    Pool Drain question

    I bought one from lowes that picked up quite a bit. But I didn't like the charging hook up. Actually I couldn't hook up the charger. I'll try somethin else. The pump has been running for two hours and the sand hasn't moved. So I can try again.

    Pool Drain question

    Yes it moves . I would prefer to not have it end up in the filter. I’m going to buy a handheld vac to supplement the robot.

    Should this be sealed?

    I guess I shouldn't use my pool robot in wall mode or brush where that tear is. Would pool liner tape work to slow down/protect the tear at least? The other issues I guess I will deal with when it's time. Hopefully it will last through the summer

    Pool Company opened pool Questions abut what they added

    I finally found muranic acid. I'm going to add today based the pool math app. I assume I will be adding over the course of the next few days not all in one day. I read that it takes about 30min to lower PH. Should I add more than one dosage a day? This is what I bought.

    I did the CYA test with 50% pool water and 50% tap and still got 90 I 'm an idiot . I didn't see the paper with the salt test info in my kit. I was following the laminated card. So I tested the salt and got 3400- 3600. It's a bit tricky to get an exact color match. Pool math shows based on...

    Thanks for the reply. I will turn off the SWG and add muriatic acid. If the water temp was higher would the pool be safe to swim in with the current numbers?
