With the pool leak detection, some settings are still wrong on my pool. I have my pool builder coming on Monday to help me, but in the interim, my fountain is not circulating water. The water is green and murky. I’m uncertain if I should use a bucket to empty it or try to slowly mix it with...

Hi Y’all! Think that the leak on my pool has finally been identified — the back flow valve. https://www.poolsupply4less.com/Pentair-263080-p/263080.htm?gad_source=1 I’ve ordered a whole new assembly. I know that I could have just ordered the internal parts, but I’ve never done this type of...

Thank you Drew and Jim for your thorough explanations!! I think that I chose the correct selection since the valve turned positions and started filling the spa. Yay!

Hi Y’all! Need to understand the different selections on a pool valve toggle switch. I’ve had a leak on my pool. The leak detection guy has been here several times. I know that one time he toggled this switch to neutral when he was working on the pool. He was here again today. Found the leak...

Haha! I definitely shook the CYA jug last time and then rinsed it with water to get the good stuff! FC: 9 CC: 0.5 PH: 7.6 TA: 110 CH: 225 CYA: 40 Salt: 3650

After adding about 6lbs of Chlorox hardness increaser, my CH went from 175 to 200. Thinking that I should add another 12 lbs to bring it up another 50. Thoughts?

Any problems with adding salt today?

Just added 6lbs of Clorox calcium hardness increaser. When should I test CH again?

Also, should I add acid to bring the PH down before I add the calcium hardness increaser? Or add pool conditioner?

Looked up info on my SWG and know how to turn it off. Yay! I'll try to do the overnight test tomorrow. Found Chlorox calcium hardness increaser at Walmart, so I have that to add instead of the Ace Hardware calcium hardness increaser. My city water CH is 150 ppm. To increase my CH to 250...

I don't know my city water CH. I'll test it. I suppose that will tell me if the CH will go up as the pool is refilling? Thanks for the rec on Amazon. Think I found a source locally for a similar price. Is this the correct stuff? O-ACE-sis Granule Calcium Hardness Increaser 25 lb - Ace Hardware
