar Chlorine-Free Sun Shock Pool Ionizer Remington Solar 29000 Gal Pebble tech, spill-over spa, magnasweep...

    Scaling

    So I moved into a new house with new pool. They obviously didn’t use TFP. I’ve got my chemistry good I think so I’m wondering if the scaling that’s already there will eventually go away now that my CSI is in range. Any knowledge on that? 29000 Gal Pebble tech, spill-over spa, magnasweep...

    New Pool

    Hello experts! Just moved and now have a larger more complex pool to learn. Here are my first test results. Is there anything I need to adjust? I feel my stabilizer is way too high, like off the charts and had to interpolate. Thx. 29000 Gal, cartridge filter, Hasa liquidator. 12000 Gal...

    PH hangs around 8.0

    Without doing anything my PH tends to hover around 8.0. Ideally, I realize I should bring it down to 7.4-7.8. However my CSI is well within recommended range. Question is should I just leave it all alone and accept the slightly yet naturally high PH or work to bring it down. Latest results. No...

    For those with a Hasa Liquidator

    So I’ve installed a Hasa liquidator and I am pretty happy with it. It is automatically administering chlorine into my pool like I hoped making my life easier. However my question is, is the amount of chlorine administered depending upon how much chlorine I poured into the liquidator...

    Taylor FAS DPD

    Just wondering when using this test, and you’re using the dropwise bottle, do you stop dropping at the first moment of color change or add one or two more drops to get the full color? Thx

    Pool Math CSI vs. Taylor watergram CSI

    Not sure why there’s such a huge margin between CSIs calculated on the app vs using the Taylor wheel. App. 0.16 Wheel. 0.35 (I like this one better) CH 240 TA 90 PH 7.9 Temp 84

    Jets

    Was just wondering what the best position is for my jets. Should I turn them up for aeration? Right now I have them all same direction creating a current. 12500 gal pebble tech. PH 7.2,

    The right chlorine tablet

    I’ve recently discovered the difference between stabilized and non-stabilized chlorine. Most of what’s out there is stabilized, sun protected chlorine. What’s the best kind of non-stabilized chlorine that will not raise my CYA levels?

    Phosphates??

    Just had my water tested at Leslies (getting my own test kit soon) and found out I have phosphates at 100 ppm. Is that a problem? how do I bring it down?

    SWG acceptable levels

    So my salt cell wasn't calibrated and gave me an extremely low read out on my salt level. With that, I added salt. My new SWG and Leslies said I have a salt level of 5000ppm. Is keeping this level (cuz I don't want to drain 33% of my pool) acceptable? Or should I drain it?

    TA, PH, problems.

    My TA is off the charts of the test strip which tops out at 240ppm. So that needs to come down obviously. My PH is also high, 8.4. Not sure whats driving it up so high; rain? leaves? dead bugs? What's the best way to bring them down? A bunch of Muriatic Acid? Can I dump about 3 gallons in...
