    Raised Alkalinity now I can't drop my PH below 7.8?

    Oops, sorry I was mixing up dichlor with Cal-hypo. The 1lb bags are cal-hypo. Ahh gothca, CYA. Thanks! I'm testing with an calibrated electronic multi-sensor that I got to initially get an idea of my salt and quick PH readings. When I test it I also still test with the TF-100. Just to...

    Raised Alkalinity now I can't drop my PH below 7.8?

    Thanks for the advice and input! Will fill out my signature. I have a TF100 test kit. (I recently added the salt portion as well and have the insta borate strips) I use mostly liquid chlorine (Walmart Pool Essentials 10%) and occasionally di-chlor 1lb bags (costco had a great sale and it adds...

    Raised Alkalinity now I can't drop my PH below 7.8?

    Hi all, I've added 72 ounces of Muriatic acid over the last 3 nights into my 23.5K gallon gunite pool, but somehow my PH hasn't dropped! I've recently had a slightly low alkalinity around 30ppm. I've always been able to add 31.45% muriatic acid at the indicated amounts on the PoolMath app, and...

    Deck Chlorinator

    Thanks! Yes that warranty is definitely still nice to have! I just wish they were more clear about the pro-rated aspect on the actual product page. Their products definitely appear to be very competitive and I'm honestly not very interested in the big names due to price but these seem like a...

    Deck Chlorinator

    Thanks! Yes I hadn't realized that my normal liquid chlorine was also adding salt! I was looking into circupool core35 or core55 products, but I had a hard time finding any details regarding what appears to be an amazing 8 year warranty. Sadly when I finally found the small print I realized...

    Deck Chlorinator

    Yes I would be interested as well. I always though SWG was not possible, but I recently replaced my pump housing and motor which made me realize a SWG would be a super easy install and after using about $500-$1500 in LC each year, it seems like a complete no brainer. How much will my muriatic...

    Stripped Nut Insert

    @JamesW I have this exact issue with a "loose" bolt anchor in my pump basket housing. Your link to this part is extremely helpful! But I'm not clear on how to remove the old housing. Is it screwed in much like this replacement tap, or is it somehow secured some other way where heating should...

    Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine

    Interesting, our HomeDepot in the DFW area always seems to be very expensive. $4.50 and up for 1 gallon of 10%. I tried it once and it must have been very old since it was less effective than normal bleach.

    Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine

    I've been buying Costco and Sams Club Clorox concentrated 8.25% bleach for the past 2 years for around $3 per 121 ounce bottle. Just recently I noticed it was switched to the 6% Clorox at both stores, and the price hasn't changed. Did anyone else notice this change? One specific Walmart has 10%...

    Bleach Prices 2015

    I tried Ace Hardware here in the DFW area today (Grand Prairie) and it was $5.99 per gallon of 10% HTH Liquid Chlorine. I then called 3 different pool supply stores/companies and all told me I won't find liquid chlorine in Texas. 2 of those companies claimed it wasn't allowed to be sold and...
