    Fine Dirt on Bottom of Pool

    I setup the pool this past Sunday so the filter is new, I will check it tonight but the return flow is strong. As for the filter with "Dots", I don't know, my filters are from Walmart, they only have one style in stock where I live (NJ), again I will check that when I get home tonight... The...

    Fine Dirt on Bottom of Pool

    I am using the Walmart Type A cartridges, they have pleats in them but not sure about the "dots". Perhaps I need to try rigging up some type of vaccum to see if by sucking up the dirt directly into the filter it removes it or is it so fine that it is just passing through the filter.

    Fine Dirt on Bottom of Pool

    I have only one water outlet approx 4 feet to the left of the inlet, it has a nozzle with a small amount of adjustment. I have turned the nozzle all the way to the left in an effort to circulate the water around the pool but this does not seem to help.

    Fine Dirt on Bottom of Pool

    Bring my borate to 50ppm

    I would like to bring my borate to 50ppm as desribed earlier. Since I already added some borax to get my PH and TA inline, should I include that amount in my overall calculation to reach the 50ppm level? I would think so, but don't want to screw it up. As an FYI my current levels are: TC: 5...

    Free Pool Test Tracking Software!

    That is funny, I AM an IT guy and I am still trying to figure it out. Doesn't seem like the DOS window is openning for me. Still trying to determine which processes it spawns so I can kill they in Taskmanager. Oh well, I still have my trusty logbook...

    Free Pool Test Tracking Software!

    Hi, new to form. I downloaded the program and installed it on an XP machine. When I try to run the SW, the splash screen shows up then disappears. Something is running in the background cause when I try to run the program again it tells me it is already running. However, there is nothing in...
