The app always reverts to 5ppm. Is there a way to set what i would like it to be by default? As I accidentally added 51oz instead of 31oz because the app reverted back to 5ppm instead of 3ppm. Not the end of the world as uncovered/dirty and will come down quite quickly I assume (waiting for a...

I used the sock method BUT....in the skimmer basket... and went out about every hour to squeeze it for a few minutes to get the juices flowing. I also have the pump running non-stop since the sock was added. I will leave the pump running to circulate overnight as well. Hopefully this is...

I've put in the recommended 2lbs of stabilizer and retested a few minutes ago and I can easily see the black dot at 30ppm. Should I give it another hour and retest? Water temps are 63-65c. Does this matter? I recall letting the sample get to room temp ~70 or something might be good? At what...

Perfect. Thanks mate. I have the k2006c test kit. I'll add to my signature. Will focus on getting the cya and chlorine where it needs to be. Thanks!

Hey all! I had my liner for my above ground pool tear. I had a new one installed and had to do a full re-fill. My fill water has high TA of 300. What should I focus on? The pool guy that helped setup some equipment and fix my heater said I should not add any chlorine and just add acid to reduce...

@kimkats I am unsure about the liner. This isn't my pool (in that i didn't buy or have it installed) - it came with the house when I bought it last year. Is there a way to check what I have. I was curious - as looking at replacement liners is confusing due to the install types.

I have loosened the steel wire that keeps the cover over the pool and just pushed the cover into the pool. What is rather interesting - is that the pool is just completely frozen (live in Chicago) and it looks to be frozen at about half the pool depth. I had the pillow in there - and its frozen...

So the recommendation would be to remove the steel cable from the pool cover entirely and just loosely place the cover back into what's left of the pool (if anything)?

Slight correct to original post... the cover itself contains just water. However, i can feel underneath and there is definitely ice still in the pool (under the cover). Pictures for the issue are posted here as well. Thanks again all!

Hey all, I am am pretty new here and I believe I may have done something to close my pool that caused it to leak and empty. I woke up this morning after a very very strong wind storm overnight to see my pool cover 2/3 into my pool and water all over my grass/yard. I tried to see what was going...
