    Pool wall Foam Double Up?

    I'm installing an 18ft Round and I have extra wall foam from a family member. Can I run Two courses of Foam around wall? I dont see this causing any issues, just wondering what the consensus is on this idea. Thanks

    Now we have algae in the stupid pool!

    Do you have the squeez bottle for CYA? Add 7 mils of water and then fill to 14 with CYA indicator shake for 30 seconds. Add to fill tube with black dot and when the dot dissappears look on tube at level and that's your CYA reading. That's how mine works

    Now we have algae in the stupid pool!

    I'm assuming that means. Whenever the black dot dissapeers the closer the meniscus is to whichever line is closer. If it's closer to 40 than 30 then it would be 40 But I have the Taylor k2006

    Feel so lost!

    They are gonna require test results from a good kit. Mostly likely the SLAM process and then you'll get everything balanced and have crystal clear water with 5 minutes a day work
