Thanks the 25ml is the test I have been using for the OCLT test.

Not trying to hijack the thread.. but with the Taylor k-2006 which FC test is more accurate the 10ml with 2 dippers or the 25 ml. with the 2 dippers?

Thanks Blizzle, your the Shizzle.

Once the DE is added does the filter pressure always stay 1 degree higher or will it go back when backwashed. And, is it good to have a little DE in a sand filter just to filter better, I never used any DE, but I might continue to since I have 20lbs. I noticed some of the DE came back in the...

I noticed that the returns were blowing out air bubbles. I looked at my Liquidator and noticed that after the flowmeter there were bubbles in the line. I took the flow meter out of the loop and bypassed it. The flow meter was cracked on the bottom letting in air. I called HASA and they are...

I'm sure it is on here somewhere, but how do I add DE to my sand filter? Also how much DE do I add? Thanks again for your help.

My CH is from fill water. I will lower ph and add DE. Thanks for the help I will give you an update in a few days.

I know I added borax first then the muriatic acid. I realized that I put it in in the wrong order right after I added it to the pool. It took me about 15 minutes to add all the chemicals for each of the 2 doses. If it is calcium what is the best way to get it out? Will it dissolve over time?

I added them 10 days ago just poured them in front of the returns. I put 2 boxes into the skimmer and backwashed the sand filter today, pressure was not built up though.

FC 3.0 PH 7.6 CH 160 Alk 100 CYA 40 Borates 40ish So underwater with goggles I see small particles, at first I thought they were tiny bubbles. In the sunlight you can see really tiny white particles. Is this the borates? The water looks very clean from the sidewalk, but not as clear as it...

I'm thinking about continuing to add borax as needed this season, but not going over 8 boxes. Then switching over to PH+ once I have established some form of a borate level. Does this make sense? Thanks for your advice.

I just stopped the trichlor on Friday June 8th. so that is probably the reason the ph has dropped I also added CYA about 3 lbs. on June 8th as well. Thanks

My TA is at 100 where about should it be? TFP says about 70-90ppm. Could you address the rest of my questions in my last post when you have a chance? Thanks again I'm just trying to get thing correct:)

Jasonlion, I am not using trichlor tablets. I have switched over to bleach for shock. I have just switched over to bleach last week and I'm trying to get used to it. I have to increase PH every time it rains. I understand that PH should normally rise on its own, Correct? I have just started...

So the borate stays in the water through the winter? I read about how to add borates to help keep your pool balanced, but it seems like a lot of money for a pool that is open for 4 months. However, if I raise the borate level this year it will be in the same range next year when I open the...

I have a 20,000 gallon pool and just started adding borax 20 mule to the pool to help raise ph. I do not have any borate testing strips, but was wondering how many 4lbs. 12oz boxes of borax I can add per season (June - sept.15) and still be in the acceptable range for borate? I'm sure someone...
