My better half snuck a jug of this in on me and I used it last night. Noticed foam this morning. Just got around to looking here. So I will gently notify her of this spill less issue and attempt to correct. Fortunately, we have some rain in the forecast so I my be able to backflush a bit...

I feel like a seasoned veteran. We've been swimming trouble free for some time now. Getting ready to learn the touch of borates...

Got thinngs somewhat together. Moving is hard on the back. Still not done. I'll pay someone next time. Moving seemed easier a few years ago. Tested fc this morning around 2am after some Friday night Saturday morning shenanigans... We hit 24 at one point and last check was 20. CC's are 0...

I really like you guys already. We should have a meet n greet sometime. Don't apologize for being a bulldog. I appreciate it. Learned my best lessons that way. That and by getting a hard knock or two. No need for details. I was young. I got it. Chlorine. We got a metric ton of it...

Got to the house last night and tested ph and cl on the quick test. Cl showed about 2 and ph was still 8. So I dumped 1qt muriatic and went to mickey D's. They didn't give me all my food but we had already gotten back to the house. You just can't rely on common hourly help anymore. Some of...

Thanks all for the feedback! If any of you are ever passing by (my) neck of the woods - drinks are on me. PaulR, you are correct - I read the calculator incorrectly. I will test TA again but I'm fairly sure it is in the neighborhood of 220. I will follow your recommendation of going slow on...

I missed that cya chart. I see my target should be around 8 on chlorine with a cya of 75. I'll just add the rest of the liqui shock and test chlorine after. I also see that borax is to raise ph not lower it so we'll get some muriatic somewhere. I won't drain anything until I see the ph...

I've got some ideas and want to run them by you experienced folks. Just closed on the house today. Was all excited to go swimming right after but tested the water first with the TF 1000 kit. The water is a little cloudy and vinyl is stained a bit. No stains, or no stains on the bottom and...

Thanks folks. duraleigh, I'm renting in Fuquay until end of July. Just saw the kit is heading out now. I might take a ride up your way to get refills. Even from Mebane, gas will probably be cheaper than shipping. But it's all good either way. I'm a penny pincher at heart. Butterfly...

Hiya, Closing out a house July 15. Been reading up here. Just ordered a TF100 tester. They actually ship out of Creedmore NC and that's not terribly far. Had it shipped to the house though anyways. Pool specs in the siggy... Looking forward to the first water test and trying BBB. Then...
