I've probably seen them...didn't remember them. I'll test again when I test ph here in a little bit.

MA in. Will re-test in an hour. Calcium test...10ml of water. 10 drops of R-10 and mixed. 3 drops of R-11 and mix. It was barely pink. R-12 one drop at a time and mixed. Turned clear at 11. Stopped at 20. I've tested 3 times and all similar results. As far as SWG goes, I have it set at...

Oh! I thought I read ph needed to be 10. Nm. I just remembered it should be FC. Water temp is still 72. I retested CH. still nothing. Wth?

After 8.5 inches of rain, I could finally test my water this morning. What a mess! Not as bad as I expected, but still messy. ph-off the chart 8.2+ FC-5.5 CC-0 TC-5.5 CH- 11 drops the water turned clear. It never changed at 20 drops....not even flashing color. I gave up. I tested...

You guys rock! So I guess I need to do this. Lol. Seeing as how I have no idea when precious owner did. That will be my project for the weekend.

thank you! This is what I was looking for! I have not touched any of my equipment. I don't know how, or how often, to do the filter.

I like easy! My robot's name is Rosie...just like The Jetsons. Lmao!

I thought the freeze protection would kick the pumps on. I'm in Arlington. I know it could freeze, but what the hey.

Hey all. This is my first year with a pool and I was on here for help with the water balance. I've pretty much got that under control. After reading a lot lot on here, I've decided not to close the pool. However, I'm sure there are things I need to do with the equipment anyway. i have...

Thanks Kim! I don't think I'm going to tackle that until October. I've been keeping an eye on the pressure and making sure everything looks ok. Unless something goes wonky, I'm only dealing with chemicals for now.

LOL Kim. I have not even begun to attempt the filter. Roflmao. I know it needs to be cleaned probably twice a year. Our yard is not real dirty. Beyond that....not a clue! - - - Updated - - - The TA fluctuating doesn't really bother me as long as my ph, FC, and CYA are in alignment...

Ok. I THINK I've got my pool figured out as far as what it likes and wants. I'm a numbers nerd, so I took all my results from the last month and it seems the results tell me this. My pool sits in the full sun for about 8 hours a day. I run the pump and waterfall on high for 4 hours a day...

I use a plastic spoon. I do not have the speedstir although I am seriously thinking about getting one. i tested my CH again today outside like I've been doing all along. It was 220. Clearly the lighting made a huge difference.

thats a trick question for me. Lol. Whatever the TF-100 recommends....10ml I think. I don't have it in front of me right now.

I have never tested my fill water and the CH test drives me nuts. I add drops until I no longer see a change and then subtract one. the only thing I did different today was tested inside. Maybe the lighting was off enough to throw me. I'll re-test tomorrow outside like I have been previously.

Hey all. I'm fairly new here, but was asked to post a new thread. ive been testing my water for about a month and CH has always been between 180 and 250. Today, I got 75. I re-tested twice to make sure. here are my full results. ph 7.6 FC 4 CC 0 TC 4 CH. 75 (what the heck? How did it go...

I'm pretty sure it's evaporation. I checked everything I could think of and no leaks that I can tell. The pool is in full sun from 8am to 4pm. It makes sense it's evaporation.

Ok. new test results ph 7.6 CYA 60 I'm getting closer, and I'm starting to get the hang of this stuff! :) - - - Updated - - - By the way, these are the numbers I've been targeting. with SWG FC 3-5 (See chart) pH 7.6-7.8 TA 60-80 CH 300-400 CYA 70-80 What do I do about my CH? It's...

Ok. Pool is almost halfway to skimmer....close enough for now. I just tested the water. ph 8.2 FC 4 CC 0 TC 4 CH. 75 (what the heck? How did it go from 220 to 75 in a couple of days?) TA 120 CYA 40 heres my plan. 22 oz of MA and 1 gallon of liquid conditioner (I'm so over the...

Ok. I am getting frustrated. Apparently the sun is just evaporating my pool water. I've had to add water twice this week. I've checked for leaks and I've seen nothing. I've only been filling it to barely above the bottom of skimmer. Currently, it's filling again and this time I'm going...

I'll check FC again tonight after the pool has been sitting in the sun all day.

Ph down to 7.5-7.8. Between the two.

I just want to add, this place is amazing! They are so much help. I'm learning so much here. I am a first time pool owner and was overwhelmed with what to do. Everyone here will guide you in the right directions.

New results after having SWG run at 90% on a four hour cycle for 3 days. ph 8.2. Just added MA. Will check again in an hour FC. 6. I think I need to turn SWG down on percentage??? CC 0 TA 120 CYA 50 CH 220

I've read the manual several times. I have a hard copy of it that the previous owners left. I was able to get two timers set for the pump set. One on high for four hours and one on low for four hours. The low pump triggers the SWG, and the high pump is supposed to trigger the cleaner...

That makes Sense! Thank you. It looks like the MA worked to get the ph down. FC has come up, but TA seems high.

New results: ph 7.5 FC 3.5 TC 3.5 CH 150-225. Water turned purplish blue at 6 and completely blue at 9. LOL. TA 150 CYA. Still 40

I don't think I have one. Only two plastic covers are for skimmers.

I don't understand the different modes and what they do. When I hit the prog button, it has multiple events and loads. I don't know what any of that means. All the equipment in my signature, with the exception of the cleaner, are hooked into timer. I just don't know what events, modes, or...

Hey all. I'm a new pool owner and the equipment all is connected to the intermatic timer. I need some help understanding the modes and what they do, so that I can program the timers for my liking. heres what I think is going on currently with the timers already set up from previous owners...
