    New in-ground pool - Boston, MA. Lots of pics

    Your pool is so ugly. You should take it all down and package it up and ship it to me in Texas. ;-). Love seeing the pictures. Either your camera it getting better or the pool more beautiful man. It looks great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pool has been up, finally have TF-100

    My PH was high off the charts, I lowered it with muratic to do my slam and keep it within desired levels. The only reason my FC is high is because of my slam. The algae is not an issue now nor is the slime. It was before I did the slam. I was having an issue keeping the FC up but I also had no...

    Yes I could always see a quarter doing that. I never lost the ability to see that. The water has always had the clarity but would get the slimy liner and algae here and there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pool has been up, finally have TF-100

    Ok so I have been doing my best to stay on top of the SLAM and I believe I have done it!!! I have tested as much as I could, added bleach as much as possible and added a little more when I know I wouldn't be able to be on top of it (I go to college full time at night). Here are my tests this...

    Pool has been up, finally have TF-100

    Before I try to raise my CYA up to my SWG levels should I do a complete SLAM first or should I get my CYA levels right first? Added my Muratic and my PH seems to be pretty close to the 7.5 that pool math said it would be. Man I was scared of that stuff lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pool has been up, finally have TF-100

    Yes thank you I saw that but seeing where I need to go with my CYA and how high my PH is I think I will be safe to dose based on my pool being 8.2 even though I'm sure it's above. My SWG I believe will raise the ph a little once it runs. I'll add muratic based on 8.2 and test from there. If...

    Ok got my cya hanging and unplugged my copper and shut off my SWG. Should I get the PH where it needs to be now or wait on the cya to do some work first? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pool has been up, finally have TF-100

    Thank you for the links to the cheat sheets it makes it a bit easier. You said shoot for a CYA of 40 but shouldn't it be higher according to the cheat sheets? I was thinking it needed to be like 70? So I'll grab 4lbs of stabilizer this weekend and get to work on the cya. In the meantime...

    My findings on how not all sand is created equal

    I spoke with tony and he has seen this thread and he also agreed it was most likely a quality control issue with our local plant. He is on top of the issue as far as I'm concerned and I don't have an issue with quikrete or their product just the particular sand that I purchased. As I stated...

    The smaller particles won't stay in the filter. They blow out of the holes in the laterals and into your pool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My findings on how not all sand is created equal

    I just got off the phone with Tony from QUIKRETE. He made me wait like 2 minutes because he was unable to answer his phone because he had to eat lunch (go figure lol). He basically said what I suspected. The sand that I purchased is from a production batch that for reasons that might not ever...

    I have had the usual little fine bits that are expected to wash through as it cleans but nothing at all like I had before so I am happy as well with the 150#'s of HTH I have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My findings on how not all sand is created equal

    Yes just like with my fish tanks some people are able to get aragonite based sand as play sand where all I can get is silica based. It just depends on the local sand. I'm sure the pallets that we have local here of pool sand were just not graded correctly and I'm hoping they make it right. I'm...
