Not sure if this is the right forum, but... The pool temp reading on my EasyTouch 4 is 150 degrees F. Where would the pool water sensor be, and why would it be reading so high? The heater is not on, and the water is cold. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for your input. Lesson learned. Splashless was all the store had on the shelf. I'm going to exchange the rest of what I bought right now.

I used "splashless" bleach which apparently has an unlisted additive to soften the flow. Now I have suds in my pool. Any advice?

Will my infloor cleaner work to "vacuum" it, or should I manually vac?

Backwashing DE filter. Son turned on infloor cleaners and filter while putting new DE into skimmer. Now, DE in pool. What do I do?

I have the TF-100. So, how do I know I've gotten the FC to shock level? Just by the amount of bleach I add?

I want to shock my pool because, yesterday, the TC was at zero after a huge storm and two days away from home. I added chlorine (bleach) last evening, and this morning here are my quick numbers: FC 3.0 CC 0 TC 3.0 pH 7.4 TA 70 CH 300 CYA 50 Tha chlorine/CYA chart gives me a shock FC between 16...

Thanks for your advice. Gives me confidence going forward. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.

Oops, made a mistake. FC has been 2 to 3. CC has always been 0, the few times I've tested for CC. Still shock?

How does your water look? clear and sparkling What is your FC goal you wish to maintain? at least 3.0 What is the CYA goal you wish to maintain? not sure What target pH are you shooting for? 7.6 Have cc's tested 1.0 or greater anytime before this test? A few times, it tested 2.0 to 3.0. I'm...

Can't seem to get FC over 2.0.

New inground pool, pebblesheen finish, filled and running for 3 months. Inline chlorinator, trichlor tablets, plus ClearO3 ozonator. I can't seem to get the over 2.0. Current numbers (TF100): FC 1.0 TC 1.0 pH 8.0 TA 140 CH 260 CYA 40 Pool Calculator recommends 68 oz. bleach and 23 oz. MA...

Thanks for your recommendations. Muchas gracias.

My new pool has been filled and running for 5 weeks. We're currently using inline chlorinator, trichlor tablets, but plan to start using bleach. Using TF-100: FC 2.5 CC 0 pH 8.0 TA 130 CH 425-440 (Yikes. Tested twice...once with 25 ml sample; once with 10 mL sample) CYA 25 (let sample warm to...

Where did you get your pavers? Your original post said tumbled travertine cement pavers in front. Are the front pavers different than your pool deck pavers?

Thanks. That's what I needed to know. Do you use bleach and trichlor together at the same time, or do you switch between them?

Thanks for the replies. And many thanks, paulr, for the link to water testing instructions. Exactly what I needed.

I know I need to post test results and pool specs (which I will, soon). If we use bleach, instead of tablets, do we just leave the inline chlorinator empty?

I have a brand new pool with an inline chlorinator made for 3" trichlor tablets. I've just learned in pool school that I should use liquid bleach instead. So, how do I switch from tablets to bleach? (I'm sure it's an obvious answer, but it's not obvious to me.) Thanks.

In a new build, what is the cost, ballpark, to "upgrade" to saltwater? Is there anything besides the actual SWG and the control that are different?
